Speech pathologists work with people who have communication and swallowing disabilities.
They particularly focus on helping children aged 0-5 with developmental speech and language difficulties.
They support school-aged children and adolescents with language, learning, and reading difficulties.
They also implement rehabilitation programs for adults with a brain injury, support those with complex medical, developmental, and acquired conditions such as autism, cleft palate, and dementia with communication and swallowing, and work with various professionals to optimise their vocal skills.
Macquarie's Master of Speech and Language Pathology will prepare you for a rewarding career in speech pathology.
In this field, you'll have opportunities to implement tailored services with individuals with developmental and acquired communication and swallowing disabilities, potentially affecting life-changing outcomes.
