Summary
Recent recorded grades — Spring 2023: 3.89 GPA, 97.3% A/AB (n=37 letter grades); Spring 2024: 3.83 GPA, 82.8% A/AB (n=29 letter grades); Spring 2025: 4.00 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=25 letter grades).
What you’ll be able to do
Describe methods, strengths, and weakness of the different approaches to characterizing motor speech disorders.
Demonstrate knowledge of clinical assessment methods and interpretation for motor speech disorders
Define speech intelligibility and discuss strategies for its measurement as well as its clinical uses.
Describe the Mayo Clinic classification system for dysarthria and discuss its strengths and weakness as well as contemporary alternative approaches to classification of dysarthria.
Describe the unique issues associated with pediatric motor speech disorders relative to adult onset motor speech disorders and how these issues impact assessment and treatment.
Develop treatment plans for individuals with motor speech disorders and provide theoretical and evidence-based justification for the selection of treatment targets in the context of the patient’s ability profile.
Differentiate between impairment-based (restorative/(re)habilitative) objectives / approaches vs. activities and participation focused (compensatory) objectives / approaches.
Define population-specific features that impact intervention target selection and develop population-specific treatment plans.
