30-Hours Professional Diploma in Speech Therapy for Children
Credit hours
3
How do children learn to speak and communicate, and what happens when development does not go to plan? The course covers typical speech and language development, common disorders, an overview of assessment, therapy techniques and early intervention. Learners also look at bilingual children, social communication, involving families and ethical issues. It builds awareness for parents, teachers and support staff rather than qualifying anyone as a therapist.
