Students will analyse the impact of communication and swallowing disorders on a persons quality of life. Learning will be guided by the World Health Organization (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework (ICF).

They will gain skills at structured observation, structured interview techniques, questionnaire administration, and interpretation of results. They will also learn to integrate, interpret and report background information for individuals and groups of people with a range of impairments including Indigenous Australians and other cultural groups.

Students undertake an activity in collaboration or consultation with an industry partner but do not spend any time or only a very small amount of time (e.g. 1-2 short visits) in an actual workplace.
Students will discover the relevance of unit information through active problem solving and situated learning. Active participation in lectures, tutorials and laboratories will be critical to student learning success. Students will work in pairs or small groups to analyse cases and produce both written and orally delivered reports. Students undertake a learning experience project to gain experience in collecting patient and family narratives of living with disability in order to develop a deeper understanding of quality of life in the context of disability. They will have the opportunity to hear a range of guest speakers who live with a disability, or who care for someone with a disability.
