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.
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.
