They must have the ability to recognise, interpret and respond appropriately to behavioural cues. Effective communication, including verbal and non-verbal communication is also fundamental to speech pathology practice and needs to be respectful, clear, attentive, empathetic, honest, and non-judgmental. Strong interpersonal communication skills are needed so that students can undertake speech pathology practice with clients who communicate, eat and drink in different ways. Strong written communication skills are needed so that students have the capacity to construct coherent written communication appropriate to the circumstances such as report writing and client notes. All these skills are needed so that students can continuously develop their speech pathology skills during placements and throughout their careers. Students must also be able to manage personal responses, beliefs, or preferences such that they can work with diverse groups of people who express varied cultural, religious and gender identities.<\/p><p>https:\/\/www.speechpathologyaustralia.org.au\/SPAweb\/Resources_For_Speech_Pathologists\/Professional_Standards\/Professional_Standards\/SPAweb\/Resources_for_Speech_Pathologists\/CBOS\/Professional_Standards.aspx?hkey=583a56af-74e0-4111-95fa-656502269967<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ds-accordion\"> <h4> <button id=\"check-core-participation-req-1\" class=\"ds-accordion__trigger\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"core-participation-req-1\"> <span class=\"ds-accordion__title\">Cognition<\/span> <\/button> <\/h4> <div id=\"core-participation-req-1\" class=\"ds-accordion__content\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"check-core-participation-req-1\"><p><em><strong>Core requirement<\/strong><\/em><br \/><br \/>Students must be able to locate, acquire, retain and apply knowledge as part of their learning and for assessment.

Literacy skills are required to: convey spoken and written messages accurately and effectively in a practice setting; paraphrase, summarise and reference in accordance with appropriate academic conventions in written assignments. Competent application of numeracy skills is also essential in speech pathology to facilitate the safe and effective delivery of care.
