NAT: Interpreting in Speech Pathology
  Thursday 6 August 2020
3.00pm - 5.00pm AEST
REGISTRATIONS CLOSED


Speech pathology is unlike any other interpreting domain. Speech and language assessments can place considerable linguistic and ethical demands on interpreters as speech pathologists are interested not only in what the patients are saying but also how they are saying it. They may ask the interpreter to describe the patient’s speech in order to identify deviations from linguistic norms and diagnose a speech or language impairment (Clark, 1998; Gentile, Ozolins & Vasilikakos, 1996; Clark & Hand, 2007).


This webinar aims to provide interpreters with an overview of adult speech pathology with an emphasis on aphasia diagnosis and treatment as well as interpreting practice challenges and strategies.

Topics include

  • Models of speech pathology practice
  • Aphasia and speech pathology practice at different points in care
  • Assessment objectives at different stages including diagnosis, prognosis and outcome measurement
  • Assessment tasks and how they relate to assessment objectives
  • Interpreter role, challenges and strategies in speech pathology consultations.

Presenter 1

Dr Scott Barnes is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Linguistics at Macquarie University. He is a speech pathologist, and is the Course Director of the Master of Speech and Language Pathology. Scott's research focuses on acquired communication disability, including aphasia, right hemisphere stroke, and traumatic brain injury. With this research, Scott explores communication in the course of everyday life, and related speech pathology assessment, intervention, and measurement practices.

Presenter 2

Dr Peter Roger is the Director of Applied Linguistics at Macquarie University. A medical graduate from the University of Sydney, he received his PhD from the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Sydney in 2003. Drawing upon his dual backgrounds in medicine and linguistics, his research interests lie in the broad area of health communication, with a particular focus on topics relating to linguistic diversity. He researches and publishes in the area of interpreter-mediated speech pathology interactions, and has a keen interest in exploring ways in which research in this area can be applied in clinical settings where speech pathologists and interpreters work together.
