1. The Organs and Peripheral Mechanisms Involved in Speech and Their Disorders
By the end of the course, the student will have acquired an excellent understanding of central and peripheral mechanisms that allow articulation of words, including control mechanisms, error detection and correction, and adaptation to physiological changes in the phonatory apparatus (related, for example, to development or aging). The student should be able, for example, to describe how a child acquires the ability to pronounce a syllable (e.g., /pa/) and which areas of the brain, cranial nerves, and muscles are involved in its articulation.
The student will also be able to use this knowledge to understand, prevent, diagnose, and effectively manage speech disorders resulting from peripheral (e.g., functional and organic dyslalias) and central disorders (dysarthrias).
- Introduction to the anatomophysiology of the orofacial sphere, including its developmental aspects.
- Introduction to the main disorders of the orofacial sphere, their diagnosis, and management: functional and organic dyslalias, facial clefts, tubal dysfunction, mouth breathing, infantile swallowing, dysfunctional aspects of orthodontic disorders.
- Functional neuroanatomy of speech motor control: cranial nerves, cortical, cerebellar, and subcortical structures involved in speech.
- Neurocognitive modeling of the mechanisms involved in speech production: the DIVA model.
- Introduction to dysarthrias (a topic that will be further explored in the course LLOGO2142).

Teaching methods
In-person lectures as long as the COVID-19-related health situation allows.
If the health situation does not permit in-person classes, then the course will be conducted online.
If the health situation does not permit in-person classes, then the course will be conducted online.
Evaluation methods
The course evaluation aims to assess the achievement of the intended learning outcomes. This assessment will be carried out through an examination consisting of open-ended questions. The language of assessment is French. As long as the COVID-19-related health situation allows, both the first and second session exams will be written and conducted in person. If the health situation does not permit the organization of an in-person exam, then a remote oral examination will be arranged.
