We’re thrilled to announce that the TOR-BSST© Screener Training is now available as an eLearning Program through Northern Speech Services:
This program offers an online alternative to the standard live, in-person, SLP-led course. As with the live SLP-led training, the eLearning program still requires learners to demonstrate competency in the presence of a TOR-BSST© trained SLP, as a final step before certification as TOR-BSST© screeners.
Note: The eLearning program must be purchased by a TOR-BSST© trained SLP or hospital administrator/manager, and facilitated under the direction of a TOR-BSST© trained SLP. Learners access the program using unique enrolment codes provided by the SLP or administrator. After successfully completing the eLearning course, learners are reminded to complete the live one-on-one observation with the SLP to be deemed competent.
Now, SLP Dysphagia Experts have the option to launch the TOR-BSST© in one of 2 ways:
- The same program as before, including the SLP live didactic screener training and access to all our resources.
- The new eLearning program, which allows screeners to complete the online course independently, replacing your live didactic training. This option still gives the SLP access to all our TOR-BSST© resources.
