This unit (HHB6001) begins a sequence of units exploring speech pathology practices related to intervention. This unit will focus on exploring foundational principles, methods and rationales for different approaches to intervention applicable 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. 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.
