Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This class provides an introduction to speech-language-pathology and in-depth lectures to all frequently encountered speech and language disorders in children and adults. Students will gain knowledge on the behavioural and neurobiological characteristics underlying speech and language impairments. Although both acquired and developmental disorders are dealt with, special emphasis shall be put on the development of these impairments in children. After this class, students will be capable of distinguishing the most common speech and language disorders since they will have sufficient knowledge to (theoretically) diagnose and assess them. Additionally, they will be able to classify speech and language disorders based on their major neurobiological characteristics.
