Student Speak Out November 2021

to do these courses, it’s something I would highly recommend. It helps you stand out in the workforce and if you have a true passion in a certain area such as feeding, voice, stuttering, etc., the courses can be fun. “The Learning Hub also has some great programs regarding COVID-19 and its impact on speech pathology. These programs are developed by leading academics, researchers, and clinicians and are helpful for students to reduce anxiety when beginning practice as a new graduate. Telepractice was another area that gave me anxiety as it can add another level of complexity into practice. The resources on the Learning Hub allowed me to find tips and tricks to conducting sessions and how teletherapy can be a good resource to use. “As I will be graduating at the end of the year, I have begun exploring other resources in the Learning Hub associated with ethics, NDIS and professional support. “No matter what stage of the speech pathology journey you are at, whether its first year or your last, the Learning Hub is a useful tool for everyone. I would highly recommend every student at least explore the Hub; you may never know what you might find.” All members can access Association’s Learning Hub via the SPA website. www.speechpathologyaustralia.org.au > Professional Education > Learning Hub .
