CSCD5072: Clinical Practice 4 - Adult

2025 unit information

Students attend adult focused speech pathology placement experiences using a range of person-centred, service level and advocacy interventions, and complete other tasks to further develop and consolidate their skills in areas required for readiness for practice as a speech pathologist. Students develop personal learning goals and use critical reflection to improve their speech pathology practice, cultural responsiveness, as well as transfer of knowledge and skills across environments. They also engage in reciprocal learning with colleagues from other professions and the wider community.
