This unit introduces students to the principles underlying intervention in speech pathology. It covers the issues that underpin effective intervention across the different domains of the World Health Organisation (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework (ICF). We consider psychosocial issues encountered by individuals with communication and swallowing disorders, and their families, across a variety of contexts. This unit will enable students to explore generic treatment issues of relevance for both paediatric and adult caseloads including collaborative goal-setting; client/family-centred frameworks; treatment hierarchies; counselling; teamwork; interprofessional practice and outcome measurement.
