The Speech Sciences program primarily prepares students to practice as speech-language therapists (SLTs) (also known in Malay as Pegawai Pemulihan Perubatan Pertuturan), who are experts in communication. SLTs are health practitioners who identify, diagnose and treat individuals with problems related to speech sound; fluency; voice; language; literacy; social and cognitive communication; as well as feeding and swallowing. Students will follow the foundation and basic science courses at the Kuala Lumpur campus prior to clinical learning, which takes place at our in-house clinic facility, external clinics, schools and community sites.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
