NELSON ROY

As a professor in a clinical training program, Dr. Roy's approach to classroom instruction has been to provide the foundation for clinical excellence. As a practicing medical speech-language pathologist for almost 30 years, Dr. Roy brings substantial clinical experience to the classroom. In all of his courses, Dr. Roy has invested considerable time preparing instructional materials. He emphasizes a disorder-based approach and uses extensive video and audiotaped cases to highlight important clinical features and symptomatology. Students see and hear numerous examples of specific disorder types. These video case illustrations serve as a springboard to discuss normal processes and the anatomical and physiological underpinnings of disordered speech, language and swallowing. This ultimately leads to an exploration of assessment and management strategies.
