About the Summit
The third Aphasia Access Leadership Summit will be hosted by SCALE @ The League Aphasia Center and held on the campus of Loyola University in Baltimore, MD, March 7– 9, 2019, gathering professionals who help people with aphasia navigate life. Attendees are people who are charged with making environments more communication accessible, running hospital-, community- and university-based programs for people with aphasia, creating innovative products, teaching the next generation, and working on research.
Through the summit theme, Bridging Service Gaps through Aphasia Care Collaborations, attendees are invited to explore the diverse programs, actions, and resources used to support communication access for those affected by aphasia. We look forward to lively discussions about aphasia programming, intervention, reimbursement, training, education, and research. Several keynote speakers and panelists will be sharing their knowledge and innovations on Bridging Service Gaps through Aphasia Care Collaborations.
After completing this course, participants will be able to describe:
- Ways to implement group therapy to address participation goals for people with aphasia.
- Methods to enhance student learning related to participation of people with aphasia
- Techniques for providing interprofessional services that include and enhance the participation of people with aphasia.
- Opportunities for enhancing life participation approach to aphasia-based research.
- Multicultural issues relevant to implementing life participation approaches to aphasia.
