HEASP3025 Acquired Language and Speech Impairment 2
The unit builds on previously learnt skills. Students will be introduced to advanced issues in the description, assessment, differential diagnosis, and treatment of acquired speech and language disorders in adults; particularly, aphasia and dysarthria. Students will explore relevant speech pathology assessment and intervention, and critically evaluate the research evidence supporting their use. There will be an extension of the management strategies for aphasia specifically when alternative and augmentative communication is involved and in cases of bilingualism or multilingualism. Students will utilise evidence-based practice frameworks, including the ICF (International Classification of Disability, Functioning and Health), to support person-centered intervention planning.
