Classes focus on strategies, systems and resources relevant to children with ASD/NDD and their families. Content and experiences are organized around developmental periods including: pre-, peri-, and post natal, early childhood, school, transition to adulthood and adulthood.
This course utilizes a flipped classroom approach. Students are first exposed to materials outside of the classroom through readings, videos, discussion boards, etc.; then come to class to assimilate information acquired outside of class via discussions, case studies, in-class activities, etc. Faculty members provide guidance, support and feedback before, during and after class.
The course also includes embedded clinical/field experiences to provide students opportunities for application and reflection. Students are required to complete experiences that focus on early detection, diagnosis, care coordination and treatment of children who have, or are at risk for, ASD/NDD. In addition, students complete experiences in educational and community settings. These experiences focus on prevention, early detection, intervention, and community integration. For example, students participate in the ASD Interdisciplinary Diagnostic clinic to observe, participate and reflect on comprehensive interdisciplinary evaluation, diagnosis and development of evidence-based recommendations for children with/or at risk of AS.

SPTHAUD 6204 - MOTOR SPEECH AND RELATED DISORDERS [3 Credits]
This course will focus on motor speech disorders (e.g., dysarthria and apraxia of speech). The neuroanatomy and neurophysiology underlying these disorders will be explored. Motor control will be addressed across the domains of acoustics, aerodynamics, and kinematics. The assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of motor speech disorders will be approached from both theoretical and clinical perspectives.

SPTHAUD 6206 - INFANT INTERVENTION [3 Credits]
Assessment, intervention, and parental training for at-risk infants will be covered. The course will focus on the management of infants at risk and include clinical experiences in short-term neonatal intensive care, long-term infant programming, and interdisciplinary evaluations and intervention. Training will be provided in home programming, classroom and individual intervention. Parental support
groups will be discussed.
