The inability to communicate impacts on every aspect of a person’s everyday life, from learning, to work, to interacting with family and friends. Speech-language pathologists do more than help individuals speak more clearly. They work with young and old to improve the way they communicate, whether it is overcoming a stutter, recovering the ability to speak following a stroke, or simply achieving a better quality of speech. Speech-language pathologists provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to advance in your Speech Language Pathology studies and your profession. Our qualified staff will assist and guide you in selecting and applying the best graduate school option for you, whether in Israel or the US.A 27-credit series of undergraduate courses in Speech and Language Pathology is offered as professional preparation for graduate study in this field.
