Home Health Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) primarily provide therapy services in patients' homes, focusing on individualized care in a community setting. Outpatient SLPs work in clinics or hospitals, offering therapy in a more structured environment. Both roles require similar credentials and certifications, but differ mainly in work setting and patient interaction.
