Speech Pathology Practice 2 CXA726
Introduction
Speech Pathology Practice 2 extends students’ core knowledge and application of concepts and skills developed in Stage 1 and concurrently in Optimising Communication and Swallowing 1. Students will integrate and apply their understanding and skills in workshops in the residential schools and as they work in supervised practice in either a paediatric, adult or mixed practice context. Throughout the learning activities and the practice education placement, students will focus on person and family-centredness, biopsychosocial models of practice, clinical reasoning, self-reflection, critical thinking, cultural responsiveness, and evidence-based practice. Students will develop a range of communication and swallowing assessment and management skills across the lifespan. During practice education experiences, students in Stage 2 will receive significant levels of support and guidance from their Practice Educator and/or peers and will be managing relatively straightforward speech pathology client or community needs.
