Information
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
A valid assessment of an individual's communicative
abilities and disabilities is the foundation upon which all clinical activities
are based. Design and implementation of an appropriate clinical plan is
the other component necessary for optimal clinical outcome.
In this course we will examine the essential
components for diagnostic evaluation and intervention of speech and language
disorders. Constituent elements will include:
-
Obtaining preassessment and
assessment information
-
Interviewing and counseling
-
Selecting
formal and informal assessment instruments
-
Interpreting
and integrating results to design a clincial plan
-
Selecting strategies to implement
the plan
-
Report writing
-
The clinician's role in the
clinical process
This will be a practical, hands-on class
that requires extensive participation by each student. Opportunities
for case presentation, development of report writing skills and test administration
will be maximized while lecturing will be kept at a minimum. Case
histories presented in class will represent people with communication disorders
from a variety of backgrounds, family structures, and ages.
