By Abby Williams, M.A., CCC/SLP, Graduating class of 2006
I graduated with my M.A. in August of 2006 and did my Clinical Fellow in a CCRC in Boca Raton, FL. Since I was a CF until now, I have only worked in the geriatric space and love the variety this profession has offered. I have worked in a Skilled Nursing Setting, Outpatient, Home Health, Long Term Acute Care and have had several roles over the years including staff therapist, CF Mentor, Director of Rehab, Clinical Specialist, Corporate Clinical Roles and now I am the Director of Strategic Integration at Mansbach Health Tools, home of the BCAT®. The BCAT® offers a variety of tools and resources including assessment and treatment interventions for older adults with cognitive impairments. My job is to help the strategic integration of the BCAT® with our organizational partners and help ensure sustainability of the utilization of the BCAT®. My background in Speech-Language Pathology and knowledge about cognition and cognitive rehab allows me to customize our tools and resources for rehab clinicians that work with older adults.
