This course focuses on survey of speech, language, and communication disorders for educators. It includes the consideration of varied disorders that might be encountered in educational settings; application to children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

This course is an overview of speech, language, and hearing disorders. It will investigate the impact of communication on children with developmental disabilities and enable non-specialists to work effectively with this population. Throughout this course, we will consider a range of problems (i.e., neurological and physiological disabilities), as well as applications to children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

Syllabus Description: This course is an overview of speech, language, and hearing disorders. It will investigate the impact of communication on children with developmental disabilities and enable non-specialists to work effectively with this population. Throughout this course, we will consider a range of problems (i.e. neurological and physiological disabilities), as well as applications to children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

In this course, students will study the normal acquisition of speech and language in infants, children, and adolescents. Speech and language development will be studied in relation to the development of cognitive, perceptual, motor, emotional, and social skills. Theories of language acquisition and methods of assessing language will be discussed. The emergence of literacy in relation to language development will also be addressed. In addition, lectures will focus on cultural and linguistic variation in language acquisition. Class format will include lecture, organized discussion, and student presentations.

This OER (open educational resource) is made to be used while teaching Anatomy and physiology of the auditory mechanism, pathology of the ear, assessment of hearing using behavioral, electroacoustic and electrophysiological measures with related instrumentation; Interpretation of audiometric test results. Experiential clinical-related activities.

This course will involve the study of typically developing children, focusing on phonological, semantic, morphological, syntactic, and pragmatic development from pre-linguistic to complex language development. Major topics include contemporary models and key issues in typical speech-language acquisition, including the nature of language and its components, models and theories of language acquisition, and neurological, biological, cognitive, social-emotional, environmental, and cultural foundations of speech-language development. Students will engage in experiential learning activities that include collecting, transcribing, and analyzing children’s spontaneous speech-language samples. Bilingual and second language acquisition will be introduced. The impact of culture on language development will be infused throughout the course content. Class format will include lecture, organized discussion, group assignments, and student presentations.

Etiology, characteristics, and evidence-based assessment and intervention of language disorders in preschool children; models of language disorders in children; emergent literacy to complex language development; cultural-linguistic and individual variation; analysis of play and language samples.

Addresses foundational knowledge related to many aspects of clinical practice in speech-language pathology. It has been developed to support students entry into their first clinical practicum and supervision experience.

Etiologies, characteristics, and evidence-based assessment and intervention of speech, literacy and language-based learning disabilities in school-age children and adolescents; theoretical paradigms used in identification, assessment and intervention; interdependence of language, literacy, and academic achievement; culturally and linguistically appropriate practice.

Phonological theory and research of typical articulation and phonological patterns; perceptual and motor development; phonological processes; evidence-based assessment and intervention; etiologies and characteristics of speech sound disorders; relationships to phonological awareness and literacy; culturally and linguistically appropriate practice.

Evidence-based clinical aspects of audiologic identification, assessment, intervention, and prevention of hearing impairments relevant to the practice of speech-language pathology; strategies for working with individuals and their families across the lifespan; culturally and linguistically appropriate practice.

Methods of teaching basic science concepts and processes to children. Focus on promoting scientific curiosity and developing literacy through inquiry and active learning needed for science explorations. Methods of teaching science to all students, including English Language Learners and Students With Disabilities. Application of course content in field sites with emphasis on developing reflective practice. Continuation of portfolio development. Taught in coordination with General Science 20/GSCI 3050.

Special programs, modifications of curriculum in the content areas, teaching strategies and approaches designed to meet the individual and group needs of culturally and linguistically diverse young children with special needs including giftedness, across the developmental spectrum in early education settings. Focus on family, community, and interagency partnerships; appropriate use of technology, including assistive technology, multiple assessment strategies.

Emphasis on teaching and learning involving rational fractions, decimals and percents, measurement/geometry, probability and data interpretation. Interdisciplinary approaches involving mathematics and science, social studies and literacy. Diagnostic techniques, and adaptation of materials and methods for special needs learners. Introduction to research paradigms in mathematics education.

This course is one in a sequence of four education courses deigned for teachers specializing in mathematics in grades K-6. The first two courses (CBSE 7400T and CBSE 7401T) focus on research-based methodology for teaching mathematics and its use in the classroom. CBSE 7401T deals mainly with methodology for teaching topics related to rational numbers, decimals and percents measurement and geometry.

Study of applied research with children in social science settings. Discussion of ethical issues that arise when conducting research with children. Students will develop their own research questions and explore appropriate methodologies for examining them. Different approaches to research, both quantitative/experimental and qualitative will be discussed. Students will gain hands-on experience with one or more research methods inside and/or outside of the class. The course emphasizes critical reading and understanding of the research literature and the presentation of research findings.

Capstone course is to expose students to the broad range of professions and “real world” opportunities in practice, policy, and advocacy focusing on children and to examine, in-depth, the theory and research underpinning the perspectives on children reflected in these different contexts. In so doing, the course aims to make a critical link between the academic skills and knowledge students acquire as part of the major in Children and Youth Studies, and its application in the many professional areas, government agencies, and non-government organizations whose primary orientation is children and young people.
