Clinical Language Sciences

The Department of Clinical Language Sciences provides high-quality education for students wishing to enter the speech and language therapy profession and for students entering research training in language sciences. We are dedicated to research and teaching in the area of typical and atypical speech and language acquisition and in acquired speech and language disorders.

The School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences was formed in August 2005 following the reorganisation of the School of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies at the University. Our Department is housed in a purpose-designed building with excellent research facilities. These include laboratories, a purpose built high quality speech booth and a brand new suite of clinical rooms with excellent observation facilities and audio-visual recording equipment.

In the 2005 major review of health care teaching at Reading, speech and language therapy teaching was awarded confidence and commendations in all three areas of the Quality of Learning Opportunities.
