Every program will offer different courses, but examples of classes include dyslexia, dyscalculia, phonetics, linguistics, language use and pragmatics, voice and fluency disorders, and communication disorders.

Therapists have the knowledge to help adults and children who have trouble not only with communication but also with drinking, eating, or swallowing. They work closely with caregivers, parents, doctors, occupational therapists, nurses, and teachers. Employment opportunities may be in special and mainstream schools, community health centers, day care centers, outpatient departments, hospitals, and even in a client’s home.
