Unit description
This unit continues to build knowledge, skills, and competencies from SPHL832, enabling students to apply them during speech pathology clinical practice. Students will attend placements and engage in clinical service delivery. Students will also engage in case discussions with clients, families and relevant professionals, and further develop advanced communication skills. Placements will provide learning experiences with a range of child and adult communication and swallowing disorders. Students will attend on campus classes that support their experiential learning.

Weighting: 50%
This is a hurdle assessment task (see assessment policy for more information on hurdle assessment tasks)
Students will complete a 13 day clinical placement—one day per week for 13 weeks—in either a paediatric or an adult setting. Students will gain hands-on clinical experience with speech pathology caseloads. They will be required to actively participate in clinical assessment and intervention, whilst adopting an ethical and professional attitude towards clinical practice. Students will be assessed using the COMPASS competency-based assessment tool and are required to submit all placement paperwork by Week 14:
• WHS Checklist (by the close of day 3 of placement) • Learning Agreement • Reflective Statement • Hours and Range of Experience • Clinical Placement Feedback Form
On successful completion you will be able to:
- Students will demonstrate above Intermediate Level Behaviours on COMPASS across: (i) all Professional Competencies (i.e., Reasoning, Communication, Learning, Professionalism); and (ii) CBOS (2011) competences 1 - 7 (i.e., Assessment; Analysis and interpretation; Planning evidence-based speech pathology practices; Implementation of speech pathology practice; Planning, providing, and managing speech pathology services; Professional and supervisory practice; Lifelong learning and reflective practice).

Students will orally present a clinical case from their SPHL833 placement. The clinical case will focus on speech pathology intervention, and be presented to two MSLP staff members. Students will give details about their clinical management of the case, critically review their own management, and discuss the case and their management with the examiners. Students will then address management of a hypothetical case, and self-evaluate their learning during the SPHL833 placement, and the MSLP so far. Student performance will be evaluated using a detailed rubric.
Students are required to upload their VIVA case presentation one-page summary onto the iLearn submission portal by 5pm on Wednesday of Week 13.
