Description:
SLPs face
the challenge of developing plans of care to address the evolving needs of
individuals with aphasia while incorporating research evidence and balancing
health care service delivery constraints. This webinar will use case studies to
model the use of a clinical decision-making framework and then allow you to
practice progressively applying the framework to patient examples.
