Can you help?
I constantly receive email regarding Speech-Language Pathology / Speech and Language Therapy in Asia. The email comes from consumers in Asia looking for services for children and adults with communication impairments; members of "expat" / foreign communities in Asia looking for SLP/SLT services in their own languages; researchers trying to contact individuals, professional associations or universities in relation to their research; and recently qualified SLPs graduates wanting to extend their experience by working abroad. I am indebted to, and rely upon, SLP/SLT colleagues throughout Asia for help in keeping this page up to date and accurate. If you can, please suggest sites, provide corrections, and help fill the gaps in the information here.
Please note that clinic sites will not be listed unless they include the names, qualifications (e.g., BSc, MA, PhD) and professional affiliations (e.g., ASHA (CCC), HKAST, IASLT, ISHA, JAS, KASA, NZSTA, RCSLT, SAC-OAC, Speech Pathology Australia, SHAS) of the SLPs/SLTs involved.

Prospective clients should be aware that the inclusion on this page of particular clinics and agencies providing speech pathology assessment and treatment services does not imply endorsement.
