Communication Sciences & Disorders eNews
CSD E-News Fall 2007
Last spring the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders offered a one-day continuing education program on "Issues and Advances in Academic and Clinical Teaching.” Over 100 professionals attended the workshop including colleagues from our neighboring universities as well as our own faculty, clinical supervisors and doctoral students. Keynote speakers were Dr. Donna Geffner of St. John's University and Dr. Elaine Geller of Long Island University-Brooklyn. During the day, topics of interest which were addressed included: innovative ways to make classroom teaching more exciting; assessment of student learning in both the academic and clinical setting; and bridging academic learning and clinical practice. Proceedings of the various sessions were compiled and sent to all workshop participants.

American Speech Language and Hearing Association Convention
November 15-17, 2007
Faculty and students in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders will be attending the annual convention of the American Speech Language and Hearing Association in Boston, Massachusetts. This major event usually attracts about 10,000 professionals and students nationwide and is the forum for a wide variety of short courses, workshops, seminars, and poster sessions on topics representing the disciplines of speech-language pathology, speech science and audiology. Almost all of the members of Adelphi's faculty will be presenting papers in the areas of: fluency (Drs. Myers and Raphael), child language development (Dr. Lederer and student), neurodevelopmental issues in child language (Dr. Redstone), apraxia of speech in children (Dr. Arroyo), aphasia recovery (Dr. Goldfarb), and audiology/gender differences in listening (Drs. Serpanos and Schoepflin).
Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA) of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) site visit
March 6 & 7, 2008
Adelphi University's MS program in Speech-Language Pathology has been continuously accredited by the CAA since its creation 40 years ago. It is time, once again, for the CAA to review our master's degree porgram in speech-language pathology. Site visitors will be coming to campus on March 6 & 7, 2008. We are confident they will be impressed with Adelphi University and the high quality of our program's academic and clinical curricula, as well as our faculty, supervisors, staff, and most of all, students.
Public Meeting

4:30 – 5:15 p.m.,
HWC Room 024
All interested individuals are invited to attend a public meeting on Thursday, March 6, from 4:30 – 5:15 p.m. in Hy-Weinberg Center room 024. Representatives from the American Speech-Language-Hearting Association (ASHA) will be on site to recieve feedback on our programs. All members of the community are welcome to attend.
Exciting plans for 2008-2009
We are thrilled to announce our search for a new faculty member to join our department beginning Fall 2008. We are currently interviewing the very best candidates. Stay tuned!
Based on surveys of graduating students, alumni, and employers; feedback from full-time, part-time, and clinical faculty; and interviews with students currently in our MS SLP program, we are planning the following curricular improvements (approval pending):
Beginning in the Fall 2008, we will be adding a second Hy Weinberg Center clinical practicum (internship). That will give our students more hours and more varied experiences prior to placements in their community settings. We will be adding an externship seminar to provide students with additional support in their practica. Lastly, we are planning to introduce a new 1-credit course in autism for SLPs. All of these changes will be made without increasing the number of credits required to graduate as we plan to combine Advanced Audiology and Aural Rehabilitation into a single course.

The Robert F. and Augusta Finkelstein Memorial Lecture
The Robert F. and Augusta Finkelstein Memorial Lecture was established by Adelphi University in 1981 in honor of the late Robert F Finkelstein, a noted industrialist and staunch believer in state and federal support of elementary and secondary education. This endowed lecture is provided through the generosity of Mrs. Augusta Finkelstein, a 1928 Adelphi graduate, in memory of her husband. Her goal was "to provide a series of lectures by well-known persons recognized for their commitment to the elementary and secondary public school system." After Mrs. Finkelstein passed away, the lecture was renamed to honor them both.
The Finkelstein Lecturer for Fall 2008 will be Patrick Finn.
