<p>This is the second of six professional experience practice (PEP) units in the Bachelor of Speech Pathology (Hons) course that introduces students to the speech pathology professional practice through learning activities, including exposure to practising clinicians and guest lecturers from a range of practice settings. It presents the foundational speech pathology practice skills in a range of practice areas and settings that speech pathologists work within to provide evidence-based, safe person-centered, family-centered and community-centered practice including specific vulnerable populations.</p>
<p>Students will be introduced to the professional experience practice component of the unit, the practice requirements and the Professional Standards of Practice for Speech Pathologists in Australia (2020) with the key principles underlying these professional standards domains.
