This course covers the behavioral characteristics and common intervention approaches for language delay and disorders, developmental apraxia of speech, phonological disorders, craniofacial anomalies, cognitive-communication disorders, and disorders of social communication.
This course covers the principles and practice involved in performing in-depth diagnostic evaluations with individuals exhibiting various communication disorders and planning appropriate intervention programs. Students will gain experience in taking case histories, formulating an assessment battery, evaluating patients, interpreting data, writing diagnostic reports, developing treatment plans, and writing SOAP notes.
This course examines phonetic and phonological aspects of spoken language using experimental and clinical methods. Focuses primarily on acoustic phonetics and speech perception. Significant time is devoted to hands-on data analysis techniques.
