<p>This unit is the third of six professional experience practice unit in the Bachelor of Speech Pathology (Hons) course which develops and contextualises the Professional Standards for Speech Pathologists including professional conduct, reflective practice, life-long learning and practice skills.<br><br>
This unit also provides students with an opportunity to develop and demonstrate competency across the lifespan with a focus on working with adults including assessment, analysis and interpretation, planning, and implementation of person, family and community-centred, evidence-based, culturally safe and responsive services and interventions in professional practice. Specifically, students will explore increasingly complex adult case scenarios, where a higher level of integration and application of knowledge is required. Students will progress towards being more independent in their professional practice knowledge and its application, as well as further developing their identity and competence as a Speech Pathologist. Students will participate in supervised practice education based placement at an intermediate level competency for approximately and not less than 15 days, with flexible support from the university.</p>
