In the early years of the discipline of communication sciences and disorders, it was common for academic programs to offer courses referred to generally as “Organics,” which typically consisted of a compilation of voice disorders, cleft lip/palate and related craniofacial anomalies, and perhaps other anatomically and physiologically based communication disorders as well. As the scientific and clinical knowledge base increased, many programs divided such courses into more homogeneous topic areas, for example, establishing a separate course devoted exclusively to cleft lip/palate and related craniofacial anomalies. However, with the expanding scope of practice in the discipline and the need to cover these more diverse areas of practice at the master’s level, many academic programs have reverted to combining disorder areas once again into more encompassing courses. As a result, a variety of disorder areas are introduced to students but at the expense of less depth of coverage of the individual areas.
