MODELS FOR THIS COURSE (models help us describe complex ideas cleanly)
1. Medical Model
a. The concept that someone with a problem seeks assessment, diagnosis, and
treatment from a professional. In theory, the problem is them solved (ex- trip to
the ER for a broken leg)
i. patient has problem
ii. assess the patient: what is the problem?
iii. diagnose the patient: that's the problem.
iv. treat the patient: here’s the solution.
v. problem solved!
vi. several disorders can be cured this way
b. Why is this model important? - it is the most prevalent model in healthcare today
2. WHO-ICF Disability Model (not covered in this class)
a. Model to describe the process of disability for a person within their environment.
b. Why is this model important? - provides helpful definitions for terms associated
with disability (disability, impairment, handicap, etc.)

b. Why is this model important? - it provides a framework for how we see
communication disorders in this course. Messing up one of these steps (formulation,
transmission, reception, or comprehension) will yield some form of disordered
communication
c. Where can this model break down?
-if there is a break in formulation, transmission, reception, or comprehension
between two people (deafness, stutter, etc)
d. How do we find out where that is?
e. What can we do when that happens?
HISTORY- FUNDAMENTAL OF COMMUNICATION SCIENCES AND DISORDERS
-What did Communication Sciences arise out of?
-The speech therapist movement from the late 19th century, and massive casualties
from wars that led to communication disorders.
-EBENEZER PORTER- (1772-1834)
-WHY IS HE IMPORTANT?
-Ebenezer Porter was one of the first scholars to write about elocution, and more
importantly, he wrote briefly about “impediments to good elocution,” what we now call
communication disorders
-Connecticut born
-known for his association with the elocution movement
-lectures on eloquence and style (stutter, lisps, etc.)
-Analysis Of The Principles of Rhetorical Delivery as Applied in Reading and
Speaking - (1827)
*people would talk about and share their ideas at a lyceum = entertainment form
*elocutionist= teach people how to speak well
