4.00 Credits
Language development and disorders in spoken and written language of school age children and adolescents, including both primary and secondary language disorders. Underlying constructs and clinical markers leading to differential diagnosis. Assessment and intervention strategies are examined. Prerequisite: CD 521. FA [4-0-4]
-
2.00 Credits
This course addresses child and adult fluency disorders. Current research findings on stuttering will be discussed. Students learn to describe pertinent characteristics of speech fluency, identify the presence of a clinically significant fluency problem, and determine etiologic and maintaining factors. Differential diagnosis of neurogenic and psychogenic stuttering will also be discussed. Appropriate management strategies are considered. Prerequisites: CDS 504, CDS 507, CDS 521, CDS 567. WI [2-0-2]
-
4.00 Credits
Development and disorders of articulation and phonology in pediatric populations. Topics include research-based typologies including childhood apraxia of speech. Assessment skills are developed. Theories and procedures of contemporary interventions are presented. Prerequisite: completion of undergraduate courses in normal speech and language development and in phonetics; CDS 526. FA [4-0-4]
-
2.00 Credits
This course reviews the anatomy and physiology of the speech systems of respiration, phonation, and articulation. A review of hearing anatomy and physiology is included. Development of the speech mechanism across the lifespan is discussed. A one-hour weekly laboratory experience complements didactic information. Prerequisite: completion of undergraduate course in speech and hearing anatomy and physiology. FA [2-1-2].
-
2.00 Credits
This course covers assessment and management of speech, voice, and swallowing disorders resulting from treatment for head and neck cancer. All forms of alaryngeal speech available to laryngectomized individuals are studied. The voice and speech changes expected with other head and neck surgeries/treatments are discussed. Swallowing evaluation/treatment specific to the head and neck population is included. Prerequisite: CDS 537. SP [2-0-2]
-
2.00 Credits
This course covers the unique challenges of evaluation and treatment of speech, voice, and swallowing impairments demonstrated by patients requiring tracheostomy tube placement and/or ventilator support. Basic understanding of various tracheostomy tubes, one-way speaking valves, and ventilators/ventilator settings will be covered. Short and long term options for communication will be discussed. Swallowing evaluation for this specialized population will be covered in detail. A team approach to patient care will be stressed. Prerequisite: CDS 537. SU [2-0-2]
-
4.00 Credits
Normal anatomy and physiology of swallowing, evaluation of disordered oropharyngeal swallowing, and treatment for swallowing disorders are studied. Topics include instrumental and non-instrumental examinations with special emphasis on videoflouroscopic swallow study procedures and analysis. Swallowing disorders in various populations across the age span are discussed. Prerequisite: CDS 537. WI [4-0-4]
-
2.00 Credits
This course reviews the embryology, anatomy, and physiology of normal and abnormal development of orofacial structures. The focus is on cleft-palate and craniofacial anomalies with associated syndromes. Surgical, dental, audiological, and feeding aspects are addressed. Speech, language and resonance evaluation and intervention strategies are discussed with a focus on current literature. The emphasis is on a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment through the craniofacial team. This course includes lectures, discussions, observation in the Rush Craniofacial clinic, class presentations and literature review papers. Prerequisite: CDS 537. SU [2-0-2]
-
4.00 Credits
This course examines the acoustic, perceptual, and physiological dimensions of normal and abnormal voice. Predisposing, precipitating, and perpetuating etiologic factors are considered. Skills for assessment, differential diagnosis, and management of hyperfunctional, psychogenic, and organic voice disorders are developed. Prerequisites: CDS 504, CDS 537. SP [3-1-4]
-
4.00 Credits
Adult onset neurogenic language disorders are examined. Emphasis on pathophysiology, symptomatology, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. Theoretical models and past/current controversies are included. Prerequisite: CDS 507. WI [4-0-4]
