All The Tools You Need To Create an Action Plan for Your Community!

This hands-on, live online 3-DAY SUMMIT (via Zoom) will address the interprofessional movement within various communities where Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists are joining forces with those working directly with athletes who are at risk of or have a history of post-concussion speech, language, hearing, and cognitive-communication disorders.

Our task force guides individuals, interprofessional teams and community collectives through the process of devising an action plan for either their employment setting, community or both.

By the end of this summit you will be prepared to become a Head to Speech Ambassador and challenged to Advocate for the Profession, Simulate Experiences, Face the Challenges, Fill in the Gaps, and Evaluate the Process.

 

KEYNOTE & MAIN STAGE SPEAKERS

The Head to Speech Interprofessional Task Force will discuss the theories and strategies behind developing, implementing and monitoring interprofessional education and collaborative practices in sports concussion management from a speech-language pathologist and audiologist perspective.

 

PANEL DISCUSSIONS & BREAKOUT SESSIONS

Our panelists will focus on answering questions centered around this year's theme: Where Does Education & Collaboration Begin? You will participate in breakout sessions using guided thought questions to help you complete your summit workbook and reflect on what type of support your community needs for each step within the framework.
