| Course description: | Supervised clinical experience including evaluating patients, administering speech/language therapy, holding client conferences and maintaining records. Practicum experiences will be obtained at the ENMU SHROC or at sites that are directly supervised by ENMU CDIS faculty. Attendance at a one-hour clinicians' meeting each week may be required. CDIS 501 enrollment requires that students be available for two half days per week, deliver treatment to one client at a single site, and participate in assigned on-campus evaluation/assessment teams. CDIS 501 placements must be 14 weeks in length unless otherwise approved by the clinical director. All students in practicum must follow the terms as specified in the Clinical Schedule Agreement form. Students must earn a grade of “B” or higher in order to count clock hours obtained for ASHA requirements. (May be repeated for credit.) Prerequisite: first semester enrollment in CDIS 501 requires concurrent enrollment in CDIS 504, admission to the graduate program, and verification of additional requirements as listed on the Practicum Procedures Checklist and Responsibilities Statement. Two hours of weekly classroom seminar required. Procedural guidelines for progressing through ENMU clinical practicums will be covered in seminar (e.g., practicum availability/request forms, CPSAs, clock hour logs, agreements to supervise, affiliation agreements, Practicum Procedures Checklist and Responsibilities Statements, and other required documentation). Resume writing, interviewing skills, and other practice issues are included. (F, S, Su) |
