with exceptional educational needs are described and strategies for
improving communication skills in these children are discussed.
Prereq: Restricted to students with Professional Education admission.
Coursework in child growth and development is highly recommended.
510-371 INTRODUCTION TO CLINICAL PRACTICUM IN COMMUNICATIVE DISORDERS 3 cr
This course provides an introduction to the tasks and related competencies
associated with clinical practice in speech-language pathology. Students
will develop an understanding of treatment principles, procedures and
programs used in clinical practice, and gain an understanding of the
responsibilities and professional issues associated with the practice of
speech-language pathology across work settings. By the end of the course
the student will demonstrate knowledge of the scientific method, and
treatment, management and communication skills used in the clinical and
supervisory processes.
Prereq: Communicative Disorders major or cons instr.
510-375 SPEECH SCIENCE II: SPEECH ACOUSTICS, SPEECH PHYSIOLOGY AND
SPEECH PERCEPTION 3 cr

and speech acoustics, speech physiology and speech perception.
Prereq: 510-278 or consent of instructor.

This course reviews normal aspects of articulation and the process of
phonological acquisition. The nature of phonological disorders and
methods of phonological assessment and intervention are discussed.
Prereq: 510-270.
510-380/580 SPEECH AND LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT IN THE CHILD 3 cr
This course provides an introduction to the process and sequence of normal
language development in children birth to school-age. Theories of
language acquisition and the role of cognition, the environment, and
caregivers are discussed. A language sample is analyzed and interpreted
using knowledge gained in the class.
510-381 HEARING SCIENCE 3 cr
A study of physical and psychological phenomena involved in audition to
include 1) anatomy and physiology of the auditory system, 2) acoustics for
the study of hearing, 3) development of pure tone hearing tests, 4)
methods for measuring thresholds, and 5) psychophysical attributes to
sound.
Prereq: 510-270 or consent of instructor.
510-385/585 FLUENCY DISORDERS 3 cr
This course provides for the study of the theories of the cause and onset
of fluency disorders such as stuttering and cluttering. It further
introduces basic clinical and experimental approaches to these disorders.
510-424/624 ORGANIC SPEECH DISORDERS 3 cr
This course provides a basic understanding of how structural malformations
of the vocal tract influence speech and voice production. The primary
focus of study is on applying the principles of speech and voice science
to communication deficits associated with structural changes in the vocal
tract (for example, voice disorders, cleft palate speech disorders, and
swallowing dysfunction).
Prereq: 510-278 or consent of instructor.
510-426/626 NEUROGENIC COMMUNICATIVE DISORDERS 3 cr
This course provides a basic understanding of the neuroanatomic and
neurophysiologic mechanisms underlying speech and language. The primary
focusof study is on neuropathologies and how they influence
brain/language relations (aphasia, dementia) and sensorimotor control for
speech and swallowing (dysarthria, dysphagia).
Prereq: 510-278 or consent of instructor.
510-444/644 OCCUPATIONAL HEARING CONSERVATION 3 cr
This introductory course assists the student in developing and managing an
occupational hearing conservation program. Topics include the effect of
noise on hearing, noise and hearing measurement, selection and fitting of
hearing protectors, federal and state rules and regulations regarding
hearing conservation, and the medicolegal and compensation aspects of
hearing loss.
Prereq: Jr st or cons instr.
510-460/660 PRACTICUM IN COMMUNICATIVE DISORDERS 3 cr
This course offers supervised practicum experiences: observation of
communicative disorders, clinical work on-campus and/or off-campus, and
supervision of practitioners or students. Client availability, student
level of academic and clinical training, and supervisory expertise will
influence student enrollment and section assignment. This course is
repeatable until student has completed required clinical hours. Only 6
credits may count toward the major.
510-472/672 ASSESSMENT IN COMMUNICATIVE DISORDERS 3 cr
This course introduces the theoretical and practical aspects of the
assessment process in communicative disorders. Issues and methods
involved in clinical decision-making are reviewed through case studies and
applied activities. The interpretation and documentation of information
collected during the assessment process are also discussed.
510-481/681 ASSESSMENT AND INTERVENTION IN LANGUAGE DISORDERS 3 cr
This course introduces principles and methods of assessment and
intervention in child language disorders from infancy to adolescence. The
implementation of these procedures using a variety of service delivery
models and the means of evaluating their effectiveness are reviewed.
Prereq: Communicative disorders major or cons instr.
510-482/682 AUDIOMETRY 3 cr
This course is designed to provide information regarding the disorders of
hearing and how different auditory evaluation procedures of the auditory
system aid in the identification of specific types of hearing disorders.
Training in performing different audiological testing procedures is
provided as well as the interpretation of auditory test results.
Prereq: 510-381 or consent of instructor.
