30-Hours Diploma in Speech Therapy for Effective Communication
Credit hours
3
Explore how speech and language develop and what happens when they do not. Learners study the anatomy of speech, typical milestones, articulation difficulties and language delays, and how these are assessed. The course also introduces intervention approaches and communication aids, offering useful awareness for teaching assistants, carers and parents rather than training to practise as a therapist.
