Free Advanced Workshops
Workshop Details
The FREE two-day, in-person advanced training workshop is designed for speech-language pathologists across various practice settings including schools, medical, home health, early childhood intervention, and private practice who want to gain advanced knowledge about evidence-based assessment and treatment for CAS. Clinicians are challenged to demonstrate effective clinical decision-making skills through discussion, case studies, and small group activities. All workshops are in-person, due to the content of the workshop and the interactive quality we do not have plans to make them virtual at this time.
