Last week, the SLP program hosted their annual Parkinson’s Health Fair. Students got to work alongside our faculty and the physical therapy institute. They had the opportunity to educate our community about Parkinson’s. This included learning about how voice, swallowing, hearing, and overall movement can be affected. Everyone had a great time and we can’t wait for next year!

On Wednesday, February 11, Dr. Carroll-Alfano and Mrs. Ball hosted a workshop for medical students. During this event, they discussed what speech-language pathology is, the role of speech pathologists, and our different specialties. They had the medical students perform hearing screenings, cognitive language test, and learned about dysphagia. SLP students explained video fluoroscopic studies and thicken liquids. This was a successful event and we look forward to offering it again, and to other programs!
