HEASP2012 Speech Pathology Development and Impairment
This unit provides students with the theoretical knowledge to understand paediatric speech development and associated impairments; such as phonological disorders, articulation disorders, motor speech disorders, and structural disorders. This unit will emphasise the client as an individual and the effect that the speech sound disorder can have on an individual's participation in their family, social settings and community. The unit includes normal speech development, assessment, analysis, diagnosis and intervention of children with speech sound disorders within the World Health Organisation's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) conceptual framework and evidence based practice (EBP). Evidence-based speech pathology research and practice are reviewed as to how to identify children at risk of delayed or disordered communication and implementation of appropriate management. This unit provides students with essential knowledge and skills for Speech Pathology clinical unit and practice as a Speech Pathologist.
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.
