This course serves as continuation of the two-course, in-house practicum experience in the prevention, evaluation, and treatment of clients across the life span with communication disorders. In this second course, clients assigned to student clinicians will increase in complexity, students will conduct evaluations in a team setting, and a greater degree of independence in session planning and implementation will be expected. The practicum is conducted in the Mercy College Speech and Hearing Center (with the possibility of community outreach) and is supervised by Communication Disorders faculty and clinical educators. Additional course fee may apply. (one hour seminar; 20 clinical contact hours; 5 hours weekly supervisory conference).
