Working with Māori Adults with Acquired Communication Disorders

$200.00

This course consists of TWO modules. You must complete each module in sequence before moving on to the next.
In presenting this online professional development module about working with Māori whānau with stroke, we acknowledge the good work that is already being done in this area. We encourage all SLTs to reflect on what we are doing well and what we could do better. All SLTs are somewhere along the journey towards providing high-quality services for Māori whānau, with some people further along than others. We are all doing some things well, and we can all make improvements in some areas.

By the end of this course, you should be able to: - understand the New Zealand context, the implications of te Tiriti o Waitangi and the position of Māori as tangata whenua. - discuss and critique the culture of speech-language therapy and identify power in the position of the SLT. to build solid, ongoing relationships with Māori Health colleagues. - build excellent relationships with Māori patients and whānau. - have a deeper understanding of patient and whānau experiences and the SLT role in these.
A completion certificate will be available to download and print at the end of these modules.

The combined two-module course takes approximately two hours
