Last month’s Professional Training Institute attracted a record number of attendees from Canada, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand and Italy.  Participants learned the fundamentals of Supported Conversation for Adults with Aphasia (SCA ) and how to apply these techniques  to a variety of clinical settings.  The trainees included the field of  Speech Language Pathology, Social Work, Nursing, Occupational Therapy,  and Psychology.  Here’s what they had to say …

“All healthcare professionals in various settings should make taking this course a priority. The content is relative to our time and population demographic.” – RPN

“Thank you so much for a wonderful week of training!  It was full of knowledge sharing, hands on practice and inspiring words and speakers. I am so excited to take back everything I’ve learned.” – SLP

“As a new graduate, I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to have this training. I cannot imagine practicing for years without such foundational skills.” – SLP

“This has given me an easy and fantastic model for SCA to take to my workplace.” Thank you!” - Beth Barbieri, SLP,  USA

“The quality of the content is very high, specialized and very professional oriented. The training structure made it possible to experience the  actual application of the principles.” – Adelina Brizio,  Ph.D Candidate, Psychology, Italy
