From September 14 to 26, Ilia State University's Communication, Language, and Speech Therapy Master's Program, in collaboration with the Child Development Institute, will host Dr. Susan Johnston, a professor and speech-language therapist from the University of Utah.

  • a. Conducting research to identify barriers to supporting individuals with extensive support needs who use, or may benefit from, augmentative and alternative communication.
  • b. Engaging with faculty at ISU to further develop and refine their supervision model to support their pre-service students.
  • c. Utilizing case-based learning with students at ISU to enhance their understanding of how to support individuals with complex communication needs.
