ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY FOR SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGISTS

Catalog description

The complexity of the anatomy and physiology used in the production and perception of speech, language, and hearing, as well as the anatomy and physiology of swallowing, is discussed and analyzed. This knowledge will serve as a framework for understanding the pathophysiology of these structures and provides a basis for knowing how and where to intervene when attempting to treat or compensate for atypical processes in speech, language, hearing, and swallowing production. This understanding is framed in the context of responsibility, professionalism, empathy for the people cared for, and cultural competence.
