This Unit II problem-based learning tutorial course will further develop students’ fundamental knowledge and skills and provide an overview of roles and contexts relevant to speech-language pathology practice in diverse settings and across the lifespan. Students will explore professional roles of speech-language pathologists, including service provider, manager, team member, advocate, educator, business owner or employer, and clinical researcher. Settings that will be explored include hospital, clinic, rehabilitation or treatment centre, home, school, and community. These roles and settings will be explored to help expand students’ understanding of the scope of speech-language pathology and to provide practice contexts for building foundational knowledge and skills. Within the context of professional roles and practice settings, students also will be introduced to two major practice areas: (1) Principles of Assessment and (2) Models of Service Delivery.
