Boot Camp
The Department of Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) faculty, Raquel Garcia, SLP.D, CCC-SLP, and Tambi Braun, SLP.D., CCC-SLP, joined with the Joe DiMaggio Craniofacial Team, Kristen Deluca Diaz, M.S., CCC-SLP, and Diana Acevedo, M.S., CCC-SLP, to lecture and train other speech language pathologists at a one-day event for patients and families from the Cleft and Craniofacial Center held at Memorial Regional Hospital Conference Center, Hollywood, Florida, on July 22, 2023. The NSU SLP graduate student clinicians and alumni also volunteered and assisted at the speech therapy boot camp.
Speech-language pathologists from across Florida were trained in anatomy and physiology of cleft palate and resonance disorders, and assessment and treatment of compensatory articulation.
All participants are looking forward to future hands-on trainings.
