Here are key takeaways from a newly-certified Lingraphica specialist as she reflects on how best to serve people with Aphasia using AAC devices.
During the Aphasia Access Leadership Summit in Baltimore in March 2019, Lingraphica had the chance to catch up with Amy Georgeadis, MS, CCC-SLP of the Stroke Comeback Center (SCC). The Stroke Comeback Center, headquartered in Vienna, VA, is a community of survivors of stroke and other brain trauma committed to living successful and productive lives. Read on to learn what’s new at the center since we last talked with them.
In April of 2018, Lingraphica announced a new program for speech-language pathologists seeking advanced training and knowledge on all of Lingraphica’s technologies: The Lingraphica Certification Program.
One of Lingraphica’s new online courses offers Spanish-speakers an opportunity to learn about our devices, apps, and software options. We are excited to announce that we now offer our introductory CE course, eligible for 0.1 ASHA CEUs, in Spanish: Uso de Dispositivos de Comunicacion Aumentativa y Alterna (CAA), Aplicaciones y Terapia de Lingraphica (Using Lingraphica AAC Devices, Apps and Therapy)!
Two members of the Lingraphica staff presented at the Assistive Technology Industry Association (ATIA) 2019 Conference that was held January 30 - February 2, 2019 in Orlando, FL. Read on for a recap of the conference.
Perhaps you've seen invitations to attend or host a Lingraphica in-service. Maybe you thought the topic sounded interesting, but the timing wasn't quite right, or maybe you didn't know what to expect. Well, we've created a short video to take the guesswork out of your decision.
Lingraphica is shipping up to Boston for this year's ASHA convention! For all speech-language pathologists planning on attending the convention from November 15-17, make sure to stop by Booth #515 to meet members of our Clinical Consultant team, demo our AAC devices, and pick up some free goodies!
Earlier this year, Lingraphica launched a new program for Speech-Language Pathology professionals: the Lingraphica Certification Program (LCP). Find out what our first members to complete the program say about it.
June is aphasia awareness month, and Lingraphica is proud to be working with Aphasia Access to help provide a great opportunity for members of healthcare and rehab teams to network, learn, share, and act on “Maximizing Communication Access for People with Aphasia: An Interprofessional Approach Across Settings.”
Did you know nearly half of the 800,000 people diagnosed with aphasia annually will never fully recover functional communication? In a recent whitepaper, Aphasia Access estimates that as many as 2.5 million Americans currently live with aphasia. This is a staggering number of individuals struggling with daily communication and based on other variables — fatigue, comorbidity, and stress — are susceptible to frequent communication breakdowns. As speech-language pathologists (SLPs), our job is to assist with daily communication by arming individuals with tools that will help them augment or replace verbal speech.
