Topics in Communication Sciences & Disorders I:
|
Instructor: |
Patricia Coffin |
Description: |
This course will develop knowledge and skills for planning intervention with clients who would benefit from Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) approaches. Key concepts related to characteristics of potential AAC users, components of AAC systems and strategies, assessment, and intervention will be explored. Students will have the opportunity to: (1) integrate and apply these concepts in planning intervention for case examples, and (2) interview & interact with a person who uses AAC. |
Time: |

Topics in Communication Sciences & Disorder III:
|
Instructor: |
Kelly Root |
Description: |
This course will provide an overview of assessment principles and treatment/management techniques of cognitive-communication disorders in adults. Emphasis will be on the role of the S-LP in assessment and intervention in the area of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other types acquired brain injury(ABI). Prerequisites: SCSD638 and SCSD644, or special permission from the instructor |
Time: |
Monday, 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. |
SCSD-670
|
Topics in Communication Sciences & Disorders II:
|
Instructor: |
Dr. Laura Gonnerman |
Description: |
This course examines variation in language structure and language use from social and cultural perspectives. In it, we will explore (1) how language both reflects and creates social meaning and social identity, (2) the interesting differences that are found across various cultures and social groups, (3) the reasons that communication problems may arise when 'communicatively competent' members of these different cultures and groups come into contact, (4) how this type of knowledge is acquired, and (5) the practical workings of language in our schools and other social institutions (i.e., hospitals and clinics). |

Advanced Research Seminar : (for Ph.D. and M.Sc. students only)
|
Instructor: |
Drs. Shari Baum and Vincent Gracco |
Description: |
The focus of this seminar is on the recent advances inunderstanding brain neuroplasticity associated behavioral change. We will discuss the basic mechanisms and recent findings to critical and sensitive periods with a focus on those of relevance to language. We will survey techniques that are being used to assess neuroplastic brain changes and focus on behavioral measures and approaches that can be used to correlate and predict learning related changes and learning capacity with relevance to treatment of developmental and acquired disorders of communication. Brain changes and models associated with motor and perceptual learning for speech and nonspeech will be examined and contrasted as a means to better understand the domain general and domain specific aspects of neuroplasticity, behavioral change and learning. |
