Decision Making in Adult Dysphagia
Option(s):
eWorkshop
CEUs:
0.3
It is easy for clinicians in busy medical environments to evaluate swallowing one time, and from one perspective. Patients with multidimensional problems require more than one approach to assessment, and usually more than one profession. But inter- and intraprofessional agreement on swallow physiology and management can be a daunting challenge.
Dysfluency and Down Syndrome
Option(s):
eWorkshop
CEUs:
0.1
Many SLPs who work with people who have fluency disorders are unsure of how to apply their knowledge to clients with Down syndrome, and many SLPs who work with clients with Down syndrome or other learning disorders are insecure about how to address their clients' fluency problems.
Early Intervention Guidelines for Contemporary SLP Practice
Option(s):
Individual Registration
CEUs:
0.6
Speech-language pathologists play a critical role in the delivery of team-based, early intervention services to children from birth to age 3. Explore practices that lead to quality services in early interventions provided by SLPs—service delivery models, the role of the SLP, and family-centered intervention strategies.
Early Stuttering Intervention With the Lidcombe Program
Option(s):
eWorkshop
CEUs:
0.1
In this session, you'll learn about the Lidcombe Program, an intervention strategy to help preschoolers who stutter. The program is delivered by the parent and guided by the clinician, who holds weekly meetings with the parent and child.
Essential Supervisory Skills for Clinical Educators
Option(s):
eWorkshop
CEUs:
0.3
Professionals involved with the preceptorship and supervision of graduate students in audiology and speech-language pathology require practical skills for providing effective clinical education. This web workshop presents models of supervision, communication, assessment, and feedback and how they are applied in Communication Science and Disorder settings.

Evaluating and Treating Children Who Exhibit Concomitant Stuttering and Speech Sound Disorders
Option(s):
eWorkshop
CEUs:
0.1
Children (age 3–12) who stutter appear to be at a higher risk of exhibiting speech sound disorders, including disorders of articulation and phonology. The presence of a second communication disorder (particularly a speech sound difficulty) has significant consequences for both evaluating and treating these children.
Functional Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Approaches for Severe Aphasia: An Introduction
Option(s):
eWorkshop
CEUs:
0.1
This program introduces participants to the AAC/aphasia classification system (Garrett & Lasker, 2005) by illustrating six categories of communicators with aphasia. Within each category, presenters demonstrate specific AAC strategies that can improve communication effectiveness for each type of communicator. Emphasis is given to simple partner-dependent AAC strategies that optimize communication in daily situations, such as Augmented Input and the Written Choice Conversation Strategy. The presenters also offer guidance about how to create and implement simple low-technology, and limited scope high-technology, message systems for people with aphasia, with a focus on techniques that can be accomplished with limited technology.
