Catalog description

The primary objective of this course is for students to build upon concepts introduced in their undergraduate Language and Literacy Disorders course. Specifically, this course will focus on students applying principles of language science to inform oral and written language assessment and intervention. Students will complete a project related to a language client from their practicum caseload to complete a multi-phase evidence-based practice project. Best practices for family-focused intervention, early intervention, and school-based service delivery will be explored in-depth. Interprofessional practice strategies for collaborating with reading teachers, teachers of English Language Learners, English/language arts educators, and regular and special educators also will be explored.
