REVIEWS:

This is a very useful course for SLPs working with patients with SCI. It provides both a general overview of the impact of SCI on the body and the specifics of the work SLPs do with this population. The information about breathing/voicing techniques for Pt's weaning from the vent was particularly helpful. - K.M.

  1. Create highly relevant and realistic goals for SCI patients
  2. Become more comfortable looking at medical records and piecing together what might be contributing to your SCI patients’ barriers
  3. Confidently work alongside other SCI professionals for holistic care and improved advocacy.
