Profile
People with communication disorders and swallowing disorders are enabled to achieve their maximum potential. They are involved in assessing their clients’ communication and swallowing difficulties and developing treatment programs to meet their needs.
They work closely with other members of the team, such as nurses, doctors, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, teachers, etc., and work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, primary care health centers, and schools. The Irish Association of Speech and Language Therapists (IASLT) requires that those in training have a minimum of 450 hours of clinical education, 300 of which must be with a speech and language therapist, and 150 clinically related. In their first year, students visit preschools and centers for people with disabilities, and throughout the course, qualified speech and language therapists supervise the students in training during their work placement.
Notes
"Ireland bases its tuition rates on residence (3 of the last 5 years living in the EU) despite whether you're an EU citizen or not. In other words, only those who have resided in an EU country 3 of the last 5 years are eligible for the discounted rates."
