EDBSP2026 Language Development and Impairment
This course explores language development and impairment across the life span. For many children, receptive and expressive language capabilities develop in early childhood but for other children, the delayed development of speech, language and communication can have long lasting impacts on behaviour, academic performance, and social life. The course will examine specific speech disorders in children, acquired communication disorders in children and adults, and cognitive communication disorders across the lifespan. Theories of language development, developmental benchmarks and communicative milestones will be applied to the examination of case studies.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2025 student contribution amount: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
