This course provides a systematic, outcomes-driven framework for accent management, guiding SLPs through the clinical continuum from initial screening to successful discharge. Using the Comprehensive Adult Accent Inventory (CAAI), participants will master an industry-leading approach grounded in 25 years of evidence-based, culturally responsive practice. Designed for all professional levels, this session bridges the gap between scientific benchmarks and practical application for educators and private practitioners alike.
This course is Part 2 of a series, but can also be taken as a stand-alone learning experience. Part 1: Culturally-Responsive Accent Management: Beyond Controversy (Course 10570)
