My interest in the complexity of speech and language as well as the importance of communication in everyday human life led me to choose this topic. Language development is an important issue in the field of speech-language pathology. As part of my project, I wrote a research paper on the effects of environmental factors on language development.

In my profession, my aspiration is to improve the quality of someone’s life. My recent experiences involve volunteer work, research

Ironically, most of the language theorists and pioneers in the field of communication sciences and disorders were men; and today men are seen as a rarity. The American Speech Language and Hearing Association reported in 2013 that only 3.7% of speech language pathologists (SLPs) in the field are males (ASHA, 2013).

I have been involved in various speech screenings in the schools. My experience

On the national and state level of speech-language pathology I plan to advocate and educate individuals regarding health, literacy and education. As a Latina, I would like to facilitate this information by translating it to families or individuals who speak English as their second language.

me. However, I when I discovered Speech Language Pathology (SLP), I found what I was looking for. I desire to be an SLP because it will give me the freedom to work in a variety of locations and environments with many different populations while enjoying the luxury of a flexible schedule, a nice income, and possible self-employment. I am eager to learn in graduate school and am excited about being a future SLP. When first learning about Speech Language Pathology, I assumed it primarily served children

Hello Dr. Bellis, I recently applied to USD’s Speech-language Pathology M.A. program for spring starts. Mrs. Korte informed me that spots are limited, but I’m still hopeful to receive a seat in the program. USD is the only spring application I submitted, so there will be no hesitation in my acceptance. I’m extremely motivated to continue pursuing my education and only regret that it hasn’t yet begun. Not only do I look forward to being welcomed into a program where I won’t be lost in a huge crowd

The cognitive functions, emotional development, and language growth of individuals will be affected by those living in poverty.
