Description:

Keyin’s Speech Language Pathology Assistant diploma program was developed in response to the growing demand for well-trained individuals in the area of speech and language disorders. This program will prepare the student to work in an adjunctive capacity to a qualified Speech-Language Pathologist in a variety of service settings. Emphasis is placed on preparing the graduate to conduct remediation programming after the therapist has assessed, diagnosed, and determined the treatment approach. The program is based on a firm understanding of physiological and functional speech/language/hearing disorders. The development of programming skills and intervention techniques appropriate for the remediation of such disorders is fundamental to this program. The comprehensive competency-based field practice will provide the student with the opportunity to develop and practice these programming and intervention skills.

The program instructors and other related faculty are dedicated professionals with many years of clinical experience in the field of communication disorders who will foster student learning through the use of classroom-based learning, practical lab activities, guest speakers and clinical observations and experiences.
