You are invited to the Virtual Clinical Services Regionals which is being held February 15-17, 2022! This event originated in the 2008-2009 school year and was called the Speech-Language Regionals. It provided an opportunity to provide additional training to the Speech-Language Educational Assistants that assisted the Speech-Language Pathologists to deliver speech and language services to the First Nations Schools in Manitoba. Over the years, the regionals have evolved to include other clinical disciplines that provide services to the schools. Since expanding the services, we have expanded the training provided during regionals – which is reflected in the name being changed to Clinical Services Regionals. We usually host the regional for the northern communities in November of each year and for the southern communities it is usually held in February. Because of the Covid 19 pandemic, the Clinical Regionals have been held virtually.
This year the theme is Continued Learning and Wellness with a focus on Mental Health/Social-Emotional Well-being which will include classroom strategies. You will hear presentations from Speech-Language Pathologists, the Educational Audiology team, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Student Support Facilitators, School Psychologists, Teachers of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, one of our ASL Instructor/Support Worker, and one of our URIS nurses. Elders Bill and Gertie Ballantyne are also joining us throughout the three-day event. To register, follow this link OR click on the attached document if you wish to fax your registration in.
**Please note that if you attended the Clinical Services Regionals in November, you do not need to attend this one as the presentations will be the same.
