- Professional growth: Engage in ongoing professional development, expand competencies across diverse clinical presentations, and leverage a network of mentors and peers. This assignment emphasizes skill diversification within the specialty, including augmentative and alternative communication strategies, feeding and swallowing support as appropriate, and evidence-informed practice in dynamic, real-world settings.
