Course Description: This course is designed to be a study in the normal aspects of vocalization and fluent production of the speech signal.  Emphasis will be place on normal aspects of fluency and voice for future comparisons with abnormal voicingand fluency patterns. Anatomical, physiological, acoustic, and theoretical models will be the basis for constructing these models.
Objectives of Course:


1) To understand the meaning of fluency, disfluency, and stuttering.
2) To understand various theories on how abnormal fluency develops.
3) To identify stuttering from a clinical speech sample.
4) To distinguish between clinical examples of stuttering, normal fluency, and developmental disfluency.
5) To know and understand the anatomy and physiology of normal voice production.
6) To know and understand the functional anatomy of the larynx and surrounding structures.
7) To know the parameters of normal voice production.

Student Activities:
