Overview

Speech-Language Pathologists also participate in the assessment and management of clients with swallowing difficulties. Speech-Language Pathologists work in a variety of locations including hospitals, schools, rehabilitation centers, community health centers, universities, skilled care facilities, and in private practice. The Communicative Sciences and Disorders program is offered by Alabama A&M University.

The wide varieties of disorders and treatment approaches pertinent to our field require a working knowledge of neuroanatomy, behavioral science, speech/language development, effective teaching strategies, methods for motivating people, and excellent communication skills.

Therapists with a bachelor's degree can perform important duties in some settings, but a master's degree is essential for achieving professional independence, and some duties demand a doctoral degree. This degree program contains both academic and clinical components. It is a two year program if students have an undergraduate degree in CSD, and a three year program if the undergraduate degree is in another area.
