Speech Pathology and Audiology
Speech Pathology & Audiology - About Us
Western Illinois University Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology is proud of the competent and compassionate clinicians we produce from our program. Connections are important and we base much of what we do on facilitating those connections. Faculty teach courses specific to their areas of interest, but they are also providing the supervision in clinic for those same clients. Each faculty member is licensed and certified as an audiologist and/or speech-language pathologist. We bring years of clinical experience from hospitals, schools, industry, specialty clinics, skilled nursing facilities, home health, and private practice. We aim to provide our students with the tools they will need to become independent clinical professionals.
