Information about Enrichment Students

Enrichment students are in their 3rd or 4th semester. Enrichment placements are part-time and might be a student’s first external experience outside of the university clinic. These students may require more guidance and support initially but are expected to increase their level of independence and demonstrate competency in all aspects of the setting by the end of the placement. 

Enrichment students will be taking classes concurrently with their placement. The following courses may have been completed or will be in process during their placement.  Please discuss with your student which courses they have completed or are taking, with the expectation that they should be able to pull from their coursework to assist them during their time at the placement.

• Normal Language Processes
• Disorders of Articulation and Phonology
• Language Assessment and Intervention in Early Childhood
• Aphasia
• Research Methods in Speech-Language Pathology
• Language Assessment and Intervention with School-Age Populations
• Autism Spectrum Disorders
• Pediatric Medical Issues
• Voice Disorders
• Advanced Speech and Voice Science
• Adult Dysphagia
• Communication Modalities and Assistive Technology
• Motor Speech Disorders in Children and Adults
• Acquired Cognitive Communicative Impairments
• Fluency Disorders

In addition, all enrichment students have completed Clinical Colloquium, where they received instructions on file reviews, assessments,  lesson plans, SOAPs, clinical writing, report writing, counseling, goal writing, teaching, teletherapy assessments/treatment, the supervisory process, ethics, HIPAA, FERPA, universal and standard precautions, and evidence-based practice.

Please visit the 91²Ö¿â Resources section for a list of forms and resources provided to your student to be utilized at their placement.

 You will be assigned a university liaison whose role is to support you and the student in this process. Your liaison will contact you regarding midterm check-ins and further additional details.  In order to maintain contact, each student is required to complete biweekly reflection forms discussing experiences, goals, and any concerns and submit them to their liaison. 
    
If there are any concerns at any time, let us know sooner rather than later so your liaison can meet with you and the student and provide support.

Grading Enrichment Students

Enrichment students will receive a midterm and a final performance evaluation through a web based program, Calipso, by scoring skills on a scale of 1-5.   A student receiving a score of 3, 4, or 5 on a skill indicates that basic competency is met.  Scores of 1 or 2 indicate that basic competency is not yet met, and the student will need to remediate in that area before graduating.  If a student is performing up to expectations but there has been a lack of opportunity in a particular area for the student, they should be scored based on their demonstrated skills and not penalized due to lack of opportunity.  Remember that all students will likely require some level of support, given that they are still in training.  All individual scores are averaged together to determine the final grade.  Graduate students are required to receive a minimum of a B to pass. Please see our Calipso Information page and FAQs for further details on grading students.
