We spend more time hearing than talking, yet we don't remember the majority of what we hear. This becomes especially relevant as many SLPs and audiologists move to telepractice with clients, telesupervision with clinical fellows, and tele-education with undergraduate and graduate students.

Successful online interactions rely on truly listening to facilitate conversation that will lead to deeper understanding of the material. In this course, learn to truly listen as we explore types of listening and obstacles to listening well in the online classroom or therapy room.

Course is offered for 0.1 ASHA CEUs – 1 Contact Hour.

Course Overview – Run Time: 1:03:13

  1. What kind of EDUCATOR are you?
  2. Listening data.
  3. Obstacles to effective listening… in an online environment.
  4. Ten principles of effective listening.
  5. Reflection.
"I really liked the NURSE statements and I will definitely use this in my daily practice. I liked that this course gave me an opportunity to really reflect on my own communication style."

– W.J., prior course participant
