Wednesday Webinars 2012

Our Webinar Series is Set to kick off in January 2012!

Gain valuable knowledge to serve Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Populations

6% of Speech-Language Pathologists are bilingual (ASHA, 2002) while over 20% of households in the United States speak a language other than English.   Understanding culture and the interaction between two languages increases the effectiveness of the services you provide.

Monolingual and Bilingual Clinicians Alike:

Our Webinar Wednesday Brown Bag meetings are designed to make you a clinician who is competent and comfortable serving a culturally and linguistically diverse population.  We also make it fit into your busy schedule.  We meet Wednesdays at noon (Central Time) for one hour.

Bring your lunch and bring your questions!
