Undergraduate Curriculum
Motor speech disorders represent the most frequent acquired communication disorder. It is therefore essential that SLT graduates have at least basic knowledge of the manifestations of these disorders, their neuroanatomical and neurophysiological correlates and issues surrounding client assessment, diagnosis and management.
Yet, the teaching of motor speech disorders is often underrepresented in undergraduate curricula. In addition, teaching content varies significantly across European countries.
