ASHA Learning Pass

This course – which is broken into six 5-minute blocks – guides SLPs through the process of creating personalized visual supports to promote meaningful participation in daily conversations and life activities for individuals living with dementia. Presenter Becky Khayum provides examples of different types of communication, memory, and sequencing aids that can be produced quickly using simple technology. She then walks you through a step-by-step template for creating these types of supports for your own clients with dementia, including giving you time to practice and reflect.

Learning Outcomes
You will be able to:

• create personalized visual memory and communication aids for clients during treatment sessions
• educate and train family members and/or care providers on how to appropriately cue use of visual memory and communication aids
