About this Event
Strive Health Services is excited to offer a FREE CEU event for Local Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs).
As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, it’s essential to stay up-to-date with the latest research on treatment for stuttering and fluency disorders. Join us for this informative session, where you’ll learn cutting-edge treatment strategies, best practices for documentation, and how to ensure compliance with funding sources.
Please share with colleagues and RSVP by October 18, 2024. While ASHA CEUs will be available for SLPs, professionals from other disciplines who work with individuals with fluency disorders are also encouraged to attend.
Parent and SLP Perspective: "I didn’t realize how much the research had changed. As both a speech-language pathologist and the mother of a person who stutters, I had always relied on traditional methods I learned in graduate school, but they led to frustration for my daughter. Thankfully, a colleague recommended the Arthur M. Blank Center for Stuttering. During their weeklong summer camp, my daughter found love, care, and support. Through the Blank Center's CARE Model™, she gained confidence and empowerment. I am forever grateful for their work."
