Consider Communication Concepts
Consider Communication has several parts.
- In April 2019, we will hold 5 one-day learning sessions with direct support staff, family members, therapists and others in Pennsylvania. Speech-language pathologists with a passion for people with complex communication needs will lead these learning opportunities.
- Everyone that joined the day-long session, can meet at another time in smaller groups. We will meet in a video chat room and discuss individual needs. We will create a vision, ideas and plan for particular people we support.
- The Consider Communication learning opportunity as 5 core learning objectives. Each concept will be in a module. These modules include:
- Basics of communication,
- Describing how someone can communicate now,
- Encouraging someone to communicate more,
- Expanding the ways someone can communicate,
- Resources and different options available to you and others.
The goal of the content of this learning opportunity is that everyone can access the materials. To review the content of this learning opportunity, check out the Consider Communications online platform here
