What is speech and language therapy?

Speech and language therapy provides assessment, treatment, support and care for individuals of all ages who have difficulty with speech, language and communication or with eating, drinking and swallowing.

Speech and language therapists promote inclusive approaches to communicate effectively with service users, adapt environments accordingly and collaborate to improve health, educational and social outcomes for people with speech, language and swallowing difficulties. As allied health professionals, they work in a variety of settings with a diverse range of individuals, health care professionals, education staff and psychologists to develop holistic, individualised treatment plans.

From year one and throughout the programme, you will combine the study of theoretical knowledge with clinical practice to help you link the different domains of knowledge, skills, values and behaviours to specific clinical contexts.
