SPTH2210 Speech Pathology in Education and Community Settings 1 (10 Units)

SPTH2210 will not be offered after 2010. Students enrolled in the program at this time (i.e. 2009) will be advised of this change, in order to identify any students whose planned sequence of enrolment might need adjustment. Students who have not successfully completed SPTH2210 in 2010 will be able to undertake SPTH2001 instead. No transitional problems are envisaged, as the content coverage is sufficiently similar.
