Preamble
Established in the year 1966-67, the department is one of the oldest departments in the institute.
It is well documented that persons with Communication Disorders exhibit problems in psychosocial dimensions. This can manifest as either cause, associated problems or as the consequence of their primary communication problems. The problems with psychosocial dimensions can be ameliorated only through psychotherapeutic intervention and rehabilitation. Admittedly, the activities of the department are aimed to achieve high quality standards through continual improvement in Clinical Services, Public Education, Human Resource Development, and Research
