Message from the Department Head
Our BA program and MA programs were developed by leading researchers and clinicians to train Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists to employ evidence-based practices in a large range of areas that comprise the evolving clinical field of communication disorders.

Main Areas of Activity
The department offers BA and MA degrees in Communication Disorders as well as a separate BA program on the college’s ultra-orthodox campus.
A vital practical portion of students' education takes place at three impressive Hadassah facilities: the Claire & Emanuel G. Rosenblatt Clinic of Communication Disorders, the Audiology/ENT clinic and the Adler Aphasia Center.
The Claire & Emanuel G. Rosenblatt Clinic offers a range of services for assessment of language disabilities, pediatric language delays, and speech and language disorders. This includes the assessment and treatment of language and speech disorders from infancy to adulthood.
The Audiology/Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) clinic works in collaboration with the staff of the Audiology/ENT department at the Hadassah Medical Center in Ein Kerem, Jerusalem. The clinic is one of the largest facilities in the country and provides hearing evaluation and rehabilitation, as well as ENT clinical services.
The Adler Aphasia Center provides long-term rehabilitation care, treatment and therapy for individuals with severe acquired speech and language aphasia. Aphasia is a general language dysfunction caused by damage to the language centers of the brain. Hadassah Academic College is home to Israel's only such rehabilitation center for severe aphasia, which is also the first international branch of the Adler Aphasia Center in New Jersey (USA).
Career Opportunities
Speech therapist/Audiologist graduates from our program are greatly valued in the educational, medical and the private sectors across the country as clinicians and researchers.
