Adult Neurogenic Communication Disorders

The concentration in adult neurogenic communication disorders explores themes related to the diagnosis, treatment, and education of people across the continuum of care affected by cognitive, language, and/or speech disorders due to acquired brain injuries (e.g. stroke, TBI) or neurodegenerative pathologies.  Students will demonstrate knowledge and critical thinking skills related to enhancing communication and life participation for these individuals as well as the ability to be an advocate and active member of an inter-professional team.

 

12 credits of electives (5 are predetermined) required for the concentration in addition to the 60 credits required of all students:

 

Note: students may select any other electives to complete the 7 remaining elective credits.  The total credits must add up to 72 in order to complete the concentration.

Literacy with preparation for MA DESE Reading Specialist Licensure

All clinical requirements for endorsement for MA DESE reading specialist licensure must be completed while matriculated in the Master's degree or CAS program.

This concentration provides students with current research, theory, and teaching practices in reading, writing, and oral language. The focus is on understanding reading and writing disorders in the context of oral language development. Specific knowledge is gained on diagnostic tools and strategic interventions for struggling readers and writers. This concentration requires coursework and a specific kind of practicum experience as outlined in the MA DESE curriculum requirements for Reading Specialist licensure.   Hours obtained in this practicum do not count as ASHA clinical hours usually, unless the reading supervisor is an ASHA-certified clinician.  Students interested in working as Speech-Language Pathologists and Reading Specialists in Massachusetts public schools should consider this option.

 

12 credits of electives required (10 are predetermined) for the concentration in addition to the 60 credits required of all students. Please note that all Literacy electives are online courses, except for the Reading Outplacement.

** These outplacement courses are only available while matriculated within the Master's degree program.

Students who have already taken a course in aural rehabilitation as an undergraduate will need to add an additional 2 credits of electives at some point, because they have only 58 credits of required courses before the concentration electives.

 

Additional Requirement:

Completion of the 25 hours of READING PRE-PRACTICUM

 

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (ESE) regulations call for all teachers applying for an initial teaching license in a given field to complete pre-practicum experiences. The regulation follows:

“The Pre-practicum: Early field-based experiences with diverse student learners, integrated into courses or seminars that address either the Professional Standards for Teachers as set forth in 603 CMR 7.08 or the Professional Standards for Administrative Leadership as set forth in 603 CMR 7.10. For candidates serving an apprenticeship or employed as educator of record, these experiences may occur simultaneously with the practicum or practicum equivalent.”

 

Below is a summary of how this requirement will be met by CSD MS and CAS students seeking licensure in reading. You will be advised about how and where you will complete your Pre-Practicum experience.

 

  1. Minimum number of hours: 25

 

    1. Activities:  Most of your pre-practicum hours will consist of observing reading specialists teaching whole classes, small groups, and individuals.  At the discretion of the on-site supervisor, students may also:

-       Take some responsibility for teaching reading

-       Observe meetings related to reading instruction or student educational plans

-       Attend school-based professional development in literacy

-       Tutor students for the MCAS exam

 

3.  Documentation:  A form will be given to you to be completed with required signatures before the formal practicum begins.

Literacy

The concentration in literacy provides students with current research, theory, and teaching practices in reading, writing, and oral language. The focus is on understanding reading and writing disorders in the context of oral language development. Specific knowledge is gained on diagnostic tools and strategic interventions for struggling readers and writers. Students who hope to work after graduation as Speech-Language Pathologists with literacy expertise in states other than Massachusetts can consider this option.

 

12 credits of electives (5 are predetermined) required for the concentration in addition to the 60 credits required of all students. 

 

Note: students may select any other electives to complete the 7 remaining elective credits.  The total credits must add up to 72 in order to complete the concentration.

Medical Speech Pathology

The concentration in medical speech pathology focuses on the co-existence and implications of acute medical illness on a patient’s trajectory across the continuum of healthcare, in context of their swallowing, communication, and cognitive function.  Foundational preparation includes knowledge and skills specific to the needs of critically ill and rehabilitating inpatients, as well as the outpatient care of patients living with dysphagia.

 

12 credits of electives (5 are predetermined) required for the concentration in addition to the 60 credits required of all students.

 

Note: students may select any other electives to complete the 7 remaining elective credits.  The total credits must add up to 72 in order to complete the concentration.
