This program addresses the assessment of narrative development in elementary school children (ages 5–12), reviewing an informal scoring system for narratives and a new standardized test, The Test of Narrative Language. Then presenters discuss a new approach to improving narrative ability in children with language impairments or learning disabilities, using wordless picture books and structured materials to focus on specific narrative language targets that affect the comprehension and use of literate language.
Major changes in how speech-language pathology codes are valued occurred during the past year. The impact of those changes is addressed in this program, which reviews diagnostic and procedural coding systems. Explore such issues as which procedure codes can be used with which diagnostic codes; whether certain diagnostic codes are covered at all, and why; how procedure codes relate to fees paid; when you can (and cannot) negotiate rates; and more.
Despite SLPs’ best efforts to read broadly across related disciplines, each profession has unique intra-disciplinary dialogue, terminology, and current “hot button” issues. This program provides a summary of the field of early childhood special education (ECSE), with a particular focus on inclusion of preschool-aged children in community-based early childhood programs.
Millions are exposed to loud music as musicians or listeners. Learn how audiologists are promoting hearing health among school-age children, explore today’s risks for noise-induced hearing loss, and assess the limitations of hearing conservation strategies.
As preschool and school-age children increase the diversity of sounds and sound sequences they produce, speech-language pathologists play a crucial role in the process. Explore specific aspects of speech sound development in children aged 3–8 that impact the role of the SLP.
Children with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and their families face serious challenges that stem from cognitive-communicative problems affecting classroom learning, behavior, and community participation. Learn how to adapt the curriculum, based on recognition of underlying processes that lead to certain behaviors, in order to maximize the performance of children with TBI aged 5–18.
The 3:1 service delivery model for school-based SLPs calls for three weeks of direct intervention followed by one week of indirect services. Developed to help SLPs better manage their workloads while enhancing services to students, the 3:1 model supports SLPs in implementing curriculum-based therapy and encourages interaction with teachers and parents about students' needs. School districts using the model report increased job satisfaction and staff retention. This program describes how the model works, reviews data on its effectiveness, and offers practical steps toward implementation.
The preschool years represent a critical period during which young children (ages 3–5) develop a broad array of foundational emergent literacy skills. Deepen your understanding of the developmental precursors to fluent reading and writing that children develop before formal reading instruction begins.

This updated Bilingual Laminated Diagram of the Ear/Hearing Aids is a must-have for every audiologist. The two-sided 8.5” x 11” card is especially useful when counseling patients.
The appropriate evaluation of English Language Learning (ELL) students who have potential language-learning difficulties is a dilemma faced by more and more speech-language pathologists. This program demonstrates practical techniques used to differentiate between language difference and disorder in ELL children aged 5–18.
The population of bilingual children in the United States continues to grow. The assessment and treatment of phonological disorders in bilingual children, especially Spanish-English bilinguals, is often difficult given the lack of information on bilingual phonological development and best practices related to clinical management. The purpose of this seminar is to provide information on Spanish and English phonology, bilingual phonological development in Spanish-English speaking children, and current approaches for least-biased assessment and intervention.
This video describes and demonstrates intervention strategies found to be successful in facilitating the acquisition of spoken language by children with cochlear implants. Viewers are taken systematically through the steps of the auditory skills hierarchy to demonstrate the development of auditory skills. Video clips of language-based activities illustrate how auditory tasks are designed and presented. Children ranging in age from toddler to adolescent provide an opportunity to see the varying stages of auditory development. Additionally, the mapping process and the role of the speech and hearing clinicians in providing valuable information to the cochlear implant centers is reviewed.
Congenital cytomegalovirus infection is thought to be responsible for up to 20% of all pediatric hearing loss. This audio self-study reviews current knowledge and ongoing research regarding the demographics of infection, screening for the virus, and characteristics of different types of infection and associated hearing loss.
