HEASP3024 Complex Case Studies in Speech Pathology
In this unit, students will be presented with unfamiliar complex speech pathology cases. Students will contextualise and consolidate content taught in earlier units, but with increased complexity. Students will also have the opportunity to lead aspects of the case study discussion, thus building on their clinical decision making. They need to work both autonomously and collaboratively to reflect on their current knowledge bases, identify and resolve gaps in their learning and in their knowledge about the case, then discuss and seek solutions to any clinical dilemmas. Students will explore assessment, analysis, interpretation, planning, and implementation of intervention of various speech pathology related conditions. Students will be required to draw on their various knowledge bases, evaluate, integrate, and reason in order to provide evidence based, client centred assessment and intervention. Students will also have to consider the social model of health, as well as cultural, moral, ethical, legal, occupational, social/emotional and/or service delivery challenges. Inquirybased learning is a student-centred learning approach that promotes self-directed independent and interdependent lifelong learning. The case studies will provide a platform for reflection, discussion, problem solving and decision making.
