Course Description

In this course, the students will adopt the clinical intervention and treatment processes for adults’ communication disorders. In particular, the course introduces students to rehabilitation and the clinical information that must be used to remodel short- and long-term goals during intervention in many neural-based language, cognitive, and communication disorders (specifically in dementia and mild cognitive impairment). There are also references for using basic therapeutic techniques to clinical and counseling skills. Finally, the students are trained to analyze and interpret clinical information, communicate the results of their intervention by the end of every session, and adjust their therapeutic goals accordingly.
