This course offers a comprehensive exploration of voice science and its critical role in communication. Students will study the anatomy and physiology of voice production, distinguishing between normal and pathological voice conditions, and examining the influence of various factors on vocal performance. Advanced treatment methodologies and aural (re)habilitation strategies will be developed for individuals with hearing loss, focusing on their impact on voice and communication. Additionally, students will investigate the application of augmentative and alternative communication devices, virtual service delivery models, and digital health platforms. The course emphasizes evidence-informed practices, the psychosocial ramifications of hearing and voice disorders, and the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration. Restriction(s): For students in the Master of Speech Language Pathology (M.S.L.P.) program only.
