(3 units)

Prerequisites: A grade of “C” or better in SLP 329, SLP 330, SLP 373, and SLP 477 and Speech-Language Pathology majors only. Freshmen excluded.
This course provides entry-level knowledge in both counseling skills and behavior management using a cultural competence framework necessary for future speech-language pathologists. Both counseling and behavior management sections aim to help students develop their cultural competence through discussion on 1) cultural diversity, 2) the influence of cultural values, traditions, communication, and learning styles on the delivery of speech and language services, and 3) considerations when working with interpreters/translators.

Letter grade only (A-F).
