Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences
Speech-language-hearing specialists and audiologists enhance lives by improving communication and hearing.
Whether working with children or adults, these professionals combine science, art and compassion to help people effectively express themselves through speaking and writing, and better interact with the world around them by learning strategies for processing what they hear and read.
