Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology

This credit-bearing program is scheduled to take place from July 13-August 2, 2025 on Adelphi’s Garden City Campus.

In this course, high school students will examine and consider the professions of speech-language pathology and audiology and the various roles of certified speech-language pathologists and audiologists. The work will aid students in exploring the importance of professional values and ethical behavior, the clinician-patient relationship, as well as communication with patients and other healthcare professionals.

You will:

• Benefit from hands-on experience in clinical practice by participating in observations of individuals with communication disorders in our on-campus clinic, the Hy Weinberg Center for Communication Disorders.
• Understand different areas of clinical expertise, including disorders of hearing, speech, language, voice, and swallowing across the lifespan.
• Learn more about how a degree in Communication Disorders allows you to pursue meaningful career paths as a speech-language pathologist or audiologist, or within the fields of education or special education, linguistics, science, healthcare, or administration.
