This is an ON-DEMAND COURSE that is accessed virtually using the Academy Learning Portal. You will have three months from the date of registration to complete and review course materials. 

DESCRIPTION
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 online, self-paced course, participants will have an opportunity to view modules on assessment, treatment planning, principles and considerations and goal setting.  Additionally, a peer reviewed article related to treatment planning and considerations will be read by participants. Participants will apply fundamental knowledge to case-based scenarios, calculations of intervention intensities and translate theoretical underpinnings to practical daily application.
