This subject prepares students for practice in working with clients presenting with
acquired speech disorders. The subject builds on prior learning in areas of neurology,
linguistics and phonetics, and clinical processes to support development of clinical
reasoning associated with assessment, description and diagnosis, and planning of intervention
when working with clients experiencing impairment, activity limitation, participation
restriction, and other psychosocial impacts associated with motor speech disorders
and their precipitating health conditions. The subject will also explore issues in
speech pathology management of intelligibility enhancement in non-pathological situations
such as language, dialect, and accent difference.
Learning Outcomes

control, and execution;
- plan and evaluate holistic speech pathology assessment of motor speech disorders in

- analyse, synthesise, and interpret speech pathology assessment information gathered
from adult clients with motor speech disorders;

disorders.
