This subject will bring together knowledge of students about speech pathology practice, and apply this beyond the direct clinical encounter. Students will be supported to understand and design interventions that build capacity in communities, to support people with communication and swallowing disorders. They will learn about models of working that incorporate people and groups beyond the immediate client- for example, with families, other professionals, and other services. Diversity and cultural safety will be a large focus in this subject, and students will engage with self and peer reflection around the development of their own practice in this area. In particular, students will be supported to identify Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and to understand their role in providing culturally secure and responsive speech pathology services that take into account different ways of knowing, being and doing.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students will be able to:
- Design and evaluate appropriate speech pathology interventions for diverse communities, including working with carers, families and broader communities, working collaboratively with other professions, and working via distance (telehealth);
- Reflect on their own knowledge, values, and experiences to identify personal learning goals relating to the development of cultural responsiveness, and strategies for achieving those goals;
- Integrate knowledge of Indigenous Australian cultures, histories and contemporary contexts in relation to speech pathology practice and service provision.
Generic skills
- an ability to evaluate and synthesise information in a flexible manner
- a capacity to articulate their knowledge in both oral and written formats
- an ability to provide others with clear and useful feedback
- ability to access, evaluate, understand and utilise relevant online services
