What do I like about teaching?
I absolutely love being in a class teaching courses from speech-language pathology. The whole idea of inspiring students to be SLPs who will do the extremely rewarding work of helping children and adults with their speech, language, hearing, swallowing, voice, and their holistic being is outstanding to me. I go to class to see my students' face light up when I'm able to drive home the point being taught.
The courses I have taught and currently teaching at Communication Disorders and Sciences Program at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale are:
Undergraduate courses:
Multicultural Aspects in Communication Disorders and Sciences
Phonetics
Study Abroad Brazil
Voice and Articulation
Graduate courses:
Neurogenic Communication Disorders
Complex Communication Needs and use of AAC
The courses I have taught in the Dept. of Speech-Language-Hearing: Sciences & Disorders, University of Kansas.
Fluency Disorders is a graduate level course for 3 credits taught during the summer semester(Summer 2017).
Language Sample Analysis Lab is an undergraduate level course for 1 credit taught during spring and fall semesters.
I taught Language Sample Analysis Lab (LSA Lab) from Fall 2016 to Spring 2021. This is the syllabus for my last semester as the instructor.
