Speech Language Pathologist Thesis

256 Words2 Pages

I'm Christopher Donoso. I'm currently enrolled in Seton Hall's Speech-Language Pathology graduate program. I have previously studied General and Special Education in Seton Hall University's undergraduate program, and graduated with a BS in Education in 2016. I've student taught in several general and special education classrooms throughout my semesters at Seton Hall University. Currently, I am interning under an Speech-Language Pathologist in downtown Manhattan.

I wish to give a voice to men and women who have lost their voices or never had one to begin with. I am currently involved in a research based study that aims to increase the level intelligibility (how clearly they can be understood) for typical people. Imagine never being able to sing your favorite song, hum to a catchy tune, or speak to a loved ones without problems. My goal is to add to current research in this field to expand the field of voice for speech-language pathologists so that we can reach the point where this is no longer an issue. …show more content…

In the research study I am assisting in, we seek to improve the level of intelligibility in patients utilizing and electrolarynx; seeking to increase prosody and intonations to make their speech sound more natural.

I hope to make a different, not only within the community of speech-language pathologists, but also in the community of NYC and

  • Speech Pathologist Goals

    Education, in general is such a vital part of my life, I wouldn’t be the devoted, hard-working student I am today without it; therefore, I value it greatly. Graduate education is very crucial to my career because I would not be qualified as a speech pathologist without my Master’s degree. Additionally, there are several other reasons why I believe it is important to me. One reason is that on a graduate level, I am taught more in-depth lectures regarding the scopes of practice that a speech pathologist will be expected to know and perform well in. Furthermore, I will be assigned clients and will gain clinical experience from treating clients with a variety of ages, which can contribute to me becoming a well-rounded speech therapist.

    Article Review: Craig & Washington(2003) 1 Differences in phonology could potentially affect the ability to establish phoneme-grapheme links when learning to read. The phonological features of child African American English (AAE) speakers are different and therefore important to understand because reading acquisition could be affected. The National Assessment of Education Progress reported African American children had a greater prevalence of lower reading levels when compared to White students. An understanding of the specific phonological features of child AAE were investigated during this study to contribute to the minimal research that had been conducted in phonological awareness of child AAE speakers. 2 The participants for this study were 29 typically developing African-American boys and 35 girls.
