HEASP5024 Clinical Processes in Speech Pathology B
In this unit, students will consolidate and extend learning through the use of case studies. With the support of lectures and workshops, students will develop a deep understanding of assessment, analysis, interpretation, planning, and implementation of intervention of various speech pathology related conditions. 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. This unit introduces students to the broad concepts surrounding demographic characteristics of the Australian population: Location, age, ethnicity, gender, Socio-economic status and education. Factors that impact on the health status of the population and how these factors are measured, the structure of the Australian health care system. Inquiry-based learning is a student-centred learning approach that promotes self-directed independent and interdependent lifelong learning. Students will have the opportunity to work through a vast range of practice areas in both developmental and acquired conditions. Students will be required to draw on their various knowledge bases, critically evaluate, integrate, and reason in order to provide evidence based, client centred assessment and intervention. The case studies will provide a platform for reflection, discussion, problem solving and decision making. During this course students will also have the opportunity to discuss how to evaluate the effectiveness of their interventions/strategies as well as highlight potential areas for further research to be developed.
