35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans
Strengths :
The department faculty and staff are involved in the holistic academic
and clinical training of students. The department has faculty who have completed post-doc research in well known Western universities such as
Northwestern University, USA and Macquare University, Australia. They have been successfully incorporating their experience to improve
students training. The department is technically and technologically sound to orient and train students in using the latest equipments/
software’s/ test materials during their practical training. It also has state-
of-the-art equipment to test hearing.
Weaknesses :
As the faculty are involved in academic, research, clinical and public
education, high quality research is not possible.
Opportunities :
The department can also focus on establishing research laboratories to
improve the quality of research. Faculty could be deputed for training in
different reputed laboratories to get hands-on experience. Different short term and long-term training programmes could be thought about to
fulfill the need for better rehabilitation of individuals with hearing impairment.
Challenges :
• Building infrastructure and manpower to cater to the needs of
increasing case load at AIISH.
• Conduct basic and applied research for better treatment and
rehabilitation of auditory based disorders.
• Providing necessary training, facilities and encouragement to faculty
and research staff to bring more international publications each year.
• Providing necessary facilities and encouragement to faculty to write books and getting them published.
13
• Building infrastructure to attract international collaborations in
research and training
• Starting more number of specialized training programmes at the postgraduate level
• Maintain optimum student-teacher ratio for better training of the professionals.
• Update the academicians and practicing audiologists in the country about the advancements in the field, novel strategies and advancing
technologies for early identification, accurate diagnosis and
rehabilitation of the auditory based disorders.
Future Plan
• Research Centre of Excellence on hearing sciences
• Clinical Centre of Excellence on hearing disorders
• Clinical Centre of Excellence on Vestibular disorders
• Initiating PG Diploma programmes

provision of aids and appliances, etc.
35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans
Strengths:
• Department has world class infrastructure for clinical training and services for the persons with communication disorders and follow a
22
multi disciplinary approach with all services for persons with
communication disorders under one roof. Students get better hands
on experience in dealing with variety of persons with communication
disorders under the supervision of faculty/staff.
• As per the University of Mysore 75% of the attendance is mandatory
for the student to appear in the examination. However, clinical
posting at AIISH demands minimum of 90% of clinical attendance.
Students who do not fulfil the clinical attendance criteria have to
compensate to achieve 90% of clinical attendance. Students are
being monitored directly and through CCTV.
• Financial help is provided to needy stakeholders to meet the
expenses related to services provided in the institute from Client welfare fund
Weakness :
• Currently, the Clinical Services are restricted to AIISH, Mysore
which should be extended off campus.
Opportunity and challenges :
• The department needs to serve as a national model in the area of
communication disorders for which test, software’s for assessment
and rehabilitation of persons with communication disorders in Indian
language needs to be developed.
Future plans :
• Disorder wise database to be developed to know the incidence and prevalence of communication disorders in India.
• To increase the number of public awareness programmes on
rehabilitation services.
• To develop a standardized protocol for quick assessment and
rehabilitation of communication disorders.
• Digitization of Clinical documentation.

35. SWOC analysis of the Department and Future plans
Strength:
Majority of the faculty members (77.77%) of the department are doctoral degree holders and guide a major bulk of students in their academic and clinical activities. The department is one of its kinds in the country offering PG Diploma in Clinical Linguistics for Speech-Language Pathologists, housing a large infrastructure (3 laboratories) and assessment and rehabilitation resources in speech-language pathology. The articulograph laboratory has the state-of-art equipment Articulograph AG500 which is the first in the country. The Digital Swallowing Workstation and Digital accelerometry for swallowing are second in the country.
Weakness:
Every faculty and staff of the department are involved in several activities of the department as well as the institute leading to not so excellent quality of research publications and clinical output. Opportunities & challenges: There is a need for improving quality of the research output of the
department. This can be done with more manpower sharing the various responsibilities presently handled by a small number of faculty and staff members. The department is also looking forward to reach out to a
wider population with its clinical services and public education activities.
36
Future plans:
Academics
• ABC level course in Indian Sign Language
• Post Graduate Diploma in Augmentative and Alternative
Communication (PGDAAC) Clinical Services
• Establishment of specialized lab for swallowing disorders
• Centre for persons with communication disorders (Children, Adults
and Elderly), with several units.

35. SWOC analysis of the Department and Future plans
Strength :
The department is unique in India and is involved in research in the area
of speech and language sciences. It is the only department in India to
run a programme in Post Graduate Diploma in Forensic Speech Science
& Technology and has several clinics/units to serve professional voice
users and persons with communication disorders. It is a pioneer in
forensic speaker identification and undertaken consultancy in this area.
Weakness :
As all the faculty are involved in Academic teaching, clinical teaching,
research, clinical services and public education, it is not possible to
carry out high quality research.
Opportunities & Challenges :
The department has great challenge to project itself as a national center
for research in the area of speech and language sciences and to provide
normative data.
Future plans :
• It is proposed to establish a center for speech and language sciences with two units – Speech sciences and language sciences. The speech
science unit will have five sections (Voice cell, Phonology cell , Fluency cell , Prosody cell, Forensic speaker verification cell) and
the language science unit will have 3 units (Language science laboratory, Specialized center for Indian languages, National
programme on early language and literacy)
• An online programme on Post Graduate Diploma in Forensic Speech
Science & Technology is planned.

35. SWOC analysis of the department and Future plans
Strength:
• Center for Rehabilitation and Education through distance mode is
unique and first in India. Through its activities, the center provides
opportunities for the needy parents and persons with communication
disorders to avail the virtual services of assessment and rehabilitation
through tele media, skype, chat, and others.
• The center is producing resource materials (print, multi media contents, and DVDs) in multiple languages of India which will help
in correspondence therapy for those who cannot avail direct rehabilitation services due to various constraints.
Weakness:
• At present, there are limited number of regular staff in the
department making it difficult to have continuity in the activities of the department.
• Awareness about the facilities for tele assessment and rehabilitation,
needs to be improved.
Opportunities:
• With the boom in the advances in technology, the center has abundant scope to expand in horizontal and vertical directions in
future.
Challenges:
• The multilingual and multicultural issues in the country pose real challenges for diversified varieties of resource materials for persons
with communication disorders.
Future plans of the department:
• The center is planning to establish an audio visual laboratory to develop audio visual resource material in the year 2014-15.

• Journal club presentation
• Project/dissertation guidance
• Assignments
a) Learner centered teaching methods:
• Academic activities such as assignments and presentations and
individualized clinical activities are provided to every student.
• Interactive teaching-learning methods are used for students of
Diploma in Hearing, Language and Speech (DHLS) in live as
well as virtual classrooms.
118
• Teaching with ICT facilities to teach students is used in all the
programmes.
• Tutoring through seminars, presentations, discussions and short term training programmes is carried out.
• The teaching-learning sessions are maintained on an average in all the programmes within 1:8 proportion.
• Case illustration, animations, audio-video samples of cases to support the theoretical issues.
• Weekly seminars like research article discussion through ‘Journal Club’ and cases illustration and discussions through clinical
conference.
• All the theory inputs given by faculty are supported by clinically
focused discussions, interactions, presentations, assignments,
demonstrations and practice with clinical resource materials.
b) ICT enabled flexible teaching system: All the classrooms, library and
other teaching-learning systems are supported by ICT resources.
c) Virtual Education: Technology enhanced video conferencing mode
is introduced for Diploma in Hearing, Language and Speech
(DHLS). In this programme, eleven off-campus centres at Ajmer,
Bhagalpur, Cuttack, Delhi, Imphal, Jabalpur, Lucknow, Mumbai, Puducherry, Ranchi and Shimla are connected to AIISH. Theory
classes are conducted at AIISH, Mysore and transmitted to the off-campus centres via a terrestrial link and clinical work is imparted at
the respective off-campus centre. This has enabled simultaneous training of a maximum of 25 students in each of the centres per year
resulting in augmentation of manpower development per year.
d) The students of first M.Sc (Speech-Language Pathology) are posted
in the Centre for Rehabilitation and Education through Distance
Mode, where they get hands on experience in tele assessment and
rehabilitation of clients with speech, language and hearing disorders.
e) Self directed active learning system. Post graduate students present
professional topics in class seminars and symposiums as a part of
their academic activity.
f) Problem based learning. This is carried out through interactive
discussions in class and in the clinical posting of the students, it is on
a one to one basis. Students are provided practical training in
laboratories to learn to handle the instruments, administer tests and protocols etc on normal as well as clients with various disorders of
speech, language and hearing. Problem based learning is enhanced
119
with the input received in all theory papers and effort is made to
translate it to assessment and management of persons with
communication disorders.
g) Evidence based medicine/practice. Evidence based practice (EBP) is
the core requirement for every clinical activity of a student. The
structure of EBP is introduced in the theory classes but implemented in the clinical training and clinical documentation for every student.
Topics on evidence based approaches for rehabilitation of persons with communication disorders are covered in courses within the
programmes. Skill training is provided in the form of documentation of case studies, review of journal articles and discussion with
professionals in the field.
h) Emphasis on development of required skills, adequate knowledge
and appropriate attitude to practice medicine/rehabilitation. Each
student is groomed and periodically assessed for the skills,
knowledge and other clinical aspects through a well established and
tested mechanism. Orientation to the course with specific input on
the personality, character, approaches, attitude towards persons with
disability is held before initiation of the programmes. The students
are encouraged to write research articles to the Journals and to attend
scientific conferences etc.
34. Participation in Institutional
Social Responsibility (ISR) and
Extension activities
The activities are arranged by
different core departments and NSS.

are specialized and unique in the country. The Postgraduate
Diploma in Forensic Speech Science & Technology is unique and
is a credit-based 3-term programme.
• The Diploma in Hearing, Language and Speech is unique in that augmented capacity building at the grassroot level is achieved
through virtual classes.
Weakness:
• The Academic section has no computerized mechanism for student databases and online entrance examinations for
programmes offered.
Opportunities and challenges :
• The section has huge challenge in providing online entrance
examinations, online programmes and in retaining the graduates in
the country.
Future plans
• Launching of 15 academic programmes in the next 3 years.
• Launching of 2 regional institutes of AIISH, Mysore.
• Initiation of online programmes
• Initiation of computerized student database.
• Initiation of online entrance examination for M.Sc. programmes.
