| Students in Speech-Language Pathology/Audiology work professionally in the habilitation and rehabilitation of children and adults with a wide variety of speech, language, and hearing problems including: developmental delays in speech and language acquisition; language learning disabilities; articulation and phonological disorders; voice problems; fluency problems; speech and voice problems related to laryngectomy; communication disorders incurred as a result of stroke (aphasia), head injury, or neurological disorders; communication problems related to conditions such as cleft palate, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, autism and pervasive development disability, and childhood neurological disorders; and disorders of hearing in children and adults. Speech-Language pathologists may work with populations of diverse ages, from infants to senior citizens. Although students may work in health care settings in various positions, most continue their education in a professional program in speech-language pathology or audiology. The master's program in speech-language pathology is accredited by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) which grants accreditation to graduate programs. In addition to private practice and home health care environments, graduates work in schools, hospitals, and other rehabilitation settings. Many have distinguished themselves as leaders in local, national, and international professional settings. Please refer to this link for information about our graduate program. | |
