What do AUDs do?
-Master's degree in Speech Lang. Pathology (2 yrs. post-bac.)
-400 hours of supervised clinical work
-Pass national exam (PRAXIS)
-9-mo. clinical fellowship (paid work under supervision)
-Credentials from ASHA (CCC-SLP) - correct answer ✔✔What are the certification req. for an
SLP?
-Doctor of Audiology (Au. D.) (4 yrs. post-bac.)
-1,820 hrs. of supervised clinical work - correct answer ✔✔What are the certification req. for an
AUD?
1. Form--grammar/organization
-syntax (sentence organization)
,-morphology (word organization)
-phonology (sound organization)
2. Content/Semantics--meaning/vocabulary
3. Use/Pragmatics--social/conversational skills (the use of lang.) - correct answer ✔✔What are
the 3 domains of lang.?
Joint Attention - correct answer ✔✔(Lang. Develop. Vocab.)
Simultaneous engagement of two or more individuals in mental focus on a single external
object of focus.
*earlier developed skill
Overextension - correct answer ✔✔(Lang. Develop. Vocab.)
Overextending the use of a word beyond its appropriate context (calling every animal doggy).
*typical at a certain age and a good sign that they are learning lang. can be applied to multiple
contexts (even if it's not the right context at first)

What are Grice's 4 Maxims? How would it look if each one was violated?
Interconnectedness - correct answer ✔✔(Principle of Brain Organization)
All areas of the brain work together to perform functions.
Ex. To perform lang. Broca's and Wernicke's areas are the main ones, but there are other areas
of the brain that work to perform lang. too.
Specialization - correct answer ✔✔(Principle of Brain Organization)
Certain areas of the brain are specialized for certain functions.
Ex. Broca's specialized towards lang. production
Ex. Wernicke's specialized towards lang. comprehension
Plasticity - correct answer ✔✔(Principle of Brain Organization)
Brain's ability to change/reform connections (sensitive period—when child is young or after an
injury).
Hierarchical - correct answer ✔✔(Principle of Brain Organization)
Lower-level brain functions are automatic and controlled by the brain stem (i.e. breathing,
blinking) and higher-level functions (i.e. lang.) require more thought.
