In this unit students will study the normal structure, function and innervation of the sensorimotor systems underlying human communication. Students will learn to use acoustic analysis and other instruments to assess communication disorders in clients from a diverse range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Assessment results will be analysed and reports will be produced within the context of the current literature and the World Health Organization (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework (ICF) framework. Issues regarding safety and care while conducting assessment procedures will be discussed.
Students must have passed SCH1134 or MHS1101, SCH1143 or MHS1102 and SPE1100
Students must be enrolled in course version Y02

Students experience an environment where they observe and/or participate in the application of theoretical knowledge and skills in a professional setting, under the supervision of an expert or professional in the field. Examples include study tours, observation, shadowing, fieldwork, industry tours.
The on-campus seminars are highly interactive and are used to introduce the central concepts of the unit and to guide students through the literature. Students participate in learning activities involving group discussion, case studies, role-play scenarios and online learning materials to consolidate their learning. Compulsory participation for some workshops and clinical performance tasks are required in order for students to develop clinical competencies in assessment of clients with sensorimotor communication disorders. Students conduct a voice assessment on an individual and are assessed on their clinical performance.
