2500893 Speech therapy | OB | 2 | A |
There are no official prerequisites. It is recommended to pass the subject Anatomy and Physiology of the Nervous System.
The syllabus studies the main functional brain systems and the consequences of their disorganization due to injuries or diseases of the central nervous system, in order to prepare students for the systematic study of language pathology (aphasiology) caused by these injuries and also introduce them into the specific rehabilitation techniques of the corresponding disorders. Other subjects of the Degree deepens into specific aspects of the rehabilitation of speech, language and swallowing disturbances: Dysphagia and related disorders (101712), Neurodegenerative diseases and dementias (101711), Technological innovation applied (101694), Practicum III (101696).
At the end of the course the student must be able to:

Methodology
The course will consist of a theoretical module and a practical module with clinical case sessions and computerized sessions with self-learning materials. Training activities with an approximate number of hours of dedication and corresponding learning outcomes are those that are specified.
N.B. The proposed teaching and assessment methodologies may experience some modifications as a result of the restrictions on face-to-face learning imposed by the health authorities. The teaching staff will use the Moodle classroom or the usual communication channel to specify whether the different directed and assessment activities are to be carried out on site or online, as instructed by the Faculty.

Evaluation
Continued evaluation
It involves carrying out theoretical-practical assessments throughout the semester and presenting reports on the practical classes.
Theoretical exam I and the theoretical exam II correspond to partial evaluations type test to evaluate the contents worked in each semester. The student who does not pass any of these evidences will have to recover the part or the corresponding parts.
The oral presentation corresponds to a group presentation of a part of the content of the subject.
Final score
The final score will be obtained from the average among all the evidences of learning. Evidence of learning cannot be averaged if it is not higher than 4. The subject is passed with a minimum score of 5.
In order to be evaluated, the student must pass the practical classes. Attendance at practical classes must be at least 80%. Students who do NOT comply with any of these premises will NOT pass the subject.
Students who have NOT submitted evidence of learning with a weight of at least 40% will be considered NOT assessable. If a recovery is necessary, the student must repeat the suspended learning evidence with a grade lower than 4, as long as it has been previously evaluated in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total score of the subject.
