This course presents an introduction to linguistics, which is the study of human language and communication.  Each major branch of linguistics is surveyed with an emphasis on the structure, content, and use of English.  This course also explores language variation and the relationship between language and culture, language and the brain, and how children develop language.  Students practice techniques for linguistic analysis, and clinical applications to the fields of speech-language pathology and psychology are discussed. This class is cross-listed with PSY 242.

This course is an introductory survey of normal processes and disorders of speech, language, and hearing. The behavioral and social consequences of communication disorders in people throughout the life span are presented. Different categories, symptoms, and causes of communication disorders are examined. The roles of the Speech-Language Pathologist and Audiologist in the evaluation and treatment of communication disorders are discussed. Preferred American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) practice patterns pertaining to a variety of professional situations are surveyed.

This course involves the exploration and study of American English pronunciation through the application of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Students will be trained in transcription of English phonemes and allophones and introduced to distinctive feature analysis, phonological rules, prosodic features, and dynamics of articulation, American dialectical variants, and developmental phonology.

This course is designed for students with no previous knowledge of American Sign Language (ASL). Students will acquire basic ASL skills needed to communicate in a wide variety of situations.

This course is designed to give students a basic understanding of the structural organization (anatomy), function (physiology), and neural control for speech production and hearing. The course will emphasize both normal and disordered systems.

This course explores typical language development from birth through adolescence. The social, biological, perceptual, and cognitive bases of language are presented, and various theories of language development are compared. Students gain knowledge of the typical sequence of development in the areas of phonology, semantics, morphology, syntax, and pragmatics through language sample analysis and video observation. Other topics include bilingual language acquisition, cultural and linguistic variation, and the relationship between oral language development and literacy. Processes of typical language development are discussed as a guide for the evaluation and treatment of children with developmental language disorders. This course is cross-listed with PSY 342.

This course explores the physical characteristics of speech sounds and the psychophysical processes involved in speech production, hearing, and speech perception. This course introduces the physical properties of sound waves, resonance, the source-filter theory, spectrogram reading, decibels, and speech perception. Computer applications with practical implications are explored.

This course is an examination of the structure (neuroanatomy), organization (neurophysiology), and functions of the central and peripheral nervous systems as they relate to speech, language, hearing, and cognition. Behavioral manifestations of normal and abnormal brain functioning are contrasted.

This course introduces the communication sciences and disorders  major to the clinical and supervisory process. Basic information regarding certification, professional standards, and ethics are discussed. Goal setting, lesson planning, methods of observing, describing and recording behavior, informal assessment and related topics are also discussed. Behavioral observation and computer technology in the measurement and modification of speaker/listener attributes are examined. Students develop clinical writing skills appropriate to various speech-language pathology settings. This course is an introduction to the clinical process and requires observation of a wide variety of clinical cases.

This course provides students majoring in Communication Sciences and Disorders with a framework for understanding the diagnostic process in speech-language pathology. Principles and procedures common to the diagnosis of most communication and swallowing disorders are presented. Students will gain practice obtaining and interpreting assessment information including case history interviews, standardized testing, and informal assessments. Professional report writing and the presentation of findings are emphasized. Culturally and linguistically responsive assessment practices are presented. The ASHA Code of Ethics in relation to assessment procedures is discussed.

This course presents students with issues related to cross-linguistic and cross-cultural differences as they affect clinicians in the field of communication sciences and disorders. Topics include important sociolinguistic concepts, cross-cultural communication, assessment alternatives, and intervention strategies. Non-biased diagnosis and remediation of speech, language, fluency, voice, and hearing disorders among culturally and linguistically diverse groups are discussed.

This course examines the organization, administration, and implementation of speech and language pathology services in varied settings. These settings include public and private schools; special schools; clinics; rehabilitation hospitals and agencies; acute-care hospitals; and private practices. The course emphasizes the professional role of the SLP and discusses the ethical, legal, and professional standards of practice. The impact of external pressures, e.g., fiscal and efficacy issues, on the practice of speech-language pathology is also addressed. Multicultural variables impacting the practice of speech-language pathology from the legal and ethical perspectives are discussed.

This course reviews and integrates knowledge of normal human communication and contrasts it with disordered human communication and swallowing, preparing the student for graduate education. As part of the review the student will complete clinical observation hours as an introduction to the clinical practicum experience and requires observation of a wide variety of clinical cases. Goal setting, lesson planning, methods of observing, describing and recording behavior, informal assessment and related topics are also discussed. The student develops clinical writing skills appropriate to various speech-language pathology service delivery settings.
