How do you say "speech pathologist" in Spanish???

Question

I'm writing a paper for Spanish, and I need to say what my mom does. A speech pathologist helps kids with speaking problems (i.e. a lisp or not pronouncing "r"s).

Answer 1

Hi and welcome to the forum.

speech therapist = logopeda

Answer 2

Patologo (o patologa) de lenguaje, but I think most people would say "especialista en patologia del lenguaje"

Answer 3

HI freefrog, look at this answer, I made a research on this, maybe logopeda is not used for where you need it.
