Learning unit contents
"Specialists in orthophony/speech therapy treat problems involving language and communication. (...). In order to be called competent in all the most basic aspects of this specialisation, the orthophonist must really be a master of local language and possess a high level of expertise regarding the most complex and technical aspects of treatment of linguistic problems, knowledge of the complexity of this field and its procedures, which in some respects go above and beyond that which is expected of other professionals."
