The seven habits of highly effective speech therapists – Dr Robyn Gibson
$25.00
Robyn’s talk will use Linda Worrall’s article ‘The seven habits of highly effective aphasia therapists’ as the basis of exploring what we do as SLTs, why we do it, and how we can look at those seven habits from the perspective of working with those who need SLT services and for ourselves as clinicians. This talk should be relevant to SLTs across all areas of clinical practice
