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.  In Fall 2008, our
program at SDSU moved into a new clinical, research and academic building
with state-of-the-art Speech-Language and Audiology clinics, wonderful
high-tech labs, and great new instructional facilities.  These resources
combined with the outstanding facilities at UCSD provide doctoral students
with the best possible training environment.

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 may do so concurrently with their doctoral
studies as our program is accredited by the Council on Academic
Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA).  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.  For the past five
years we have received funding through our NIH-NIDCD training grant
“Neurocognitive Approaches to Communication Disorders” that provides up to
two years of funding for trainees who have the appropriate interests and
qualifications.  The renewal application is currently under review. 
Contact Dr. Lew Shapiro (shapiro at mail.sdsu.edu) for more information
regarding this training grant.

ASHA CONVENTION 2010:
Doctoral faculty will be attending ASHA in Philadelphia in November. 
Interested students planning on attending are invited to contact us and
meet us at the Graduate Fair November 18-19.
