The overall goal of the course is to produce students capable of assessing and differentially diagnosing cases of paediatric and adult MSDs and, furthermore, be capable of using this information to establish goals for intervention and develop appropriate, evidence-based intervention programmes.
This course equips students with an understanding of the theoretical constructs underlying motor speech disorders (MSDs), along with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide holistic, evidence-based and culturally safe assessment and intervention for clients with MSDs across the age spectrum. Through exploration and critical appraisal of current research and best practices, students will learn to plan their assessment approach, co-develop meaningful goals, and construct management plans in collaboration with clients/whānau (as well as ongoing evaluation of treatment outcomes) in children and adults.
