It dealt an area of treatment that is so important and one that is often completely overlooked. It confirmed what I have always felt to be such an important part of my practice. One that can make a huge difference in a patient's outcome.

very good information and important in application
Review by: Member on December 12, 2012
It addressed a grossly under-addressed part of the therapeutic process. I find many SLPs who are too focused on stimulus/response therapy to discover that they are actually working with human beings in difficult situations.

accuracy
Review by: Member on November 23, 2012
This was an interesting course and a necessary one. As SLPs, sometines we are too focused on test scores and being the expert in the therapeutic relationship. Being more considerate of the needs of the client AND caregiver is so improtant when we look at outcomes.
Review by: Member on November 18, 2012
The presentation gave great examples of why taking the time for counseling was an integral part of the therapeutic process and how it is a great asset for the family.
