   1. Phonetics
   2. Anatomy and Physiology of Speech and Hearing
   3. Communication Development in Children
   4. Audiology, and
   5. Speech-Language Sciences
   6. Hearing Science, and
   7. Neurological Foundations of Speech, Language and Hearing
      
      
2. Be employed one-half time or more in the field of speech-language pathology as a speech language assistant, technician, or therapist at least 3 months prior to applying.
