Mobile Learning ProgramMobile Learning ProgramThis one-year, three-term program is designed for students who have completed a diploma, degree or equivalent program, and who wish to work in a supporting capacity with a qualified Speech-Language Pathologist or Audiologist.
This program will prepare graduates to carry out therapy and programming with clients who have speech language, feeding, swallowing, literacy and hearing disorders under the supervision of a Speech-Language Pathologist or Audiologist after assessments are complete. In-class curriculum is supported through hands-on training in the newly-developed audiology lab including practical experience working in the sound booth and with audiology testing equipment.
Students in this program participate in second and third term practicum placements for a minimum of 245 hours. These experiential learning opportunities are designed to provide students with opportunity to learn, apply and practice practical skills and techniques within the community setting. Placements could be Canada-wide and students should expect to relocate during their placement at their own expense.
