Learning unit contents

The purpose of the various activities comprising this course is to help students develop their professional project.
This is the second course in the 'Professional Development of the Speech & Language Therapist' programme present throughout the bachelor's degree. Unlike the course in the first year of the bachelor's degree, the profession is considered, in the 'Positioning' section, through the competences of the speech & language therapist. Regardless of the area in which the speech & language therapist is working, all speech & language therapists master common competences: prevention, assessment, therapy, professional relationship, expertise. These five competences are dealt with in class through several learning activities.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

This course supports students through the various learning activities, helping them to understand the five competences of the speech & language therapist as defined in ULiège's competency framework. The following facets are studied in more detail:
1) Identifying prevention mechanisms; 2) Identifying the stages of an assessment procedure and the professional attitudes adopted; 3) Collecting simple anamnestic information; 4) Identifying the stages of a care procedure and the professional attitudes to be adopted; 5) Identifying the principles of the profession's code of ethics; 6) Identifying the functions and usefulness of research for the practice of speech & language therapy; 7) Identifying relevant information sources
