This subject introduces students to speech pathology processes and competencies through
class and experiential clinical activities. In this subject, knowledge, skills and
professional attributes as outlined in CBOS 2011 will be discussed, with an emphasis
on client centred and evidence-based approaches. Students will be introduced to their
professional role in relation to working with people from diverse cultural and linguistic
backgrounds, with hearing impairment and/or complex communication needs. Students
will apply basic principles required for speech pathology assessment and intervention
including integration of prior learning (such as acoustics, phonetics, linguistics,
anatomy). Students will undertake observations and clinical placements with supervision
and guidance from clinical educators.
