Video
Course: #10522Level: Advanced4 Hours
Aging in place is the goal of most elders, but it may require a great deal of support. The impact of normal aging on various systems and the differences between frail and well elders are described in this course. Information and interventions are discussed that allow interprofessional team members to support functional mobility, nutrition and hydration, and health management in their geriatric clients, in order to promote successful aging.

Swallowing Function: Differentiating Typical Variations from Pathological Impairment
Presented by Kendrea L. (Focht) Garand, PhD, CScD, CCC-SLP, BCS-S, CBIS, CCRE
Video
Course: #10475Level: Advanced2 Hours
Motor variability refers to the natural variation that occurs in repeated task movements. Evidence for this task variability in swallowing, and how it can be influenced by age-related changes (presbyphagia), are described in this course. Discussion includes ways to improve diagnostic accuracy by using this information to differentiate typical variation from true impairment in swallowing performance.

Bullying Among Older Adults: Not Just a Playground Problem
Presented by Kathleen Weissberg, OTD, OTR/L
Video
Course: #10473Level: Introductory1 Hour
A discussion of bullying in adult living communities and day centers, including definitions, characteristics, incidence, and causes, is presented in this course. The different types of bullies and their typical targets, as well as the impact of bullying on older adults, are described.

An overview of cognitive/communicative deficits associated with MCI, as well as assessment and management considerations, is also provided.

Connecting Swallowing, Cognition, and Dignity: An Essential Clinical Pathway for Dysphagia in Persons with Dementia
Presented by Michelle Tristani, MS, CCC-SLP, CDP, PAC Trainer
Video
Course: #10460Level: Intermediate1.5 Hours
A comprehensive, systematic clinical pathway to effectively assess and manage dysphagia in persons with dementia is described in this course. Common eating challenges and contraindications of enteral feeding for those with advanced stage dementia are addressed. Environmental modifications, swallow strategies and adaptive equipment that can enhance the safety and experience of oral intake are also discussed.

Spaced Retrieval Training Basics: Think Fast!
Presented by Megan L. Malone, MA, CCC-SLP
Video
Course: #10311Level: Introductory0.5 Hours
An overview of Spaced Retrieval Training (SRT), an evidence-based technique that can assist in the recall and retention of information, is described in this Fast Class, and the evidence supporting it is reviewed. Demonstrations of how to screen potential patients, set goals, and implement SRT are provided.

Lewy Body Dementia: The Role Of The PT, OT, and SLP In Person-Centered Care

Video
Course: #10308Level: Advanced4.5 Hours
Master skills to implement in your practice immediately with continued Master Class. The complex symptomatology of Lewy body dementias (Parkinson’s disease dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies) along with evaluation and intervention approaches for PTs, OTs, and SLPs are examined in this Master Class. Case studies emphasize opportunities and approaches for interprofessional collaboration to provide comprehensive, person-centered care.

Supporting Feeding in Patients with Impaired Cognition
Presented by Amanda Stead, PhD, CCC-SLP
Video
Course: #10301Level: Introductory1 Hour
Patients who are losing weight or demonstrating behaviors that decrease oral intake are at high risk for adverse events, especially in the geriatric population. The impact of impaired cognition on feeding, and strategies to assess and treat patients who are struggling at mealtimes, are described in this course.

Sarcopenia, Frailty, and Dysphagia
Presented by Angela Mansolillo, MA, CCC-SLP, BCS-S

Course: #10113Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Interactions between frailty, sarcopenia, and an aging swallow can result in significant swallowing difficulties in geriatric clients. This course discusses the relationships between swallowing, frailty, and aging, as well as additional contributing factors, and describes interventions to manage and possibly prevent sarcopenic dysphagia.
