A distinctive curriculum

sign language is a language

In recent years, the demand for sign language has increased more and more since it was enacted by law that "sign language is a language." At our school, we welcome deaf people and sign language interpreters as instructors, and you can acquire sign language at the level of everyday conversation. It is also possible to acquire the "sign language proficiency test grade 3" and expand the range of support as a "speech pathologist".

animal therapy

animal therapy

It seems that you are doing reading training for your dog. Learn animal-assisted therapy through animals between the subject and a "speech-language pathologist". Animals have limitless possibilities and bring out the power of the target person. It is a very rare initiative nationwide and is a popular curriculum for students. Under the guidance of a veterinarian, we will set up a communication training program.

Music Therapy -The Power of Music-

Under the guidance of a music therapist, you will learn about music therapy, such as using the power of music to care for the mind and ease the progression of developmental support dementia.

Plenty of practice

In addition to clinical training at the hospital, the following tours and training are also conducted with the cooperation of various local facilities.
We train "speech-language pathologists" who can handle a wide range of people from children to adults.
・Childcare practice (Misumi nursery school, Okamiho nursery school)
・Training at a school for the disabled
・Cooking practice
(Practical training by a registered dietician at a food manufacturer)
・Anatomy practice (Shimane University School of Medicine)
・Participation in preventive care classes (Hamada City Mikawa Public Hall)
・Communication practice and research practice (Mikawaen)

2nd year Speech-Language Hearing Department Maina Inoue

I decided to go to Rehabilitation College Shimane, which has a full curriculum.

Speech-language-hearing department 3rd year Hiroshima Prefecture/from Koryo High School
Maina Inoue

I wanted to find a job that would help people, so I decided to become a speech pathologist. I decided to go to Rehabilitation College Shimane, which has a well-developed curriculum such as sign language and animal therapy, because I wanted to acquire various skills that would be useful in the medical field, rather than simply becoming a "speech-language pathologist." Unlike in the past, medical studies are difficult because there is a lot to memorize, but once you understand them, studying becomes fun and motivates you to study even more. This study is not only for myself, but I am working without forgetting that it is to help patients. Living alone for the first time may be a failure, but I think it's a social study, and I'm doing my best while thanking my parents.

Ayaka Yamauchi, 2nd year in the Department of Speech and Hearing Science

I participated in the open campus of Okinawa and our school.

Speech-language hearing department 3rd year Okinawa Prefecture / from Chinen High School

Ayaka Yamauchi

I was interested in a job that supports people, and I learned about the profession of "speech-language pathologist" at "Odekake Open Campus in Okinawa". I also participated in the "Open Campus" in Shimane, and learned that I could study my favorite music in the form of "music therapy" and that I could learn sign language, which I had been interested in for a long time. . When I have trouble with my studies, my classmates and seniors will help me, so it is an environment where I can study with peace of mind. To find out what kind of atmosphere the school has, please try to participate in the "Open Campus".

speech pathologistYuuka Hoshino

When I was in high school, I learned about the profession of "speech-language pathologist" from a drama I watched, and that was the impetus for me to aim for it. At "Rehabilitation College Shimane", the distance between teachers and students is close, and it's an environment where it's easy to talk about anything. Currently, I am in charge of patients with aphasia, higher brain dysfunction, and dysphagia. There are times when I run into a wall, but I will never forget the joy I felt when a patient I took care of for the first time said, "I'm glad you're here." I think it is important to stay close to the vague anxiety that you will not be able to do what you have been able to do until now, and to notice small changes and share them with patients. I am still immature, but I would like to continue my efforts without forgetting the feeling of moving forward together with patients.
