PGCert in Communication Disorders Sciences and Services

The Bilingual Speech-Language Pathology advanced certificate at Lehman College is a post-master's credential. It is meant for clinicians who already hold a master's degree and New York State certification as a Teacher of Students with Speech and Language Disabilities. Participants add a Bilingual Extension to that certification so they can provide therapy to bilingual students. The program totals 15 credits, divided into six in education and nine in speech-language pathology. A supervised practice component is also required. Candidates log 50 hours working with bilingual clients under the guidance of a bilingual speech-language pathologist.
