This course is designed for undergraduate students in the Department of Communication Disorders. The course content serves as an introduction to neuroscience as it relates to speech, language, and hearing. The focus of this course is on the structure of the human brain and the spinal cord and on the functional organization of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Your learning experience will be supplemented by the use of interactive digital atlases to learn the gross anatomy of the major neural systems underlying sensory, motor, and cognitive function.

We take a public health approach to hearing health, discussing public policy and specific management options for children and adults who are deaf or hard of hearing. This includes, but is not limited to, early intervention, communication strategies, amplification options, and psychosocial issues associated with hearing loss.

An introduction to selected impairments of speech and language in children and adults. Content varies according to the instructor.
