To fulfill the demand of time and society the University of Dhaka has introduced the Department of Communication Disorders in 2015 under the Faculty of Social Sciences. Following American higher education tradition, this department runs various formal programs as well as non-formal training on speech and language therapy and pathology not only to produce new graduates who will be involved in generating new knowledge and professionally work as speech and language therapists, but also to train parents/care-givers of people with these disabilities, and personnel working in this field in many clinics and hospitals to combat these disorders.
