SPCH13003 Neurogenic Communication Disorders

Course details

This course introduces students to the aetiology, nature, course, prognosis, mechanisms, management and social and behavioural impact of a variety of neurogenic communication disorders. The theories and techniques associated with assessments and treatments specific to the disorders of sensorimotor integration, cognition and language will be introduced. Students must have an understanding of the conditions that cause neurogenic communication disorders and be able to determine the nature and extent of the communication disorder through clinical and instrumentation-based diagnosis and analysis. The course will also introduce the design and implementation of appropriate treatment regimes in a range of settings, across a culturally diverse population and explore management of such conditions in the context of the World Health Organisation (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework.
