This course is intended to allow students to gain introductory skills in highly valued instrumentation practices in speech-language pathology. Techniques included in this course include pulmonary and cough function testing, flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES), rigid and flexible videostroboscopy, and acoustic voice analysis.
