Communication Disorders Realize potential. Yours and theirs. Emerson’s nationally ranked program prepares students to be critical thinkers and innovative clinicians. Our students learn to apply developmental, cognitive, psychosocial, behavioral, and medical models to the assessment and treatment of a broad range of communication disorders. Offering the academic and clinical excellence of a large research university within the personal setting of a small college, Emerson helps students develop the expertise needed to serve a multicultural urban population. Learn to change lives. M a s t e r ’s D e g r e e P r o g r a m I n On-Campus Clinical Experience The Robbins Speech, Language, and Hearing Center at Emerson has been serving the needs of greater Boston since its founding in 1953. It offers diagnostic services and specialty treatment programs designed to meet the communication needs of both children and adults. Its specialty programs include: The Program for Acquired Communication Disorders addresses neurological problems such as head trauma, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia. The Program for Developmental Communication Disorders is dedicated to the treatment of such disorders as language delay, articulation problems, autism spectrum disorders, and more general developmental delays. The Program for Speech Improvement focuses on issues related to voice, fluency (including stuttering), foreign accent, hearing impairments, and craniofacial anomalies (e.g., cleft palate). The Thayer Lindsley Family-Centered Program provides services to young children who have hearing impairments, and also helps families prepare for the unique challenges of raising a child who is deaf or hard of hearing. Affiliated Specialty Group Programs capitalize on the expertise of clinicians and educators from other Bostonarea institutions. These programs include on-site intensive group treatment for clients of all ages with fluency problems and a social communication group for children with social-pragmatic difficulties. Off-Campus Clinical Experience Our students’ off-campus clinical experiences take place in more than 120 external sites, spanning every possible disorder, age, and setting— rehabilitation facilities, private practices, public and private schools, special schools, early intervention centers, and acute care hospitals.
