Getting older is not easy – on us, or on our partners!  We’ve asked Judi to come back with TWO sessions this semester to give us all a little more time to absorb her wealth of knowledge.  

Session 1: Judi will provide us with information on how typical aging and hearing loss affects receptive and expressive communication.  She will share ideas that support and enhance communication skills for both patients with challenges, as well as their loved ones and caregivers.

Session 2: Judi will follow up on Dr. Broussard’s September 20th course based on the perspective of a stroke survivor with more information on how neurological challenges like stroke, aphasia, and dysarthria can also impact our communication skills.  Again in this session, she will share ideas that support and enhance communication skills for both patients with challenges, as well as their loved ones and caregivers. 

Feedback from Judi’s past course:

“Excellent. Learned a lot. Consider expanding time or sessions.”

“The speaker had a well-planned presentation.”

“This was a great presentation that many of us should take again.  Needs two sessions instead of just one.”
