Training Session on Technology in Speech Therapy

The CommuniCATE team held a training session on using Skype in Speech and Language Therapy on Wednesday 21st September 2016. It was attended by 25 Speech and Language Therapists, volunteers, Occupational Therapists and Rehabilitation Support Workers. They had a conversation with a person with aphasia over Skype using an iPad, learnt how to make group calls, send photos and share screens on Skype and heard about case studies from the CommuniCATE project. Feedback was extremely positive with attendees commenting that the training was “inspiring” and had given them lots of ideas about how to integrate Skype into their practice.
