Course description
This course will develop professional and clinical competencies in the diagnosis and treatment of developmental language delays and disorders in children aged 0 to 5 years. By completion of the course students will gain: knowledge of typical language development; skills in differential diagnosis between typical language development and language delay/disorders; be able to identify a range of assessment procedures; and have knowledge of appropriate interventions for young children with language delays/disorders. In addition, this course provides graduate entry masters students with the opportunity to engage in team work to effectively communicate information about formal test construction.
