You’ll explore how sociology and social psychology impact therapy.As your understanding grows, you’ll explore how therapists can support people who have suffered a stroke, have learning disabilities, speech sounds disorders or autism.The skills you gain at Sheffield will provide you with an excellent foundation to specialise in any of these areas, and the research skills that are essential to providing evidence-based healthcare.
