If you want to become a speech and language therapist but are uncertain about how to get into the right programme and what is required to succeed in your studies, then this book is for you. This comprehensive handbook guides readers through every stage of the journey: from confirming your career choice to successfully gaining a university place, preparing for study, and ultimately achieving your degree.
Packed with practical hints, study tips and examples, this book will help you adjust to university study and succeed in your degree while developing your professional identity. Each chapter includes views from former and current students alongside reflective activities that help you transition from information-seeker to student and ultimately to newly qualified speech and language therapist. The book emphasises that becoming a registered speech and language therapist involves a profound transformation shaped by values, ethics, conduct, and reflection, requiring resilience and deep commitment to professional responsibilities. Find out how to:
· Prepare your application;
· Approach the start of your studies;
· Pass assessments;
· Get the most out of your placements;
· Learn efficiently; demonstrate competence in practice-based learning; and
· Gain maximum professional development.
The author weaves together academic success, placement readiness, and professional identity through case studies, practical tips, and activities that extend learning.
This is the essential 'go-to' book for all speech and language therapy students, whether taking an undergraduate, postgraduate or apprenticeship route, written by an author with forty years of experience as a clinician, NHS leader, and university lecturer.
