Summary module description:
This module presents students with the evidence-base needed to assess, diagnose and manage disorders of speech, language and communication in children.听 The main developmental disorders associated with speech, language and communication in children are covered. Students will learn how to apply the evidence-base to children with speech, language and communication using case-based materials.
Aims:
The module aims to provide students with knowledge and understanding of the evidence-base relating to disorders of speech, language and communication in children.
Assessable learning outcomes:
By the end of the module students will be able to:
- Describe the core features of speech, language, communication and swallowing disorders in children;
- Apply knowledge of phonetics, linguistics, psychology, medical sciences to assess speech, language, communication disorders in children;
- Appraise the evidence-base for management of speech, language, communication and swallowing disorders in children;
- Solve clinical problems relating to assessment, differential diagnosis, management and treatment of speech, language, communication and swallowing disorders in children, applying the relevant evidence-base;
- Use a holistic, client-centred approach to assessment, differential diagnosis, management and treatment.
- Provide clear and well-justified conclusions, based on accurately reported evidence and communicated in appropriate technical language for a professional audience.

The course will be assessed by two case-based, seen-paper, take-home class tests. Each class test is worth 50% of the module mark.
Formative assessment methods:
During group work in class, students will be solving clinical problems relating to case materials which are similar to those in the class test.听 The group work provides opportunities for students to recieve feedback from the lecturer and their peers on their evidence-based clinical reasoning which will be assessed in the summative assessment for the module.
