We soon take for granted what comes naturally for us.

What's that? A Stroke? Diagnosis of Parkinsons?

or maybe a child, who doesn't respond as quickly as he should.

What about them? What do they do? Where do they go?

9 times out of 10.. they don't even know.

 

Frustration. Discouraged. Alone.

We soon learn what it means to not understand.

What's that? Trouble swallowing? Loss of speech production?

or maybe a child, who's friends wonder why he can't come out and play.

What about them? What do they do? Where do they go?

9 times out of 10.. they don't even know.

 

Passionate. Strong. Determined.

We soon learn of a community, waiting and wanting to help.

What's that? Rehabilitation? Hours of time?

It is. It is Speech therapy. It is Occupational therapy. It is Audio Therapy.

What about them? What do they do?

They're here and they're able to help me and help you.

 

Loving and devoted, with the best you in mind.

There to let you know, it's not a waste of time.

The hard work that they do, and the tries that you take

give way to the astonishing accomplishments you make.

My degree in hand, and my goals all brand new.

My certification will give you a clue

Approachable and fair, helpful and true

Speech Pathologists are there to help, its just what they do.
