Unit Evaluation
Draft Document (code: 10415) - 2008-2009
Unit Vision:
The Department of Speech-Language Pathology will provide an undergraduate education that will produce highly qualified B.S. graduates who will have the academic preparation necessary to be competitive for admission to a graduate program in speech-language pathology or audiology.
The Department of Speech-Language Pathology will provide a graduate education program that will produce highly qualified M.S. graduates who will have met the ASHA standards for knowledge and skills and will have the academic and clinical preparation necessary for providing professional services as speech-language pathologists in a constantly changing healthcare and educational environments.
Unit Mission:
The B.S. degree in speech-language pathology is a pre-professional program that provides a foundation upon which graduate students build to become competent clinicians. Practitioners are required to have the masters degree for professional practice. In the undergraduate program, students acquire basic knowledge related to human communication processes and disorders. They also acquire information on disordered aspects of speech, language, and hearing. This foundation is necessary for the continued acquisition, at the graduate level, of knowledge and skills as related to etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of communication disorders.
The accredited M.S. degree in speech-language pathology is a professional program that provides the theoretical, scientific, and clinical bases of normal and disordered communication. The graduate program prepares speech-language pathologists to provide services in clinical, research, and educational settings. Acquisition of knowledge and skills in both the classroom and clinical settings allows the development of highly qualified speech-language pathologists. The program also provides opportunities for graduate students to serve the community and profession through department sponsored, continuing education activities, faculty mentored research, service to community agencies, and participation in professional organizations.
Alignment with University Mission:
Alignment with U Plan:
The mission of the Department of Speech-Language Pathology is aligned with the 2008-2013 University Strategic Plan in its commitment to excellence. Our program provides for high quality education, community partnership experiences, and preparation for professional clinical service. The B.S. program prepares students for graduate work while the nationally accredited M.S. program prepares graduates for careers as American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) certified speech-language pathologists. Faculty members are committed to excellence in both research and students' academic and clinical preparation. This commitment is evidenced by production of original, nationally recognized research and application of the most current, scientific knowledge to academic and clinical instruction.
Explanation of changes made based on the results and analysis of the 2007-2008 cycle of assessment:
The Department of Speech-Language Pathology has undergone some major changes since the last cycle of assessment: 1. The Department of Communicative Disorders was renamed (July 1, 2008) and is now known as the Department of Speech-Language Pathology. 2. The Speech and Hearing Clinic and the Department of Speech-Language Pathology will move to a newly renovated space in Sugar Hall in spring. The demolition phase of the project is completed with construction to begin mid-October. 3. Faculty members were hired and/or reassigned to address illness, resignation and promotion. An Interim Department Head was hired (August of 2008) when the department head was promoted to a college level position, a new Clinic Director was hired (April of 2008) to fill a resigned position, a new course instructor was hired (August of 2008) to address a resignation following a serious illness, and the clinic secretary, who was on extended sick leave, is now back to work full time. 4. Three faculty members are planning on presenting at the Conference of the American Speech-Language Hearing Association and one has published an article in AJSLP. 5. The Clinic Director, in collaboration with the Interim Department Head, has begun developing a marketing plan including development of new clinic and departmental brochures that reflect both the departmental name change and the image behind the ULM brand. 6. Dr. Kate Gottfred, the 2008 President of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) has agreed to be the invited speaker for the 2009 ULM, Speech-Language Pathology Spring Conference to be held March 13 on the ULM campus. Plans are underway to host this internationally recognized, honored guest. Given these changes, as well as the newly revised ULM Strategic Plan, goals were modified to align the goals of the program's new faculty and administration with the new university plan. Departmental goals were changed as follows: Goal 1 was modified to include not only efficiency but also transparency of operations and organization. Goal 2 was reframed to acknowledge our curriculum's underpinnings in scientific knowledge and our faculty's commitment to the relationship between clinical practice and research. In accordance with best practice guidelines, all Speech-Language Pathology practice should be rooted in theory-based evidence. Furthermore, we acknowledge that not only clinical practice but also pedagogy should be rooted in theory. Goal 3 was reframed to focus on increasing the quality of faculty preparation. Objectives for Goal 3 remained similar to the last cycle of assessment. Specific tactics were added that address two major departmental initiatives: a proposal for the addition of a professional doctoral degree and steps to facilitate attainment of doctoral degrees for faculty members that are pursuing them.
