Clinical professor Kim Caul, M.S., CCC-SLP, CBIS, presented at the Wisconsin Speech Language Hearing Association (WSHA) Fall Schools Conference last week, giving an advocacy update as a member of ASHA’s Committee of Ambassadors. Kim detailed professional advocacy issues relevant to speech-language pathologists including licensing and certification and provided resources and tools for SLPs.
Kim’s clinical interests include the areas of neurogenic communication disorders resulting from acquired brain injury (stroke/TBI), AAC, adolescents with developmental disorders, social communication disorders and behavior management. In the UWSHC, Kim primarily sees clients with cognitive-communicative disorders, aphasia, and motor speech disorders secondary to stroke and TBI; however, also works with young adults with intellectual disability on functional living goals. Kim runs multiple aphasia group therapies, and collaborates with the DPT Department to implement a pro bono neurorehabilitative clinic. She also offers Concussion Services to university students and the community. Kim serves as medical site coordinator and teaches the Intro to Medical Speech Language Pathology course at the graduate level
Way to go, Kim!
