Clinical Methods in Speech-Language Pathology
Final Exam Questions
Course Introduction
Clinical Methods in Speech-Language Pathology provides an in-depth exploration of the principles, procedures, and practical strategies used in the assessment and treatment of individuals with communication and swallowing disorders. This course covers topics such as evidence-based practice, client-centered care, clinical documentation, goal setting, intervention planning, and ethical considerations in clinical practice. Students gain hands-on experience through case studies, role-playing, supervised observation, and the application of standardized and non-standardized assessment tools. Emphasis is placed on developing clinical reasoning skills, cultural competence, professional communication, and reflective practice essential for effective service delivery in diverse clinical settings.

Q3) Discuss two possible disorders with which speech sound disorders may co-occur. What are the probable causes of this co-morbidity?
Answer: It is suggested that children with SSD possibly, due to reduced intelligibility, overcompensate by straining the vocal mechanism SSD comes first). Conversely, it is plausible that a voice disorder causes limited or inadequate feedback necessary for appropriate speech sound development voice disorder comes first).
