CEU Courses for SLPs

This is Part 4 of a four-part series. This course describes intervention strategies for adults with acquired physical disabilities - especially those with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - who use augmentative/alternative communication (AAC) devices. Intervention is discussed in terms of matching strategies to specific client characteristics and intervention stages of the disease.

This is Part 1 of a four-part series. This course describes best practices for completing speech sound disorder evaluations at the preschool level. It will discuss how to analyze case histories to identify risk factors, and synthesize results of connected speech samples, standardized speech assessments, and diadochokinesis measures in order to differentially diagnose speech sound disorders.

This course discusses the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 requirements for determining eligibility for services, as contrasted with clinical identification of a communication disorder. It addresses the disproportionate identification of certain racial-ethnic groups as eligible for special education, as well as recent recommendations from the U.S. Department of Education regarding students with long-term Covid.

This is Part 3 of a four-part series. This course focuses on ways to ensure that adults with acquired physical impairments are able to physically access and use their speech generating devices. Strategies such as adaptations to direct selection, switch scanning, head tracking, and eye gaze are discussed, along with how to match physical access method to client characteristics.

This is Part 2 of a four-part series. This course focuses on selecting optimal treatment targets for pediatric speech sound disorders. It discusses dynamic stimulability assessment, selection of complex targets and linguistic contexts in order to target multiple phonological processes, and goal writing. Video clips and case studies are presented.

Children with communication disorders may spend less than 1% of their waking hours in actual speech-language therapy, so every moment of therapy matters. This course discusses concepts of frequency, intensity and dosage, and presents a variety of easy-to-implement strategies and activities for maximizing therapy responses in order to expedite student progress.

This is Part 2 of a four-part series. This course focuses on assessment strategies for adults with acquired physical impairments, specifically those with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Assessment areas and specific tools for each area are discussed, along with how to use assessment results to match features of speech-generating devices (SGDs) to an individual's needs.

This is Part 3 of a four-part series. Children with speech sound disorders are at a greater risk for language, literacy, executive function, and behavioral challenges. This course demonstrates a step-by-step process to create multi-faceted activities, including goal-directed movement activities, that efficiently treat the whole child in order to optimize progress in therapy.

This course reviews the bloodborne pathogens standard as published by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). It discusses what clinicians need to know in their place of employment, including employer compliance requirements for protection and appropriate infection control and documentation practices.

This course focuses on the relationship between feeding and oro-myofunctional skills, from both a diagnostic and treatment perspective. Evaluation components and treatment strategies for a variety of different types of pediatric feeding disorders (PFDs) are addressed.
