The freshman just took the second anatomy exam of the semester! We just finished the anatomy and physiology of phonation. We are now moving on to the anatomy of articulation and resonation. In speech science, we also took our second exam which focused on resonance and the articulation and acoustics of vowels. We have moved onto the articulation and acoustics of consonants. Now, we are beginning to plan our fall semester courses with Dr. Griffer. Overall, all the freshman courses are going well and we are all excited for spring break!

The sophomore classes are
now in full swing, and we are
exploring the deep depths of
Language Disorders in
Children and Articulation and
Phonology with Dr.
Ramachandra and Hearing
Science with Dr. Pagotto. We
are doing some Language
Sample Analysis, which we
learned about in Dr. Griffer’s
class last semester, as
midterms quickly approach in
Dr. Ramachandra’s classes. In
Hearing Science, we just
finished our first unit and took
our first test on the outer,
middle, and inner ear. We are
Sophomore
continuing to observe the amazing student clinicians, and it constantly reminds that each day we are one step closer to being in their shoes. Good luck to everyone on their upcoming exams and keep up the good work.

We as the junior cohort have
been quite busy these past few
weeks! We just got our aural
rehab tests and for the most
part, everyone seemed to be
rather happy with the results
of them! We have been
learning a lot about goal
writing in Clinical Methods
with Dr. Burrows recently. It’s
really exciting to be getting
into all of the things regarding
clinic; it’s so soon! Also, those
of us taking up the teacher
certification are in the online
course for Assessing ESL. We
have been working on writing
lesson plans and adapting
them to an ESL student.

Halfway through the spring
semester and only months to
go until graduation, we're
almost there! We are in our
final externship applying what
we've learned in our classes,
and everyday we're learning
something new. It's been a few
weeks since we've received our
comprehensive exam results
and now we're studying for the
National Exam. Something I
needed to remind myself this
semester is that I know my
stuff and even if I don't know
something I've been given the
tools to figure it out. Have
confidence in yourself and
what you know. Keep it up
everyone!

Second-Year Grad
The first year grad students have been keeping very busy this semester. Many of us are in the middle of our Diagnostic Practicum where we each get to conduct three evaluations. We have to put a lot of work into preparing for the evaluation and interpreting the results, but it is a great
First-Year Grad
Learning experience. In addition, we are each conducting individual research for our clients. During which, we look up different research articles pertaining to our clients, choose one, and then implement it during our sessions. It is also a lot of work but it has been worthwhile to see the different effects the new therapy techniques have been having on our clients. Meanwhile, we also have classes, language groups, and case studies to complete. While this semester has been busy, are learning a lot!

Q: What are you most thankful for? A: I am extremely grateful for my family. Their unending love and continuous support makes me who I am. I am also thankful for the friends I have made at school and for my best friend at home who I haven’t seen in three months. I feel so blessed to have a loving, caring boyfriend as well. I am thankful for all of my blessings, big and small. Q: Why do you want to become a Speech Pathologist? A: When it came to picking a career, I knew I wanted to do something related to education but I knew I didn’t want to be a standard classroom teacher. I have always had an interest in words and communication. Most importantly, I look forward to having a career that makes an impact on the lives of others. Seeing how people grow and change amazes me and the thought that I could help in the process makes me so excited. Q: If you had one wish, what would it be? A: As cliché as it sounds, I would wish for world peace. Not only between countries, but within our country itself. We are all co-existing on the same earth together, why not be happy and loving to one another while doing so?
Observations at the Marywood Clinic
This month we decided to explore all of what the clinic right on campus at
Marywood University has to offer. There are countless advantages to
observing where our very first clinical experiences will take place.
Why did you choose to take part
in this experience?
I chose to take part in research for
the opportunity to experience
and learn about communication
disorders outside of the classroom,
and to gain knowledge about a
specific topic in the field.
If you could go back and do it all
over again, would you? Is there
anything you would change
about it?
I would absolutely do this all over
again, and the only thing I wish I
could change is to be able to do
another research study!
Do you recommend taking part in
this opportunity to future speech
students? What advice would you
give them?
I would definitely recommend to
take advantage of this opportunity
while you can. It's such a great
experience to be able to work so
closely with a small group of students
and professor to achieve a common
goal. It's also awesome to be able to
interact with the participants, which
in our case included clients from our
clinic. You learn about our field in a
whole new way, so if your schedule
allows it, go for it!
I would wish for more love, peace, and acceptance throughout the world, especially at this time.
People should accept each other more for who they
are. I feel that if all people realized they are
essentially the same, the world would be a much
happier place with more love to go around.
Our on campus clinic is one of Marywood’s eye-catching features. As
students in the 5-year Speech-Language Pathology program we have the
opportunity to observe and eventually take part as clinicians in the clinic. As
observers we have the chance to witness the work and creativity that take place in a
session with a client. From the assessment all the way to the session there is
strategic planning on the clinician’s part. Observers get to review the lesson plan
and all the objectives the client will be working on during their session. They also
get to view the interaction that takes place in the session with children and adults
dealing with a speech and/or language disorder.
One major benefit to observing in the clinic would be that students have the
opportunity to visualize the specific disorder they are learning in class. This is great
for visual learners because they can connect the information they are learning with
what is going on in the session. The diversity that each client brings to the clinic
allows for future clinicians to get an understanding of what it to be expected. It
teaches students that each client is different therefor-different plans of treatment
need to be used accordingly. Group session also take place in Marywood’s Clinic,
this is beneficial because it helps students become aware of the fact that certain
disorders need to be treated in a group setting with multiple clinicians.
ASHA requires undergraduates to complete a total of 25 observation hours
before attending graduate school. It is crucial to keep that in mind and reserve time
to complete those requirements.
