Speech pathology students need to be global citizens, able to work internationally with awareness, sensitivity and competence in cultural awareness, safety and intercultural communication. Many of their future child and adult clients will have culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Topics introduced to students in this course will enable students to consider how speech pathology practice is changed when working with diversity associated with language, culture, gender, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status (SES) and/or place of living, be that in urban, suburban, regional, rural or remote locations. Students will explore ways to learn about and value diversity and adapt profession-specific assessment and intervention practices for diverse populations relevant to speech pathology practice in Australia.
