Speech-Language Pathology Master’s Program Receives U.S. Department of Education Grant

The University of Toledo Master of Arts in Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) Program recently received a grant from the United States Department of Education to help fund the course work development and practicum experiences for graduate students. The joint grant with The University of Akron was awarded to UT’s program for their efforts to improve the speech and listening skills of children with hearing disabilities through the use of technology.

The grant will also be used in collaboration with the program’s Auditory and Language Enriched Program, which targets listening and spoken language skills in young children through the use of a play group. Additionally, the program provides further education for the parents of children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing.  The graduate program in speech-language pathology is accredited by the Council of Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA). For the past four years, 100% of the SLP graduates are employed in the field.

The College of Graduate Studies would like to congratulate the program on this prestigious grant. Individuals interested in the Speech-Language Pathology program may receive more information by contacting the program office at 419.530.2495.
