CSD 520 - Speech Sound Disorders

This course is designed to provide master’s level students in speech-language pathology knowledge of advanced management of speech sound disorders (SSD) in children. Functional articulation disorders, phonological processing disorders, cleft palate, and developmental apraxia will be discussed. The primary goal is to acquire a knowledge base in SSD that includes underlying explanations of the disorders, knowledge of the assessment and treatment literature, and sufficient critical thinking skills to provide appropriate assessment and treatment. Through exercises and activities with case-based examples, learners will design assessment plans, select appropriate short and long-term treatment goals and implement an appropriate treatment approach.
