Speech Science: Instrumentation

Catalog description

To make informed decisions about diagnosis and intervention, clinicians must start from a thorough understanding of all aspects of the speech chain: sound production, transmission, and perception by the listener. Students gain knowledge of physiological, aerodynamic, and acoustic properties of typical and clinical speech throughout the lifespan. This course prepares students to use instrumental techniques in the clinical setting to measure and/or treat aspects of articulation, resonance, phonation, and perception.
