Clinician Empowerment Program Module 2

Overview of Course


Communication is a fundamental human right.

In a world where communication is often taken for granted, individuals with complex communication needs (CCN) can feel isolated and disconnected from their communities. That's why the concept of total communication is so powerful. By using multiple modalities, we can help these individuals better connect with those around them. This course is designed to provide you with the tools necessary to support total communication, whether that means using sign language, gestures, or augmentative and alternative communication devices. With our help, we can work to improve inclusivity and make the world a more connected place. So let's come together and embrace total communication, one conversation at a time.
