RiverView Health to offerTeaching Cr i t ical

Comm un i ca t i on Sk i l lsworkshop Oct . 8th

RiverView Health wil l sponsor a free ful l day workshop for parents and

professionals titled Teaching Critical Communication Skills on Oct. 8th in Bede

Ballroom on the University of Minnesota-Crookston campus.

In this exciting workshop, presenter Jill Waegenaer e, M.A., CCC-SLP, will

describe nine critical communication skills required by all communicators,

independent of their communicat ive modal i ty. We dist inguish between

communication that is spontaneous, responsive, or imitative. When people

cannot initiate or otherwise calmly use these skills, many serious behavior

problems are likely to arise. These skills are broadly divided between those

n e e d e d b y speakers (express ive sk i l l s ) versus those needed by

listeners (receptive skills). Participants will learn effective training strategies for

children who speak or sign as well as those using augmentative or alternative

communication systems.

This workshop is a must for anyone working and/or living with people with

complex communication needs. It is an important adjunct to training in Picture

Exchange Communication Systems (PECS), but also stands alone for those who

have not completed PECS training. Parents, caregivers, and professionals alike

will benefit from this day.

The workshop is made possible from funds raised at the 2012 Walk for Autism

sponsored by RiverView Health.

Registration for the day will be held from 7:30 am- 8:00 am. The workshop willbegin at 8:00 am and go until 4:00 pm. Lunch will be on your own from noon to

1:00 pm.

Continuing education certificates will be provided.

A M a t t e r o f B a l a n c e

classes for anyone who has fallen in the past, has restricted activities because of

fal l ing concerns or is worried about fal ls. The classes wil l teach skil ls in

improving balance flexibility and strength.

A Matter of Balance is an award-winning program des igned to manage falls and

increase activity levels. Eight two-hour sessions will be led by certified coaches

During the sessions, participants will learn to view falls as controllable, set goals

for increasing activity, make changes to reduce fall risks at home and exercise to

increase strength and balance. The class is taught by RiverView Physical

Therapist Assistants LueRae Geihsler and Amber Finseth.

The class is free, thanks to continued support from Bob and Carla Roppel,

owners of the Prescription Shoppe in Crookston. The Roppels provided the seed

money to start the program through the RiverView Foundation in 2010. They

continue their commitment to the Foundation and the community by supporting

the program.

Carla and I understand the importance of the teachings of the Matter of Balance

Program, Bob Roppel stated. We are pleased that our financial commitment to

this program will keep our friends and neighbors safe and help reduce and

prevent falls.

According to RiverV iew Foundation Director Kent Bruun, about 100 people have

already been touched by the program to this point.

Bob and Carla have made a commitment to this meaningful program, Bruun

stated. Their continued generosity and concern have made A Matter of Balance a

useful tool for the health and safety of the people of this and surrounding

communities.

The class size is limited, so early registration is stressed. For more information,
