This subject supports the development of foundation knowledge and skills for competent
speech pathology practice in working with clients with voice disorders and clients
across the lifespan who present with complex communication needs as a consequence
of atypical cognitive, sensorimotor and/or anatomical development. These practice
areas will be explored using a strengths-based approach within the broader context
of the International Classification of Functioning (ICF) and/or International Classification
of Functioning - Children and Youth (ICF-CY). Approaches to speech pathology assessment
and intervention will be critically evaluated with reference to current theories,
frameworks, and principles of evidence-based practice.
Learning Outcomes
- evaluate the presentation of clients with complex communication needs with reference
to the ICF and/or ICF-CY;
- apply clinical reasoning to the planning and evaluation of speech pathology interventions

- evaluate the presentation of clients with voice differences or disorders including
consideration of physiological, perceptual, acoustic and psychosocial aspects;
- apply clinical reasoning to the planning and evaluation of speech pathology interventions
for people with voice differences and disorders with reference to the ICF and/or ICF-CY.
