Speech-language pathologists work to assess, prevent, and treat speech disorders for people of all ages.<\/p>\n<p>During her time at SOU, Mariah was in the <a href=\"\/academics\/honors-college\/\">SOU Honors College<\/a> as part of their inaugural class. The Honors College helped Mariah build her resume; she also learned valuable leadership skills that she uses every day.<\/p>\n<p>SOU&#8217;s English majors are given a wide variety of classes to choose from. In Mariah&#8217;s experience, she was able to take ENG 490, The English Language, a course that covered speech pathology. From then on, she knew speech pathology was what she wanted to pursue.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-5vlfzpu-cb9443ce8a3ddfee759f014f7a935bff\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-5vlfzpu-cb9443ce8a3ddfee759f014f7a935bff .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:26px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-5vlfzpu-cb9443ce8a3ddfee759f014f7a935bff '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock rising-quote av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><blockquote>\n<p class=\"dig-4\" style=\"text-align: left\"><em>&#8220;<span class=\"amaze-ultra madrone\">Writing skills are essential<\/span> in navigating the real world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"pop-8\" style=\"font-size: 0.6em;text-align: right\">\u2014 Mariah Roley<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-5gsrgs2-a8223d3013405a86a3fd119d5a85f6b2 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>While working on her <a href=\"\/academics\/english\/\">English degree at SOU<\/a>, Mariah learned valuable writing and reading skills that aid her every day. She says, \u201cWriting skills are essential in navigating the real world. Also, keeping up on important literature has also helped me stay relevant and talk to my older kids about what they are learning and figure out ways to make therapy more interesting and keep them engaged.\u201d Being an avid reader herself has given Mariah the ability to relate to clients of many ages.<\/p>\n<p>After graduating from SOU in 2017, she first completed a Communication Sciences and Disorders post-baccalaureate program at Pacific University with the goal to go to graduate school and become a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP). Also before graduate school, Mariah was able to shadow a speech-language pathologist in her community and get hands-on learning about what it means to be an SLP.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-l20wk3tu-8b07a46b014caee158092bcc051e557e\">\n.avia-image-container.av-l20wk3tu-8b07a46b014caee158092bcc051e557e img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-l20wk3tu-8b07a46b014caee158092bcc051e557e .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-l20wk3tu-8b07a46b014caee158092bcc051e557e av-styling-no-styling avia-align-  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  pop-20 dig-20'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/SOU-Graduate-Mariah-Roley-2017-Portrait.webp 1200w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/SOU-Graduate-Mariah-Roley-2017-Portrait-300x214.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/SOU-Graduate-Mariah-Roley-2017-Portrait-1030x736.webp 1030w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/SOU-Graduate-Mariah-Roley-2017-Portrait-768x548.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/SOU-Graduate-Mariah-Roley-2017-Portrait-260x185.webp 260w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/SOU-Graduate-Mariah-Roley-2017-Portrait-705x503.webp 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/SOU-Graduate-Mariah-Roley-2017-Portrait.jpg\" height=\"857\" width=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/SOU-Graduate-Mariah-Roley-2017-Portrait.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/SOU-Graduate-Mariah-Roley-2017-Portrait-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/SOU-Graduate-Mariah-Roley-2017-Portrait-1030x736.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/SOU-Graduate-Mariah-Roley-2017-Portrait-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/SOU-Graduate-Mariah-Roley-2017-Portrait-260x185.jpg 260w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2022\/04\/SOU-Graduate-Mariah-Roley-2017-Portrait-705x503.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" class=\"wp-image-81211 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-81211 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"SOU Graduate Mariah Roley 2017 Portrait\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  > <\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-l20wkho3-067da2f1489c4db2c8bcfc221a1928ff '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p class=\"heavy-man dig-4\">This experience was valuable for Mariah, and she urges anyone interested in this field to reach out to your community to get hands-on experience:<\/p>\n<p class=\"pop-4 heavy-man grow-bro\" style=\"padding-left: 5%\"><em>\u201cShadow a speech-language pathologist in the community for a day. There is more to it than articulation in schools. For instance, I had no idea that SLPs work with cognition or swallowing disorders. It is a wide field, and you are constantly\u00a0learning!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In 2021, Mariah earned her MS in Speech-Language Pathology at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. Shortly after graduation, she landed a position in Denver, Colorado working as a speech language pathologist with a pediatric home healthcare company.<\/p>\n<p>Mariah\u2019s clients in the pediatric department are children from ages 1-17 years old. She works for a home healthcare organization, so her daily schedule consists of seeing 5-7 children per day doing in-home therapy. She helps her clients with all sorts of communication skills like receptive\/expressive communication, articulation, cognition, and more.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-4urjniq-3a09bc627c0b0122e276bdd63d1d6e2d\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-4urjniq-3a09bc627c0b0122e276bdd63d1d6e2d .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:26px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-4urjniq-3a09bc627c0b0122e276bdd63d1d6e2d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock rising-quote av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><blockquote>\n<p class=\"dig-4\" style=\"text-align: left\"><em>\u201c<span class=\"amaze-ultra madrone\">Professors<\/span> are your most important resource.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"pop-8\" style=\"font-size: 0.6em;text-align: right\">\u2013 Mariah Roley<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-4djres2-75a859cc031fe289007fb21057f8af32 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Mariah expressed immense gratitude to the SOU English faculty for guiding her through her undergraduate degree and finding her ultimate career path.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, I think that whatever you choose, the professors of this major are going to be your most important resource.
