Summary
You know those awkward moments where you can’t hear what someone is saying in a loud environment, so you just nod and agree to whatever they say?
…hoping it makes sense to just nod and agree?
As a medical SLP, odds are, you’ve worked with patients who have done this to you.
Not because you’re providing therapy in a loud environment, but because they have receptive aphasia, or impaired auditory comprehension.
While impaired speech and language is easy to pick up on, auditory comprehension is a whole different ballpark…
Which is why we’re bring on our beloved aphasia & auditory comprehension MedSLP Collective mentor, Brett McCardel!
Brett drops dozens of golden knowledge nuggets with us as he shares things like…
What impaired auditory comprehension can look like (it really varies!)
How auditory comprehension impacts quality of life
The two ways we can classify auditory comprehension
Assessment tools
Treatment considerations
And so much more!!
If you serve people with aphasia at all, you won’t want to miss this episode!
And if you want to dig EVEN DEEPER into your aphasia assessment and treatment skills, you might be interested in this month’s themed mission inside of the MedSLP Collective! We’re dedicating every resource, checklist, in-service, and webinar this month to aphasia - including aphasia in sign language!
