Clinical component: Students will develop clinical skills and apply knowledge in clinical
settings. Students will participate in clinical education placements in which they
will work with supervision and guidance of clinical educators. Students will have
the opportunity to observe and work directly with clients with a range of impairments,
activity limitations and participation restrictions related to speech, language, voice,
fluency and swallowing. Students will be involved with assessment, planning and delivery
of services for individual cases, as well as providing community education. A range
of settings, both in the internal clinic and external facilities will be used to ensure
that students develop clinical competence with a variety of clients and in differing
clinical contexts. Honours project component: Students will execute the research project
planned in the previous semester by collecting research data under supervision. Analysis
of the data will commence. They will also prepare a draft description of the final
research methodology, and submit a project progress report.
