Overview
The Advance Diploma in Speech Therapy trains students to assess and treat speech, language, and communication disorders across pediatric and adult populations, building on an undergraduate psychology or related foundation. The program combines coursework in speech-language pathology with supervised clinical practicum exposure. Students work directly with patients under supervision in clinical and educational settings, applying assessment and intervention techniques to real communication disorders rather than studying theory alone. This hands-on practicum experience prepares graduates for assistant-level roles in speech therapy, special education support, and rehabilitation centers.
