Collaborative practices with teachers and related service providers in the schools will also be addressed.
CSD 1500 (requires a minimum grade higher than a D-)
CSD 2100Introduction to Audiology3
This course investigates the nature of hearing disorders and the audiological, medical, social, psychological, and educational implications. It examines basic evaluation procedures and methods of (re)habilitation for individuals with hearing loss. It emphasizes hearing’s impact on speech and language.
Introduction to the study of the physical aspects of speech. Focuses on production, perception, and transcription of the English phonemes using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as well as the acoustic and articulatory properties of each sound.
Provides students with an understanding of language disorders in children, etiological factors associated with them, diagnostic and evaluative techniques, and therapeutic methodologies.
This course examines common etiologies of speech sound, fluency, and related disorders in children and adults. It presents fundamentals of evidenced-based assessment and treatment practices of various disorders through a biopsychosocial framework.
This course places primary emphasis on several of the major speech and language disorders in adults related to aphasia, dysarthria, apraxia, traumatic brain injury, and dementia. The student will begin to understand, and/or apply evidenced-based information to form therapeutic strategies related to cognition and communication.
CSD 3600Communication for Individuals with Hearing Loss3
This course will discuss language and communication for individuals who are D/deaf or hard of hearing.

Topics include clinical and ethical practices in CSD, evidence-based decision making, and principles/procedures in assessment and treatment.
This course introduces students to the neuroanatomy and physiology underlying speech and language. It emphasizes an understanding of the nervous system from a neurobiological perspective. Behavioral and communicative disturbances resulting from disease, defect, or injury are discussed.
This course establishes clinical observational skills and introduces students to clinical processes and procedures in the context of best practices in audiology and speech-language pathology. Students gain exposure to the clinical context through focused video and face-to-face observation.
This course focuses on writing skills of CSD professionals, including writing of research and clinical goals/reports that are aligned with ethics, professional issues, and APA style. This course also addresses evidence-based practice, how to be an informed consumer of research and resources in CSD, and analysis of evidence for clinical application.
CSD 4400Special Populations in Speech-Language Pathology3
This course provides an overview of cleft lip and palate, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, cranio-facial and other syndromes, and autism in children and adults. Emphasis will be placed on the identification of and differentiation between the various disorders. Attention is given to speech and language development in children with these disorders, to the nature of the speech and language disorders they may exhibit, and to the differential diagnosis and clinical management by speech-language pathologists in conjunction with specialists from other disciplines.
A basic analysis of how sound is generated and measured. In addition, the manner in which the human auditory system encodes sound information and subsequently extracts meaning from it will be investigated.
