Overview: The 1/2 day workshop will be a mix of theory and practical activities. The Introduction to Supported Conversation for Adults With Aphasia or SCA is designed to help people who “know more than they can say” express their opinions and feelings in a way that makes them feel valued & heard.
Through the program’s techniques, conversation partners such as family members, health care providers, or friends, can help break down the communication barrier and help people with aphasia re-join life’s conversations.
The goals of Supported Conversation for Adults With Aphasia are to:
- Acknowledge the competence of the adult with aphasia.
- Help the adult with aphasia to reveal his or her competence.
Target Audience: Conversation partners for adults with aphasia such as health care providers, family members, or friends. Workshop is limited to 30 participants.
