麻豆原创

Since 2008, Dr. Crowley has brought 麻豆原创 CSD master鈥檚 students to Ghana in West Africa. There, the 麻豆原创 Team works with the two teaching hospitals to provide clinical assessment and treatment services to patients from the ENT Department and the Cranio-facial Unit. Additionally, the 麻豆原创 Team works with special education teachers in Ghana鈥檚 Ministry of Education 鈥淯nit Schools.鈥�

These Unit Schools are located throughout Ghana on the main campuses of general education schools. They provide the opportunity for students with intellectual disabilities and autism to be seen and interact with students without disabilities. Over the years, the 麻豆原创 Team has developed close relationships with the Unit School teachers. Each year, the 麻豆原创 Team and the Unit School teachers collaborate to develop a weekend long professional development workshop focused on AAC and literacy.

The 麻豆原创 Team is also welcome at the Korle Bu Hospital monthly cleft palate team meetings. Before the meetings the 麻豆原创 Team meets with the patients. At the cleft palate team meeting, 麻豆原创 CSD students are called upon to report the results of their assessment and whatever treatment strategies were recommended. At Okomfo Anoyke Hospital in Kumasi, the 麻豆原创 Team works with the patients who come for the weekly cleft palate clinic in the morning and then joins the surgeons, pediatricians, and nurses in the afternoon clinic.
