Task Description:

In this case study task, you will review a case history and goal setting session between a speech pathologist and a client with a voice complaint. Case history information may be presented in a hybrid of written, audio and video information. You will be given progress notes, assessment results, clinical history and goal setting information. You will analyse and interpret the case data, integrating this with theory and your own independent research to prepare an initial assessment report. Your clinical report will include a differential diagnosis, a plan for further assessment, and intervention options with the aim of optimising voice.

This is a hurdle task. You must pass the written component of the simulation assessment to be eligible for a pass in the unit.
