In this subject, you will explore knowledge and skills from the process of understanding and resolving case-based problems illustrating the structural and functional components of communication and swallowing. Across the semester small teams will be presented with authentic speech pathology cases that will provide the trigger for learning about the principles and practices of clinical reasoning and professional practice in the discipline. The case-based learning approach will be supported by specialist lectures, practical workshops and integrated online learning activities that focus on the process of describing and evaluating communication and swallowing.
Capstones provide students with a way of integrating and applying knowledge and skills gained throughout their course.
