Course Description

This seminar trains clinicians in the use of the oral expressive based writing program developed by the presenter and employed here at the Annandale Fluency Clinic. The maximum number of participants is 12. During the hands-on portion (which is the majority of the time) you will be working with a small group. We will rotate groups for each exercise, to ensure you are getting different kinds of responses and varying response styles. The seminars are intended for speech-language pathologists and LD/resource teachers. Only working professionals will be accepted.
