The Department of Speech and Language Pathology offers clinical services to individuals with speech and/or language problems caused by hearing impairments. Communication is vital for everyone’s success and survival. While most people communicate easily, some struggle with their communication skills. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) help people of all ages, from babies to adults, address various communication and swallowing issues. SLPs assist with speech sounds, literacy, language, fluency, voice, cognitive communication, and social communication. Individuals facing communication challenges should consider working with an SLP.
