CSCD5070: Professional Practice 3
2026 unit information
Students attend external and simulated speech pathology services, across the lifespan and a range of person-centred, service level, and advocacy interventions, to consolidate their skills in areas required for competency as an intermediate level speech pathology student. Students develop personal learning goals and use critical reflection to improve their speech pathology practice, cultural responsiveness, and transfer of knowledge and skills across environments. They also begin engaging in reciprocal learning with colleagues from other professions and the wider community.
