Between hearing loss, mobility and health issues, getting older is not easy – on us, or on our partners! By popular demand, instructor Judith Cornette is returning to the Chesapeake Forum with an expanded two-session version of her valuable course, “Aging with Healthy Communication Skills”, starting September 19th.
In the first session, find out how typical aging and hearing loss effects receptive and expressive communication. The instructor will share ideas that support and enhance communication skills for both patients with challenges, as well as their loved ones and caregivers.
The following week, learn how neurological challenges like stroke, aphasia, and dysarthria can affect receptive and expressive communication skills. This is an excellent followup to Chesapeake Forum’s Stroke & Aphasia Recovery” on Sept. 20th. Again in this session, the instructor will share ideas that support and enhance communication skills for both patients with challenges, as well as their loved ones and caregivers.
Judith Cornette has worked as a Speech & Language Pathologist (SLP) specializing in the treatment of communication differences with typical and non-typical neuro-developmental children and adults for the past 49 years. Her passion is improving and supporting life-long communication skills.
“Aging with Healthy Communication Skills” is a two-session HYBRID course (in-person at the Easton YMCA, ZOOM or Recording), Monday, September 19 and 26 from 1-2:30 P.M., $25.
