Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences
Communication disorders encompass a wide variety of problems in speech, language, and hearing. Our students learn to understand and treat these challenges throughout the entire lifespan of human development. We encourage them to develop a holistic understanding of the communication process and to investigate new ways to expand the mind’s potential to formulate, absorb, and express ideas.
Treating more than a symptom
SLHS researchers strive to help people with progressive aphasia, a type of frontotemporal dementia that causes patients to lose their ability to communicate. Strides in treatment and technology can help support people with this diagnosis.
Undergraduate Program
Undergraduate students receive broad academic preparation in the normal processes of communication and its development, as well as in the identification and treatment of communication disorders.
The fantastic professors, faculty and resources are the perfect place to combine my passion for helping people with my love for music and sound.

Being in UT Austin's Audiology program has meant gaining the knowledge, mentorship, and relationships I need to thrive in any audiology setting, and I truly feel like a valued member of this big community. I can't imagine a better place to build your future.
