Rochester Institute of Technology’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf (RIT/NTID) and Continued are partnering on professional development courses for audiologists and speech-language pathologists.
The courses will be facilitated by members of RIT/NTID’S Communication Studies and Services Department and will be available in live and on-demand formats on AudiologyOnline or SpeechPathology.com.
