Course Description and Objectives

The purpose of this course is to address three important aspects of motor speech disorders; (1) neural substrates and physiology underlying normal and disordered motor speech control; (2) the disorders and their diagnoses; and

(3) management of motor speech disorders.

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

  • Describe the anatomy and physiology ofthe nervous system underlying motor speech control and its disorders,
  • Identify etiologies and salient characteristics of various types of motor speech disorders,
  • Identify the characteristics of various communication modalities for individuals with motor speech disorders,
  • Describe appropriate assessment principles and methods, and identify the components of a motor speech evaluation,
  • Distinguish motor speech disorders from other neurogenic communication disorders,
  • Describe varied therapeutic principles and procedures, treatment efficacy, and ethical issues pertinent to motor speech disorders.
  • Discuss components of education and counseling for patients, family, and

other professionals.

Upon completion of this course, the student will have met the following requirements for certification in speech-language pathology:

  • Standard III-C. Articulation: Adult etiologies
  • Standard III-C. Voice and resonance: Adult etiologies and characteristics
  • Standard III-C. Communication modalities: Characteristics
  • Standard III-D. Articulation: Adult assessment andintervention
  • Standard III-D. Voice and Resonance: Adult assessment and intervention

Course Structure

The course will be lecture based with use of multimedia resources and will be organized into four sections as follows:

1. Introduction, Neural Substrates, and Examination of Motor Speech

Disorders

2. The Dysarthrias and Their Diagnosis

3. Apraxia of Speech, and Differential Diagnosis

4. Management and Related Issues

Course Requirements
  • You will be responsible for reading the text and allsupplemental material assigned and/or handed out during the semester.
  • You will be expected to attend all class sessions and to participate fully in class discussions/activities. University policy on academic misconduct will be followed.
  • There will be three 100-point examinations.Exams will be comprehensive in the sense that you must know and apply information cumulatively over the semester. However, questions on each exam will focus primarily on materials/topics covered within a given lecture section. Typically, the exams will involve short answer and essay questions. Make-up exams will be given only in instances of University excused absences.
  • Your course grade will be based upon the total points accumulated over the course of the semester. The following scale will be used:

Grade PercentageRange PointRange

A 90 - 100 270 - 300

B 80 - 89 240 - 269

C 70 - 79 210 - 239

D 60 - 69

F 59

  • Extra credit assignments will not be available.
  • University policy prohibits cheating or plagiarizing. Please refer to the student handbook regarding academic dishonesty and policies. Students found cheating or plagiarizing will receive an F for the course and the appropriate Academic Dean will be notified.
  • If, at any time, you have any questions that have not been adequately addressed during regular class meetings, please do not hesitate to set up an appointment to meet with me in my office.

Attendance Policy:

The attendance policy of the College of Arts & Sciences states:

“To earn course credit in the College of Arts and Sciences, a student must attend at least 75% of all scheduled class meetings. Any student who does not meet this minimal standard will automatically receive a grade of “F” in the course. Any University-related activity necessitating an absence from class shall count as an absence when determining whether a student has attended the required 75% of class meetings.”

“In the event you are unable to attend a class session, it is your responsibility to obtain (a) class notes from another student, and (b) any changes in the class schedule. You are also expected to take tests on time. If you are ill, it is your responsibility to notify the instructor prior to the time of the test. If you miss a test without prior approval from your instructor, you will be subject to receiving a zero for the test. When returning from the illness, it is the student’s responsibility to take the makeup exam within 3 days or the student will automatically receive a zero for the test.”

Disabilities Statement:

Baylor University complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 regarding students with disabilities. Eligible students seeking accommodations should contact the Coordinator for Students with Disabilities. Accommodations are not retroactive. Therefore, students should contact the Coordinator as soon as possible in the term for which they are seeking accommodations.
