VALDOSTA — A group of graduate students from 美高梅博彩’s Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders recently gained hands-on experience in working with the elderly.
R. Renee Hannibal博士说,她的CSD 5120:失语症和其他神经源性疾病课程花了几个星期的时间与PruittHealth-Lakehaven的老年居民一起工作,PruittHealth-Lakehaven是一家位于瓦尔多斯塔的专业护理和康复中心。 通过观察每位住院医师,学生们能够将课堂知识付诸实践,以努力识别任何记忆、定向、解决问题、推理、理解和/或听力问题。
Hannibal’s Aphasia and Other Neurogenic Disorders course focuses on the diagnostic and therapeutic principles related to aphasia, traumatic brain injury, and progressive neurological communication disorders.
在整个体验过程中,学生们还能够与PruittHealth-Lakehaven活动总监一起工作,这使他们有机会与老年居民接触并了解他们。 他们帮忙计划膳食,玩宾果游戏。 他们读信件和报纸。 他们听了关于过去美好时光的故事。 他们参加了为居民策划的各种团体活动。
Hannibal said the partnership between vs上’s Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders and PruittHealth-Lakehaven has been going strong for nearly 15 years. 它帮助学生完成学术课程的成人互动部分,并获得与患有认知、沟通和吞咽问题的人一起工作的经验。
“Some of my students told me that this was the first time they had ever visited a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center,” shared Hannibal, associate professor and certified speech-language pathologist. “Many of them reported that this project had truly impacted their lives and left a lasting impression on them. A few decided to continue working with the center as a volunteer.”
vs上的传播科学与疾病系致力于让学生参与学习、研究、临床实践和服务。 这一使命基于与沟通障碍相关的艺术、人文、科学和文化原则。 它提供沟通障碍教育学学士学位,沟通障碍教育学硕士学位,以及沟通科学和障碍语言病理学博士学位。 它还经营校园言语和听力诊所,为南乔治亚地区的男性、女性和儿童提供听力评估、沟通和认知评估以及治疗服务。
