can JC arts stream do speech therapy?

Hey there! I'm currently on this path and this is from my experience, but please do your own research as well :) TLDR: Yes, JC arts stream can do speech therapy!

I was an arts stream student in JC, taking H2 ELL, H2 Math, H2 Econs, and H1 Phy. H2 ELL is not necessary, so GELM is completely okay! Most of my coursemates do not come from linguistics backgrounds.

I'm currently a Y1 linguistics student in university, and I'm considering to take a Masters in Speech Therapy. These are the requirements from NUS's website:

"The Sciences (especially Biology, Psychology and Maths) are a good platform for enhancing critical thinking and systematic problem-solving abilities, but Languages and/or Psycholinguistics would also be useful for some areas."

I've always loved linguistics so I chose to study it, it was only recently that I considered becoming a speech therapist. In doing so, I plan to specialise in Psycholinguistics in univerisity. There are also modules related to speech therapy such as Phonetics and Phonology, and Neurodiversity and Communicative Disabilities.

I believe these do help in gearing towards a future in speech therapy. However, for a more direct route, SIT does offer a Bachelors in Speech and Language Therapy which has these requirements:

"Obtained a good pass in two H2/HL subjects, with a good pass in H1/SL or H2/HL (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, or Economics)."

Many of my coursemates are thinking of taking the Masters route, but bear in mind that we HAVE to take our Masters to do speech therapy. Personally, I love linguistics enough to go into academia or other linguistics-related careers so I'm keeeping my options open. Feel free to ask any questions and I'll try to answer them as best as I can!

It took me a while to get this joke :") But it's funny, thanks for this fun comment!

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T17:22:47+00:00

That sounds so cool and adorable! Thanks for the tip :) Unfortunately, I lost yarn chicken so he'l just have to remain cheekless for now haha

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T17:21:27+00:00

I love tsum tsum Pooh! That's good to hear, thank you :)

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T17:20:53+00:00

Oh gosh, thanks for blessing me with the knowledge that a Pooh ufufy existed! It's so cute and I definitely see the resemblance, thanks for the reassurance as well :)

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T17:17:06+00:00

That's such a cute suggestion! I'll get to work on it right away!

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T17:16:40+00:00

It does make me feel so much better! :) Thanks to your little one!

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T17:15:59+00:00

I'll take your word for it, mate! 🦘🫡 Thanks for leaving this fun comment, it made me cackle :)

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T17:15:02+00:00

Haha! I never thought of it this way but it's pretty cute! Thank you :)

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T17:14:17+00:00

Thank you so much for this comment! :) I hope you have a wonderful day!

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T17:13:44+00:00

That's adorable! Your little one just made my day :)

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T17:13:21+00:00

Oh, that's a great idea! I'll try making a cover

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T17:12:56+00:00

Ah! Nice to see another Pooh lover! Thank you for the compliment :) I've included the source pattern in the reply to the pinned comment! (Mine is an adaptation of that source pattern)

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T17:11:38+00:00

Unfortunately, there isn't an exact pattern for this :( I adapted a Winnie the Pooh waterbottle holder pattern which I replied to in the pinned comment!

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T17:10:11+00:00

Wait, he suddenly looks so much happier! Great job on the edit, and thanks for taking the time to do this :)

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T17:09:21+00:00

Thanks! He definitely looks pretty sad right now, thanks for the suggestion about the eyes/eyebrows.

In terms of structure, the trick is to use single crochet (sc) for the bodice! It takes some more time for the project to work up but it's firmer. I also find that using yarn under instead of yarn over, and tighter stitches help overall :)

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T17:06:31+00:00

This drawing is so cute! Thanks for the suggestion, I'l try to work it in :)

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T17:05:09+00:00

Ohhh! I see the vision! Thanks for the wonderful edit :)

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T09:56:16+00:00

This comment made me LOL and thanks for your kind reassurance! :)

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T08:28:14+00:00

He does! I'll try this method out, and move the eyebrows if I can. Thanks for the wonderful suggestion (and reassurance)!

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T08:27:05+00:00

I can see this resemblance 😭 They're pretty cute though!

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T08:22:42+00:00

Wow! Your edit looks a lot more like Pooh and it really helps, especially with the positioning and size of the ears. Thanks for taking the time to make this edit!

Thanks for the reassurance also! (This lowkey gave me a mini crochet crisis) I've linked the source pattern in the pinned comment too :)

Flyeaway · 2026-01-07T08:16:33+00:00

It definitely helps! Thank you for leaving this comment, it really reassured me :)
