The Speech-Language Pathology Program seeks to improve the quality of life of people who have disorders of communication and swallowing. Our goal is to prevent such impairments when possible, and to reduce the disability that may result from those impairments that do occur, whether mild or severe. We do this best by preparing our students to deliver clinical services in all practice settings, to a clientele of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds and of ages that extend across the human lifespan. We also accomplish this goal through our service to the community, from the University to the world at large.

In 2004, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) accredited the Speech-Language Pathology Program in the Department of Special Education and Clinical Services at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
