Room: IATP 2nd Floor Conference Room
This 2-day course will be presented by Shawn Malcomson, Access Product Specialist for PRC-Saltillo. Our goal for this course is to bring high quality education regarding access considerations to local clinicians. These courses have been taught and refined over many years to ensure the content is relevant, digestible, and applicable.
We ask that the clinicians who attend are somewhat experienced with AAC and already understand the basic operation of the devices. If not, we may ask that they work with the local consultant prior to attending the class. During the lab sections, participants will work in pairs. The class size should not exceed 30 participants.
Your course includes 13 hours of instruction (1.3 ASHA CEUs with a certificate for other credentialing requirements). We will also include a morning and afternoon break as well as a lunch break.

More about Video Grand Rounds: This is an excellent opportunity to crowd source ideas for moving your client’s access forward. Teams are asked to bring videos of their clients for whom they would like input for an access-related issue. We’re going to have 20+ great minds in the room, let’s put them all to work using what we know and what we learn over these 2 days to help someone improve their skills.
We prefer to have attendees pre-registered so registration on the day of the event goes more smoothly.
Participants will need to sign in to the training every day to be eligible for ASHA CEUs and certificates of attendance.
