Department of Audiology and Speech-language Pathology

About Us

The Department of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctorate programs in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology. Both the undergraduate and postgraduate courses offered by the department are recognized by the Rehabilitation Council of India. The Department of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology entails the scope and practice of assessment and management of a wide variety of hearing and vestibular disorders, speech and language disorders such as fluency disorders, voice disorders, and swallowing disorders.
In this conducive ambiance, the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology department has thrived well. SRMIST started the Bachelor of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (BASLP) course in 2007. In the year 2013, a postgraduate course in this specialty, Masters of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (MASLP) was started with an annual intake of 10 postgraduate students. In the academic year 2019-20, the university split the master's course into two courses with specialization and increased the number of postgraduate seats to 24 (twelve each in the M. Sc Audiology course and MSc Speech Language Pathology). All the courses are in full compliance with the regulations of the Rehabilitation Council of India. Currently, the intake for the B.ASLP course has been increased to 40 seats per year.
The Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology department is equipped with state-of-the-art instruments and laboratories for clinical and research. With great enthusiasm and pride, we serve the general community, by collaborating with organizations such as Ceshire Homes, Parivarthan Foundation for Parkinson’s Patients, Madhuram Narayanan Centre for Exceptional Children, and with various other NGOs. We also extend our services to various units of State government viz. State Resource Training Centre, Social Welfare dept, and Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan schemes. Such activities provide community exposure to our students.
By now, we are considered among the top ten in our nation. This distinction has been made possible, by the constant endeavor of the faculty, and, encouragement from the administrators and the management. We pledge to become a global player, in the coming years. It calls for skill and patience in assessing special populations, intensive care, and in-patients in the hospitals for communication intervention. The program also highlights assessing the hearing of individuals and helps to find appropriate rehabilitation procedures such as Auditory training, Auditory verbal therapy, and speech-language therapy for effective communication. The breadth and depth of this skill and knowledge may vary with the spectrum of disorders ranging from childhood to geriatric disorders.

Our Vision

To make available preventive, and rehabilitative care to those with communication disorders at minimal cost
To set a benchmark for educating students, research scholars, and teachers of audiology and speech-language pathology to be the leaders in creating a healthier better world
To promote an evidence-based holistic approach to patient care

Our Mission

To render excellent education to students of audiology and speech-language pathology with a blend of traditional and advanced technology
To improve the lives of communities we serve through excellence in learning, and healing with compassionate care
To deliver accessible health services to all in need of care with compassion regardless of status or ability to pay
To enrich learning, embrace change, create innovation, and help tackle the most complicated vexing challenges in health care related to communication disorders
