Course Objectives:
Audiological management of exceptional populations including: infants, deaf-blind, and mentally retarded children; understanding the relevant etiological, medical, and genetic considerations of this population. Hands-on diagnostic equipment!


Course Requirements:

The mid term and final examinations will count for 90% of the final grade and will be graded using the following scale:
92-100% =A
82-92% = B
<82% = C

Each student will complete a 15 minute PowerPoint presentation to the class on Evidence Based Practice for a topic assigned during the first two weeks of the semester (see class schedule attached). This will count for 10% of the grade and will be graded on a scale of 1 to 5 as follows:
4 or 5 = A
2 or 3 = B
1 = C

With assistance and supervision from the Lab Instructor each student will complete labs assignments (some of which will be completed during the lab hour; others will be completed outside the lab).
