Webinar Description
The lack of a universal system to describe or specify speech pathology treatment creates a barrier to providing cost-effective, patient-centered care that optimizes outcomes. This webinar will focus on the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System (RTSS), a theory-based framework that addresses the need for a common system to specify rehabilitation interventions. Speech language pathologists will consider how to apply RTSS to their practice to help them articulate their clinical reasoning processes in ways that benefit treatment process, communicate with team members, and translate research findings to clinical care.
