Course Description
This course is designed to provide students a basic foundation in the prevention, assessment and
treatment of articulation and phonological disorders in children. Students will initially learn foundational
information related to the speech sounds of English, the anatomical-physiological mechanisms of speech
production, and the normal development of speech. Students will learn about various aspects of
articulation and phonological disorders, such as variables that are associated with the disorders, the role
of dialects, and the differences between the different kinds of speech production disorders.

Acquisition (KASA):

The ASHA KASA document details the Standards for the Certificate of Clinical Competence for SpeechLanguage Pathologists (CCC-SLP). This document is utilized to demonstrate compliance with
accreditation related to preparing students to meet ASHA certification requirements. According to the
ASHA KASA, the Learning Outcomes for this course are as follows:
LEARNING OUTCOMES
The student will:
1.
List and describe the structural (anatomical--physiological) mechanisms of speech production.
(Standard III-C)
2.
Demonstrate knowledge of the principles of articulatory phonetics and phonology and the expertise in
phonetic transcription necessary to transcribe and analyze speech and to develop phonological intervention
plans based on such analyses. (Standard III-C)
3.
Demonstrate knowledge of basic definitions of articulation and phonology (Standard III-C)
4.
Demonstrate knowledge of normal articulatory-phonological development in children, including listing of
major milestones (Standard III-B)
5.
Demonstrate the knowledge of the nature of specific articulation and phonological disorders and differences.
(Standard III-C)
6.
Explain models and theories of articulatory-phonological development and disorders in children. (Standard
III-C)
7.
Explain the concept of articulation differences vs. disorders in children and adults who speak English as a
second language. (Standard III-C)
8.
Demonstrate knowledge of the collection of information crucial to the assessment of children’s speech,
including connected speech samples, articulation tests, minimal pair tasks, etc. (Standard III-D)
9.
Demonstrate knowledge of the principles and methods of prevention, assessment, and intervention of children
with articulation and phonological disorders. (Standard III-D)

10. List and describe intervention principles and currently-used clinical techniques for the planning and
implementation of intervention plans for children with developmental articulatory-phonological disorders.
(Standard III-D)
11. Demonstrate knowledge of normal and abnormal patterns of development and the characteristics that can
distinguish one from the other. (Standard III-D)
STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
If you have any special learning needs, please see me during the first week of class so we can be sure
you get the proper accommodations. However, before seeing me you must first register with the Office of
Access and Learning Accommodation (OALA) (http://www.baylor.edu/oala). OALA: 254-710-3605
Baylor Blackboard:
Syllabus, lecture notes, handouts, special announcements, and other class material will be
posted on the Blackboard. The student should become familiar with the BB as quickly as possible.
Inability to retrieve course information will not be an acceptable excuse for failure to acquire/master
the information. If you are registered for the class then you are automatically linked to the course. You
will need to check the course site at least once daily.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Students in this course are expected to firmly abide by the Baylor University Student Honor Code as
outlined in the Student Handbook. Students who violate the Honor Code will suffer the consequences:
Any evidence of dishonorable conduct (i.e., cheating in and out of the class for class activities
such as exams and projects) as outlined in the Baylor Honor Code will result in at least an "F"
in this course (http://www.baylor.edu/honorcode/index.php?id=44060).
All Honor Code violations will be reported to Baylor University’s Office of Academic Integrity
right away throughout the semester and will follow the student through their entire time at the
university. Please guard your ethical reputation beginning now. All books/notes/electronic
devices must be out of sight during exams. All hats/caps must be removed.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS
1. Class participation:: You are expected to attend class and participate in discussions and activities.
I anticipate that you will do all assigned readings. All readings should be completed before class on the day they are
to be discussed. Please remember that lectures will be much easier to follow if you have read the day's assignment
BEFORE you come to class. I suggest that you do the following:
1. Before class, read the reading(s) and highlight important information.
2. Attend class, hear the lecture.
3. After class, re-read the reading(s).
1I. CSD Major – Attendance Policy:
The attendance policy of the College of Arts & Sciences states: “To earn course credit in the
College of Arts and Sciences, a student must attend at least 75% of all scheduled class meetings. Any
student who does not meet this minimal standard will automatically receive a grade of ‘F’ in the course.”
As a CSD Major, you are basically expected to attend all classes. In the event you are unable to attend a
class session, it is your responsibility to obtain (a) class notes and/or handouts from another student, and
(b) any changes in the class schedule. You are also expected to take tests on time. If you are ill, it is your
responsibility to notify the instructor prior to the time of the test. If you miss a test without prior approval
from your instructor, you will be subject to receiving a zero for the test. When returning from the illness, it
is the student’s responsibility to take the makeup exam within 3 days or the student will automatically
receive a zero for the test.
III. Quiz Fun 3: There will be three in-class quizzes. These quizzes will be based on the assigned
readings and/or class discussions/activities.
