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.
