DESCRIPTION 
This is a one and a half day workshop for rehabilitation professionals
that builds on interprofessional education initiatives, and describes
recent research and best practices to explore rehabilitation in the
context of HIV. People living with HIV are living longer, and may be
living with impairments, activity limitations and participation
restrictions due to HIV and/or its associated treatments.  As a result,
rehabilitation professionals have an increasingly important role to play
in HIV care, treatment and support. This course will enhance and
increase the capacity of rehabilitation professionals to respond to the
rehabilitation needs of people living with HIV. The course will use
interprofessional and case-based learning principles through
presentation and interactive discussion and will be facilitated by
persons living with HIV and rehabilitation professionals.

Association of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists (CASLPA)
