CEU Courses for SLPs

An overview of various types of artificial airways is presented in this course. The process for carrying out speaking trials with speaking valves and/or trach caps, and strategies for managing potential emergencies, are discussed.

This is Part 2 of a two-part series. Evidence from the literature that supports incorporation of patient and care partner needs and priorities into clinical goal setting and functional therapeutic interventions for individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) is discussed in this course. Case studies are presented to demonstrate the application of these patient-centered practices.

The Comprehensive Assessment of Articulation and Intelligibility (CAAI), a research-based, data-driven approach to accent management, and its use in screening, assessment, goal setting, and progress monitoring are described in this course. The need for cultural responsiveness, bias awareness and adherence to principles of anti-racist communication when providing these services is also discussed.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series. Transdisciplinary models of care for individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) are described in this course. The importance of including individuals with TBI and their care partners in therapeutic decision-making is discussed, and research related to holistic practices, mental health supports and return-to-life services for clients/care partners is presented. (Part 2: Course 10572)

An overview of motor learning principles relevant to speech sound disorders, including principles related to structuring practice conditions and feedback, is provided in this course. Evidence from the literature is presented, and specific ways to incorporate these principles into both acquisition and retention phases of intervention are described.

Needs and challenges of students with traumatic brain injury (TBI) related to the return-to-learn process and long-term management are described in this course. SLPs' role in the TBI interdisciplinary team, and their ability to provide support for this population by capitalizing on the skills and techniques they already use in daily clinical practice, are also discussed.

Interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) for children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) and co-occurring motor coordination difficulties is explored in this course. A case-based approach is used to highlight the clinical significance of IPCP in effectively treating the speech, language, and motor impairments typically observed in this population.

Determining when to discharge a patient from dysphagia therapy is challenging. Clinician-driven and patient-driven factors to consider when determining if it is time to discontinue therapy are discussed in this course, and evidence related to timelines for swallowing improvement is presented.

This is Part 1 of a two-part course. Categorization of users of augmentative/alternative communication (AAC) to determine an appropriate path for intervention is discussed in this course. Three communicator categories and a tool to assist in determining an AAC communicator's profile based on prognostic indicators and linguistic skills are described.

This is Part 1 in a three-part series on private practice. This course discusses important considerations and provides tools and resources to help SLPs determine if private practice is right for them. Private practice options and methods for setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound) goals to kickstart business ideas are also described. (Part 2: 10646)
