This unit (HHB6003) builds on Speech Pathology Intervention Practices 1 and 2 by exploring a range of indirect, consultancy, and advocacy-based speech pathology interventions across the speech pathology range of practice in working with clients across the lifespan and from diverse backgrounds including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures. This unit will continue to explore issues and methods related to measurement of efficacy and effectiveness of interventions in an increasingly holistic context. Students will engage with content via inquiry, case-based, simulation and reflective learning activities with reference to practice areas and professional engagement. Intervention practices will also be considered in the broader professional, regulatory, ethical and legal contexts in which speech pathology practice occurs.
