Course Curriculum
Begin by exploring the purpose and importance of speech and language therapy in supporting communication and quality of life. Discover how speech therapists help individuals manage communication, language, and speech-related difficulties across different settings.
Speech involves a complex interaction between the brain, muscles, sound production, and language processing. Explore the scientific foundations behind speech creation, communication patterns, and verbal expression.
Understanding how speech is physically produced is essential in communication studies. Learn about the structures involved in speech production, including the tongue, vocal cords, mouth, respiratory system, and related anatomy.
Language is shaped by sound, meaning, grammar, and communication rules. Examine the linguistic foundations of speech and explore how language structure influences communication and understanding.
Communication skills often develop alongside literacy abilities. Discover how children develop language, reading, and communication skills, and explore factors that may influence learning and language progression.
Communication difficulties can also affect adults due to medical conditions, injury, or neurological changes. Explore common adult speech and language disorders and examine the importance of supportive communication strategies.
In module seven, we will explore the different types of speech and language disorders in adults, taking a look at their causes, impact, diagnosis and treatment.
