The Communication Sciences and Disorders Department (CSD) at Biola University is proud to present its second annual continuing education course, “Trauma-Informed Speech Therapy.” This course is designed to equip practicing SLPs to provide trauma-informed therapy for their clients. Three hours of continuing education will be provided.

Learning Outcomes

This Continuing Education Course will be led by:
- Yvana Uranga-Hernandez, Ph.D. CCC-SLP Yvana Uranga-Hernandez teaches both undergraduate and graduate programs on multicultural issues, language disorders, autism, and theology of disability. She strives to have her students see children with disabilities as people first, understanding that we are all made in the image of God and thereby deserve the same respect and love. Uranga-Hernandez’s teaching approach includes both theoretical education as well as a practical hands on approach in order to assist students in making connections between the two. She also strives to teach and love her students well so that they leave Biola and do the same.
- Alicia McCormick, MA Alicia McCormick’s areas of interest include trauma-informed practices and education, inclusive education and ministry, and disability theology. She is currently working on a Ph.D. in Educational Studies through Talbot School of Theology at Biola University and spends her time practicing what she teaches as an emergency foster mom with the county.
