In the first year of study, you will be introduced to anatomy, physiology, public health, and health research courses, with a focus on Speech Pathology principles. From the second year onwards, the study is specific to the profession and will focus on establishing knowledge relating to typical communication development, linguistics, general psychology, and advanced anatomical structures of the head and neck, while being introduced to the importance of client-centered care. The final two years of the program include the analysis of words, impact of swallowing difficulties, cultural diversity, consideration of clients who speak a language other than English, and the role of a speech pathologist. You will learn how to diagnose and treat speech and language problems, including stuttering, voice, and swallowing difficulties caused by developmental delays or brain injuries.
