Speech Pathology Practice 5 unit (CXA768)

Introduction

Speech Pathology Practice 5 consolidates your core knowledge, integration and application of concepts and skills developed across the course. You will integrate and apply your understanding and skills in practical activities and as you work in supervised practice in either a paediatric, adult or mixed practice context. Throughout these activities you will focus on person and family-centredness, biopsychosocial models of practice, clinical reasoning, self-reflection, critical thinking, cultural responsiveness, and evidence-based practice. You will develop a range of communication and swallowing assessment and management skills across the lifespan with both individuals and communities. During practice education you will receive decreasing levels of support and guidance from your Practice Educator and/or peers and will independently manage speech pathology client or community needs, unless they are new or have a number of elements of complexity.
