Handbook

In this subject, students develop competence in speech pathology assessment of voice, swallowing, speech and fluency. Students critique theory, empirical research and holistic frameworks to plan and justify assessment across paediatric and adult populations. A key focus of this subject is the development of skills in the collection, analysis and interpretation of assessment data using both standardised and non-standardised procedures. Students critique the holistic context to evaluate and justify the appropriateness of assessment planning, procedures and interpretation. Clinical reasoning and communication skills are developed through communicating assessment outcomes with a range of specialist and non-specialist audiences.
