APHASIA ASSESSMENT, TREATMENT & CONSIDERATIONS IN GOAL SETTING

Aphasia Assessment, Treatment, and Considerations in Goal Setting

NOTE: This course will expire on 6/30/2023. You will only have until 6/30/2023 to complete all course requirements for credit. 

In recent years, there has been a proliferation of research targeting various aspects of aphasia treatment. These range from studies addressing the development, theoretical underpinnings and efficacy of specific treatments to more general issues such as intensity and dose that impact learning and outcomes. In this self-paced, 5 hour online course, participants will have an opportunity to explore assessment, treatment planning, principles and considerations, and goal setting. Additionally, participants will read a peer reviewed article related to treatment planning and considerations and apply their knowledge to case based scenarios, calculations of intervention intensities. Specific emphasis will be placed on translating theory to practical daily application.
