Overview
The Speech-Language Pathology MA program from the Long Island University (LIU) students will be required to demonstrate high standards of competency and ethical conduct within the scope of professional practice. An important element in our training of MA candidates includes inter-professional educational opportunities where students can learn from and work closely with other disciplines. We seek to guide our students through the program by providing advisement, instruction, as well as clinical and intellectual challenges.
Our program goals are both formative and summative in accordance with standards of our professional accrediting organization, the Counsel of Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology. Upon completion of the program our students will be prepared to function in our pluralistic society as speech-language pathologists working alongside allied health professionals and educators in a variety of settings serving the needs of children and adults throughout the lifespan.
Key facts:
Our mission is to provide students with a comprehensive program, built upon a sound theoretical foundation in speech, language and hearing sciences, in which clinical skill development is integrated. Educational and clinical experiences will be guided by a strong adherence to evidence based practice. Strong clinical reasoning, decision making, and communication skills will be developed through training and supervised practice.
Courses examine all facets of the field, including: voice, stuttering, motor speech and swallowing disorders; aural rehabilitation; language impairments and neurogenic communication disorders through the lifespan. Central to your training will be 4 clinical practica: the first two in the on- campus clinic, the 3rd in a school setting, and the 4th in a hospital, rehabilitation center or other adult facility.
