Prerequisites

Have studied the subject "Neurology of Language"

Objectives and Contextualisation

At the end of the course students must be able to:

Evaluate and diagnose eating disorders and swallowing in all ages and etiologies.

Know how to manage MECV-V and other tests such as EAT10 and the Payne Technique.

Know the anatomical bases involved in rehabilitation processes for swallowing and the remainingpost-surgery with dysphagia.

Know and know how to apply manoeuvres and therapeutic techniques to treat disorders of feeding and swallowing being studied.

Know the specific products for the feeding of patients with dysphagia.

Understand the most common tools and products for both the assessment and the treatment of problems swallowing.

Know how to identify the associated disorders involved in order to make therapeutic decisions. 

Understand the consequences of laryngectomy (partial and total) on swallowing in patients.

Understand the mechanisms of rehabilitation of smell in laryngectomized.

Know the issues of personal care that the speaker needs to know to treat patients with total laryngectomy.

Know the basics to rehabilitate the esophageal, prosthetic and electron speech in total laryngectomy.

Competences

  • Critically evaluate the techniques and instruments of evaluation and diagnosis in speech therapy, as well as its procedures of intervention.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of disorders in communication, language, speech, hearing, voice and non-verbal oral functions.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the limits of competence and be able to identify whether interdisciplinary treatment is required.
  • Explore, evaluate, diagnose and produce a prognosis of development for disorders of communication and language, from a multidisciplinary perspective.
  • Identify, analyze and solve ethical problems in complex situations.
  • Make decisions and take responsibility for them.
  • Understand, integrate and relate new knowledge deriving from autonomous learning.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Assess the usefulness of the main techniques of assessment and diagnosis of speech-therapy disorders of neurological origin and be able to interpret related results.
  2. Describe and explain the theoretical basis of the techniques of rehabilitation for disorders of speech, language and deglutition, of neurological origin.
  3. Describe aspects of the rehabilitation of disorders in speech, language and deglutition that require joint action by professionals from various disciplines (neurologists, physiotherapists, psychologists, etc).
  4. Describe the main techniques in the assessment and diagnosis of disorders in language, speech and deglutition of neurological origin.
  5. Explain the origin and characteristics of language speech and deglutition disorders caused by brain damage.
  6. Identify, analyze and solve ethical problems in complex situations.
  7. Make decisions and take responsibility for them.
  8. Understand, integrate and relate new knowledge deriving from autonomous learning.
  9. Use the most appropriate techniques to diagnose and issue a prognosis for the evolution of language, speech and deglutition disorders of neurological origin.

Methodology

The subject will consist of a theoretical module of each subject and a module in which the student will be trained in the practice of the use of the main evidence of swallowing and its disorders.

Training activities, with approximate hours of dedication and corresponding learning outcomes, are specified below.

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.

4. Examination. Type Written development brief, on all the material covered in the Practical sessions.30% 1 0.04 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9

 

Continous Assessment:

Evidence 1: On-line multiple choice test. Non-eliminating.

Evidence 2: Oral face-to-face examination of eruphophilic voice production.

Evidence 3: On-line multiple choice test. Accumulative of all the subject matter of the theoretical part.

Evidence 4: On-line multiple choice test of the whole subject covered in the practical sessions.

(see assessment guidelines)

 

Assessment Guidelines:

The score obtained in the examination of the subject taught in the practical sessions, will only be computable if all the assigned practical sessions of the course have been attended.

Non Assessable students: those who have not submitted at least 40% of the minimum learning evidence.

Subject passed: pass with a minimum grade 5 (scale 0-10) taking into account the percentage weight of each evidence mentioned above.

Reassessment: 

Students who have not achieved the criteria established to pass the subject and who have been previously assessed on a set of activities whose weight equals a minimum of 66% of the total grade of the subject may choose to take any of the reassessment tests. To be able to take the reassessment tests the student must have obtained a minimum grade of 3.5 out of 10.

 

5. The reassessment will consist of two parts: a multiple choice test and the oral presentation of a practical case.

Distinction:

The maximum achievable grade will be10, although the relative grade and involvement of the student will be taken into account when it comes to awarding possible Distinctions (Matricula d’Honor).
