DESCRIPTION:
This course detailed sources and solutions to communication breakdowns that may arise from degraded speech/auditory signals. It discussed the perceptual processes impacted, including lexical activation and competition. Given the overlap of communication difficulties arising from motor speech disorders and reduced hearing, strategies to promote efficient and effective communication were reviewed.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Explain possible sources for communication breakdowns.
- Describe the perceptual processes that are impacted by degraded speech and/or auditory signals.
- Summarize the approaches, to modifying speech or perception thereof, that may minimize communication breakdowns.
PRESENTER BIO
Rene L. Utianski, Ph.D., CCC-SLP is a Senior Associate Consultant in the Division of Speech Pathology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. She is an Associate Professor of Speech Pathology and Assistant Professor of Neurology in the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine. She earned her BA in Psychology and Speech and Hearing Science from The George Washington University. She received her M.S. and PhD in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Arizona State University. Her clinical responsibilities include differential diagnosis of acquired and degenerative speech and language disorders in the acute care and outpatient settings. Her research focus is to define the distinguishing clinical, acoustical, and neuroimaging characteristics of these neurological disorders to refine their differential diagnoses and inform subsequent treatment.
