Choosing a major can be difficult, especially when considering expanding your collegiate career from your undergraduate career. For myself, Speech-Language Pathology was a clear answer for me to pursue, especially since I have a desire to help change an individual’s life and make a substantial impact that can affect more then just one individual. From the start of my Speech-Language Pathology collegiate career, I have always been drawn to working with children and increasing their communication skills. Although, my passion for working with children does not stop with expanding their communication skills, but also to help them to become more confident and content with whom they are.
The first time I realized I was different was in second grade, when I opened my mouth to answer a question and my peers giggled as I struggled to answer. I pronounced my R's like W's, which threw my whole pronunciation of the English language into a twist. My previously "adorable" lapses in speech were now affecting me negatively. I was different than the rest of my classmates; I had been born with a speech disorder.

The EDUX 9930 class allowed me the flexibility to choose a topic that was specific to speech pathology. I used the hours of class time to catch up on the most recent research completed through the American Speech and Hearing Association, watch in-services on multiple speech related courses, and listen to webinars that addressed disabilities that affected speech skills. It is important for speech pathologist to stay current with evidence-based practices that will help students make the most progress in the shortest amount of time. I work with students in kindergarten through fourth grade so several of the topics that I focused on were in depth articles on phonological awareness and reading during the primary grades. I will recap some of my
The Report itself is based on a detailed scrutiny of the relevant scientific literature including four reviews commissioned by the Department of Health in 19981 as well as an update commissioned by the Home Office and completed in November 2001.2
I chose this topic because I’m interested in studying speech language pathology or audiology in college and I don’t know much about it, so I wanted to take this opportunity to learn as much as I could about this subject. “Speech Pathologists require significant formal education”. “..Sometimes called speech therapists, assess, diagnose, treat and help to prevent disorders related to speech”. I also chose this topic because my cousin is hard of hearing, which caused her to have learning disabilities and fall behind in school but she took speech therapy to help improve her interactions with people and to help her get further in her educational career. She also uses American Sign Language and she now attends The School for the Deaf
Communication is a two way process which allows us to express our thoughts and feelings to others, while allowing us in turn to understand what others are trying to convey to us. Communication involves speech and language (verbal) as well as facial expression, gesture and body language (non-verbal). Communication is an essential life skill for children and young people and it underpins their social, emotional and educational development. (Bercow 2008)
One challenge an individual may face is communication problems, so as we get older we start to lose our eyesight and our hearing weakens, we will become much more hesitant when we talk. Other things can affect the way we can communicate e.g. Maria’s mother has dementia and is a 1st generation immigrant from Italy, therefore she can only speak Italian; and has forgotten how to speak English. This will make it hard for her mother to communicate with service providers if she’s placed in a nursing home, as they will not be able to understand what she’s saying; which will be a problem as there may be aspects about her mother that needs to be vitally known. Furthermore, her mother will have a hard time negotiating with her support workers that’ll come help during the night.

Individual 1500 word essay. All professional bodies idealise to differentiate themselves from others. Professional bodies aim to create awareness within society of who they are and what they do, in order to create and maintain a specific professional identity. According to Speech Pathology Australia (2016), speech pathology is the ‘diagnosis, management and treatment of individuals who are unable to communicate effectively or who have difficulty with feeding and swallowing’ (para. 1). , whereas nursing defined by Oxford Dictionaries (2016) refers to ‘providing care for the sick and infirm’ (para 1).
It is really a terrible feeling when you are at work or school, tired and hungry. It is around 5 o clock, and you have been thinking about that one piece of cheesecake you left in the fridge last night. You walk in the house and open the fridge, only to find out one of your younger siblings took it without asking. Things may not be pretty; peace may not exist for the next 72 hours between you and your siblings.
Communication is very crucial in life, especially in education. Whether it be delivering a message or receiving information, without the ability to communicate learning can be extremely difficult. Students with speech and language disorders may have “trouble producing speech sounds, using spoken language to communicate, or understanding what other people say” (Turkington, p10, 2003) Each of these problems can create major setbacks in the classroom. Articulation, expression and reception are all essential components for communication. If a student has an issue with articulation, they most likely then have difficulty speaking clearly and at a normal rate (Turkington, 2003). When they produce words, they
