- Class Description:
- Human communication is a complex interpersonal process that involves speech, language, and hearing. These three aspects of communication are made up of neurological, cognitive, sensory, anatomical, and physiological components, which come together and develop within social contexts. Functional communication skills are necessary to successfully participate in all aspects of society and any breakdown in speech, language or hearing will have an impact on one's daily life-at home, school, work, and/or community settings. In order to determine if a communication disorder exists, we need to have a clear understanding of what constitutes "normal" communication. The definition of what is normal or acceptable speech, language, and hearing behavior may vary according to age, gender, language or dialectal background, and culture. Thus, these factors must be considered when identifying and treating communication disorders. This course will survey a range of communication disorders affecting children and adults, and will explore the origin, assessment, and treatment of these disorders within the context of normal human variation. Reference to the professional fields of speech-language pathology and audiology will be given throughout the semester.
