The science of speech therapy is based on the theory of neuroplasticity of the brain and its function.  It trains the neurons and synapses to regain the function of speech, speech, voice and swallowing (Luria et al.). The Speech Therapist is the scientist who is responsible for the prevention, evaluation, treatment and scientific study of human communication and the disorders associated with the disorders related to the swallowing movements of the oropharynx. Within this general context, human communication encompasses all functions related to the comprehension and expression of spoken and written language, as well as all appropriate forms of non-verbal communication.
