Title
Building Blocks
Learning Outcome
Demonstrate knowledge of the basic building blocks from cell to brain as those building blocks contribute to the areas of speech, language, and hearing.
Title
Neural System Integration
Learning Outcome

Title
Theoretical Model
Learning Outcome
Be able to construct a theoretical model of neurological involvement in peripheral and central disorders involving speech, language, and hearing function as part of their clinical foundation.
