Community work project in Gazankulu: a community-based training experience.
Speech Pathology and Audiology students at the University of the Witwatersrand participated in a field trip to learn about rural community work. In collaboration with rehabilitation workers at Tintswalo Hospital, Gazankulu, projects in pre-school language stimulation, aphasia assessment and intervention, and hearing screening were undertaken. Projects adhered to community work principles. These were successful in terms of both providing a service to the community and teaching students principles and practice of community work.
