October Workshop: Unique Speech-Language Therapy

WONDERFUL WEBSITES WITH PRACTICAL THERAPY TIPS

This hands-on course is designed to meet the needs of speech-language pathologists serving school-age children and adolescents with various communication difficulties by providing them with original and exciting ways to motivate and teach students. Creative ideas will be shared on how to put new spins on traditional speech-language therapy by introducing various websites that can be used as fun and functional digital therapy materials. Participants will be involved in discussions related to skills and foundational knowledge.

Dr. Erik X. Raj holds a Certificate of Clinical Competence from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and is a practicing speech-language pathologist who works with school-age children and adolescents with various communication difficulties.

In addition to developing over 25 mobile apps for children with communication difficulties, he is the creator of Your Face Learning, an educational app for the iPhone and iPad that was named Creative Child Magazine’s 2019 Children’s App of the Year.
