Infos

The methods by which a student becomes a speech and language
therapist have developed since the 1970s and have been influenced
by different models of higher and professional education. Although
it is comparatively easy to change an aspect of course content, for
example to increase the number of learning hours on autism, the
means by which the student learns to become a competent
professional in practice are more complex.

This text discusses some of the exciting ways we are examining
issues in professional education. It covers actual content (for
example the introduction of dysphagia to the curriculum), new
methods for learning (problem-based learning and information
technology developments), how speech and language therapists
develop competence and what is critical in the transition to
becoming a qualified therapist. The longstanding placement problem
is addressed by innovative work using different professional
learning models, such as peer placements and school-based
placements. The reader is provided with detailed practical advice
about how to approach these models.

The book represents some of the current work in universities and
speech and language services in the UK and reveals the creativity
and commitment to an expanding subject area.
