Course aim

Develop foundational knowledge of the structural, physiological and cognitive influences on the development and control of speech and apply evidence based principles to speech pathology assessment and management of adult speech disorders.

Course content

Students will develop foundation knowledge of the anatomy, structure and function of the brain and nervous system as relevant to Speech Pathology. They will critically evaluate the evidence base to plan assessment and intervention for adult speech disorders. Simulated learning will be adopted to ensure students are prepared to work with clients with a motor speech disorder in clinical settings.
