SLPA 105 Introduction

Welcome to SLPA 105 Speech & Language Development.  In this course you will learn about normal speech and language development.  We will discuss the development of communication skills from birth through adulthood.  Development of cognitive skills and the relationship of cognition to language development will be reviewed, and language will be further broken down into its component skills.  Speech sound development will also be discussed.  Regional and cultural differences and their effect on communication development will be explored.  The development of speech and language skills in children is an amazing process, and I am excited to explore it with you this semester!
