This module builds upon and extends the knowledge gained from modules HS830 & HS831 to develop the students understanding of the basic principles of speech and language pathology in children.
Knowledge is contextualised within consideration of the impact that the speech and language pathology may have on the child, their family and significant others; as well as other professionals working with them. An emphasis is placed on the application of this knowledge within clinical practice.
Through this module students will develop an understanding of children and young people’s speech, language and communication needs, their impact and how they are managed within SLT with reference to the client’s safety, choice and quality of life.
Students are introduced to the importance of the evidence base underpinning all aspects of speech and language therapy practice.
Students are asked to apply information regarding inter-professional / inter-agency working within an SLT context.
On successful completion of this module, the learner should be able to:
1. Critically evaluate a child / young person’s presenting Speech Language and Communication Needs (SLCNs) - including consideration of the SLCNs aetiology and presenting characteristics.
2. Critically consider the impact of SLCNs on the child / young person and significant others; and its importance to professional practice
3. Critically appraise the role of the child / young person, their family, the SLT and the inter-professional / interagency team in the management of the child / young person’s SLCNs from referral to discharge with reference to the clients safety, choice and quality of life
4. Critically examine evidence based practice in SLT (including current legislation and professional guidance) and its relevance to professional practice
No additional information available.
This module combines the use of lectures, workshops, phonetics and linguistics classes and self-guided study to enable the student to critically appraise and apply their learning throughout delivery, grounding theoretical learning in practice. Students will also have the opportunity to develop clinical skills through their SLT clinical placement.
