Hearing Loss 101: Student to Student

a Spark Webinar designed to enhance your learning and spark new ideas

 

Spark is excited to host a webinar presented by audiology students, Becca Civil, Ellen Jones, and Sarah Wright. As members of the Student Academy of Audiology (SAA), these JMU students were motivated to engage in education and advocacy, thus sparking this interprofessional webinar. The presentation will include an overview of how to identify, refer and treat clients with hearing loss. There will also be discussion of hearing aids, including a hearing aid demonstration. While the presentation is designed for SLPs, Audiology students are also welcome and encouraged to attend! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to explore the subject of hearing loss and engage in interaction between the Audiology and Speech Language Pathology disciplines within JMU’s CSD department.

PHYS/CHEM Requirements + Transfer Credits

Physics/Chemistry Requirements  Below are the most common courses that CSD students take to complete their physics and chemistry requirements. As noted below, PHYS 121 is one of the most popular with CSD majors as it has aspects that can be crossed over into Audiology. These courses are the ones that are available for all majors to take. Please note that most Graduate Schools do not accept ISCI courses due to ASHA Guidelines. A course title with PHYS or CHEM is what is needed for requirements.  PHYS 121. The Physical Nature of Light and Sound (includes lab)   Most CSD majors take this course   Has aspects of sound that can assist with knowledge for Audiology   PHYS 140.

Graduate Student Spotlight- Noelle [SPRING2021]

  Once again we have a Graduate Student Spotlight for Audiology!!! Noelle is a first year AuD student. Hi everyone! My name is Noelle Steele and I am from Pottsville, Pennsylvania. I am a first-year graduate student in JMU’s Doctor of Audiology program. I graduated from Marywood University in May of 2020 with my B.S. in Communication Sciences and Disorders. My journey to graduate school is a bit unique because I finished my undergraduate degree in just three years. I started in a 5-year speech pathology program (3 + 2 program) and decided to opt out of my master’s in speech pathology to pursue audiology instead. During my undergraduate career, I spent my time assisting and teaching in daycares both on campus and at home. This allowed me to work very closely with children and thus, I learned how to quickly build rapport with them. I worked as an early learner instructor for preschool age children at Kumon Math and Reading Center in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, which is an after-scho...

Welcome, Dr. Timler!

             With new students, new faculty, and a new Health and Behavioral Studies building, the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders is excited to kick off a new school year! The undergraduate peer advisors would like to introduce one of our newest faculty members, Dr. Geralyn Timler. At the undergraduate level, she is currently teaching CSD 300 Children’s Language and will be teaching a section of CSD 314 Phonological and Language Disorders in the spring. She is looking forward to the unique opportunity of collaborating with another child language researcher and professor, Dr. Pavelko, for CSD 314. She is also teaching Speech Sound Disorders for the Master’s program and is serving as the new director of JMU’s residential Speech-Language Pathology Master’s program. Her research is focused on social communication disorders and she is looking at how a self-report measure of children’s conversation skills could be used for documenting t...
