Description

Further study in childhood language disorders, focusing on the assessment and treatment of school-aged children with language impairment.

Description / Whakamahuki

The goal of this course is to extend the proficiency of students in developmental language disorders by building on the knowledge gained in SPSC221 and SPSC222. This course extends prior learning in two key ways: 1) focuses on the nature of language difficulties in older children and how that impacts on social and academic outcomes; and 2) requires synthesis of previously learned concepts through application to an older population and educational context. This course introduces students to factors uniquely relevant to the New Zealand educational context, including cultural considerations in assessment and intervention, bilingual educational settings and relevant legislation and government initiatives.
