Why do I need experience of speech and language therapy and/or with people with communication difficulties?
In order to understand the demands of the course and, ultimately the profession you plan to enter, you must obtain experience working with individuals who have communication difficulties and an understanding of the role of a SLT. The course is intense and you must have confidence and comfort in working with clients who have difficulty communicating. You must also have a good understanding of the role of a Speech and Language Therapist in one or more clinical setting.
