The doctoral program in Language and Communicative Disorders is
designed to educate a new generation of scientists who are interested
in applying research skills to the disorders.  This interdisciplinary
program provides training in typical (spoken and signed) and atypical
language, and in the neural bases of language learning, use and
loss.

GOALS:
1. To provide doctoral training in the study of language and
communicative behavior with an interdisciplinary focus that integrates
state-of-the-art knowledge from the fields of communicative disorders,
cognitive sciences, neurosciences, psychology and linguistics
represented by the expertise of core faculty from SDSU and UCSD.
2. To prepare professionals, educated in the interface between
behavioral and cognitive neuroscience methodologies, who will provide
critical leadership in research and health services.
3. To prepare Ph.D. level scientists in the field of language and
communicative disorders to serve as faculty in university programs and
scientists in a variety of settings to carry out much-needed research
on the processes of language development, disorders, assessment and
intervention.
4. To prepare researchers to carry out much-needed research in
communicative behavior and disorders in bilingualism and
multiculturalism.

ASHA CLINICAL CERTIFICATION:
Although this is a research Ph.D. program, doctoral students wishing
to obtain academic preparation for the Certificate of Clinical
Competence in Speech-Language Pathology from the American Speech-
Language-Hearing Association may do so concurrently with their
doctoral studies.  We also have a means for students wishing to
complete their CFY while enrolled in our program.

SUPPORT:
Several different funding sources are used to support doctoral
students including program scholarships, Graduate assistantships, in-
state and out of state fee support and faculty grant support.  In
additioan, “Neurocognitive Approaches to Communication Disorders”, a
training grant (NIH-NIDCD) provides up to two years of funding for
trainees who have the appropriate interests and qualifications.
Contact Dr. Lew Shapiro (shapiro at mail.sdsu.edu) for more information
regarding the training grant.

ASHA 2008 CONVENTION:
Doctoral faculty will be attending ASHA in Chicago in November.
