Speaker: Susan Owens
Target Audience: Any school staff, especially those working with students with communication disorders.
Description: The Communication Matrix, developed by Dr. Charity Rowland, is an assessment tool designed to pinpoint exactly how an individual is communicating and to provide a framework for determining logical communication goals. It was designed primarily for speech-language pathologists and educators to use to document the expressive communication skills of children who have severe or multiple disabilities, including children with sensory, motor and cognitive impairments. Participants will learn how to use the online Communication Matrix to increase student communication success.
