Speech Pathology Practice 3 CXA729
Introduction
Speech Pathology Practice 3 continues to extend students’ core knowledge and application of concepts and skills developed in Stage 1 and 2 and concurrently in Optimising Communication and Swallowing 2 and Therapy Across the Lifespan. 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 3 will receive moderate levels of support and guidance from their Practice Educator and/or peers and will be managing relatively straightforward speech pathology client or community needs.
