Learning Goals	The purpose of this course is to provide the student with the following in terms of prevention, assessment and remediation: • the ability to understand and explain dysphagia • the ability to understand and explain dysarthria and apraxia. •the ability to understand and explain the neuroanatomy and neuropathologies associated with the above • the ability to rehabilitate (when prognosis warrants) swallowing and speech dysfunction in patients who have incurred cerebral insults
Classroom Requirements	Three examinations A project involving one of the learning goals above, including simulations. Reading and writing assignments
