SLP Volunteer for Disability CommunityAt — Ability Now Bay Area
Volunteering for Ability Now will give students the rare opportunity to work with the disability community to understand – and learn – the communication obstacles many individuals face on a day-to-day basis. Participants from Ability Now will give real-time feedback and direction on what they would like to achieve as well as guide the student through the communication roadblocks they face each day. This, in turn, will give students an opportunity to think creatively and on their feet to address the multiple and diverse communication issues our participants face.

Working with individuals across the spectrum of disabilities will teach the students how to work with this community. Students will have the opportunity to learn to be creative in how they help individuals with disabilities use their communication devices more effectively and/or learn the tools to slow down the process of losing speech capabilities.
Students will be overseen by the onsite Program Counselors, who can guide the student on the background of each participant they will be working with.
