Currently, I am interning under an Speech-Language Pathologist in downtown Manhattan.

I wish to give a voice to men and women who have lost their voices or never had one to begin with. I am currently involved in a research based study that aims to increase the level intelligibility (how clearly they can be understood) for typical people. Imagine never being able to sing your favorite song, hum to a catchy tune, or speak to a loved ones without problems. My goal is to add to current research in this field to expand the field of voice for speech-language pathologists so that we can reach the point where this is no longer an issue. …show more content…

In the research study I am assisting in, we seek to improve the level of intelligibility in patients utilizing and electrolarynx; seeking to increase prosody and intonations to make their speech sound more natural.

Education, in general is such a vital part of my life, I wouldn’t be the devoted, hard-working student I am today without it; therefore, I value it greatly. Graduate education is very crucial to my career because I would not be qualified as a speech pathologist without my Master’s degree. Additionally, there are several other reasons why I believe it is important to me. One reason is that on a graduate level, I am taught more in-depth lectures regarding the scopes of practice that a speech pathologist will be expected to know and perform well in. Furthermore, I will be assigned clients and will gain clinical experience from treating clients with a variety of ages, which can contribute to me becoming a well-rounded speech therapist.

Article Review: Craig & Washington(2003) 1 Differences in phonology could potentially affect the ability to establish phoneme-grapheme links when learning to read. The phonological features of child African American English (AAE) speakers are different and therefore important to understand because reading acquisition could be affected. The National Assessment of Education Progress reported African American children had a greater prevalence of lower reading levels when compared to White students. An understanding of the specific phonological features of child AAE were investigated during this study to contribute to the minimal research that had been conducted in phonological awareness of child AAE speakers. 2 The participants for this study were 29 typically developing African-American boys and 35 girls.

I can honestly go on for pages about how rich this community and culture is, but I 'll leave it at this: as a hearing person who is now aware of how important communication sharing is to the Deaf community, I think that it is my personal responsibility to continue to develop my skills in ASL and bring that skill in to my work; not for the sake of repairing or "fixing" hearing or even cognitive issues, but for the sake of making all information in a person 's treatment readily available without the need to an interpreter. In the fall of 2014 I began working with a handful of Highschool students who all were struggling with different learning disabilities dyslexia being one of my main focuses . I myself was diagnosed
