Annual CHRIB Seminar 2013

Posted on August 12, 2013


Course Contents and Target Audience

The annual CHRIB seminar focuses on the clinical practice of early communication intervention within the different South African contexts where audiologists and speech-language therapists work.

Early Communication Intervention is a trans-disciplinary field where audiologists and speech-language therapists not only share roles, but each discipline also contributes uniquely to services directed at families with infants and preschool children with feeding difficulties, hearing loss and disorders, established and emerging communication disorders, or those who are at risk of developing difficulties in these areas. Diagnostic assessments remain discipline-specific, but family-centred intervention requires shared expertise.
