Student Knows Firsthand the Value of a Speech-Language Pathologist
For Eshaun雷, the decision to major in speech and hearing sciences was deeply personal. As a teenage tennis player in Helena, Alabama, she began having trouble breathing, to the point that she would sometimes pass out.
A pediatrician diagnosed asthma and prescribed an inhaler. 这没有帮助. 治疗 做了检查没有发现哮喘的迹象. “She referred me to a speech-language pathologist, who then diagnosed me with having vocal cord dysfunction,” 雷说.
Normally, your vocal cords open when you take a breath. 声带功能障碍， they don’t open properly, and sometimes even close. “它的症状与哮喘相似，” 雷说. “It causes me to have that choking feeling and raspiness.”
The speech-language pathologist, or SLP, gave her breathing exercises. 他们工作. 雷又能打网球了. 她找到了人生的使命. “我想。 be able to impact other people as much as that SLP impacted my life.”
“我想。 be able to impact other people as much as that SLP impacted my life.”
At South, Wray learned, “There are SLPs who are researchers, clinicians, professors, 所有社区的倡导者和领导者. This field is so broad, you’ll never get bored in it.”
She volunteered at the USA Autism, Pediatric Language and Literacy Lab and worked on a speech-related research project comparing the prosodic awareness skills of children with and without autism spectrum disorder. She reported her findings at a symposium presented by South’s Summer Undergraduate 研究 Fellowship (SURF) program.
She moved on to Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia, to study for a master’s in 交际科学与障碍. She said she plans to pursue a doctorate with a goal of becoming a college professor, maybe even back at South.
“I want to teach the next generation of SLPs,” 雷说. “我真的很想扩张 这个职业领域. There are not that many SLPs who are members of minorities. 我真的 想要发展和多样化这个领域.”
