SLPA 602 - Clinical Practicum (2)


This initial clinical externship is in the fifth semester of the student’s graduate program. The student will be asked to independently apply theoretical concepts gained in academic coursework to assess, diagnose, and provide appropriate evidence-based treatment for individuals with speech, language, cognitive, hearing, and swallowing disorders. Students will conduct their more extensive externship in varied healthcare facilities, schools, and private clinics. Students will continue to further their clinical knowledge and skill base while working with patients in a variety of complex settings. This practicum is designed to assist the clinician with continuing to develop competencies defined by ASHA in the Knowledge and Skills document (KASA) as their clinical breadth and depth is expanded with varied clinical populations. Grading is pass/fail. Offered: Fall.
