Emphasis will be placed on 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 major focus is on basic human communication processes including (a) anatomical and physiological bases, (b) the physical and psycho-physical bases, and (c) linguistic and psycho-linguistic aspects. Cultural differences in management of these disabilities will also be addressed. A major theme in this class is therapeutic intervention strategies, including materials and resources used with these populations. Federal entitlements that relate to the provision of specialized service, service options, and equipment for individuals with speech and language disabilities will be introduced as appropriate. Where appropriate, service delivery models (collaboration, co-treatment, integration, pull-out of individuals and groups) will be discussed.
