Welcome to the Lingraphica Student Certification Program! We’re glad you’re here. This program has been created especially for graduate students to prepare you for working with Lingraphica’s technologies in your clinical placements and careers. By completing this program, you’ll gain knowledge and confidence in our technologies and their clinical implementation. Not only that, you’ll also be joining the Lingraphica community with the opportunity to network with practicing SLPs. Plus, it can be a nice addition to a résumé.
Ready to get started?
Step 1
If you haven’t had a live webinar presented to your class, get started by watching this webinar and device demo. If you have previously attended a live Lingraphica webinar that was presented to your university class this semester, you can skip to step 2.
Step 2
Observe a Virtual Connections session.
- Visit virtualconnections.com and click “Login” in the upper right corner. Log in using your Lingraphica account information, or make an account by clicking “create an account now!”.
- Once you have logged in, you will be able to view all upcoming sessions on Virtual Connections. Click the session you are interested in attending.
- On the session page, click the gold “Enroll as Student” button, then confirm enrollment. This will enroll you in the session and you will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link included.
- When it is time to observe the session, you can either join via the Zoom link that has been emailed to you, or through the My Sessions page on virtualconnections.com. Please arrive on time so as not to disrupt the session once it has started.
VERY IMPORTANT: Change your Zoom name to say “Observer – Your Name”. Keep your camera off and microphone muted.
Step 4
Complete a 30 minute device customization demo with one of our Clinical Educators. Links are below to register for a session. Please note that if you would like us to send a demo device for you to use during the demo (optional), you will need to schedule a demo at least 2 weeks in advance. Please email program coordinator, Beth McHose, at bmchose@lingraphica.com to request a device. Include your name, date of demo, and an address for shipping*.
(*Devices must be signed for upon delivery)
Tuesdays at 10:00 a.m. ET
Wednesdays at 12:00 p.m. ET
Thursdays at 5 p.m. ET
Step 5
Wrapping everything up. We will be sending out your Certificate of Completion. From here, you can attend & participate in optional Clinical Rounds sessions:
• Clinical Rounds are informal, optional Zoom sessions where practicing SLPs come together to discuss their experiences with Lingraphica technologies, talk about clinical scenarios, and more. Sessions are held at varying times throughout each month. You will receive the invitation after you’ve completed the online coursework.
• Please complete the program survey to give us your feedback (link will be sent upon completion of all required program elements).
Keep in touch! As you approach graduation and start your career, we want to hear from you. By completing the student certification program, you’re on the fast track to becoming a Lingraphica Certified Technology Specialist with just one additional step: completing a new device demo. Lingraphica Certified Technology Specialists are eligible to keep a Lingraphica AAC device on hand at all times.
