SpHr 588 Advanced Assessment and Intervention for Bilinguals

This course is focused on clinical language assessment and intervention for bilingual, bicultural, and non-mainstream populations within the field of speech-language pathology. Students learn how to select, administer and synthesize results from various assessment tools (e.g., standardized normed-referenced, criterion-referenced tests, dynamic assessment and parent interviews) to diagnose or rule out language impairment in bilinguals. Intervention goals and models are also addressed. While the course addresses several languages and cultures, it focuses on general principles.
