This course challenges participants to think beyond typical speech fluency goals in stuttering treatment and to engage clients in goal setting. It will discuss treatment goals and techniques that are aimed at improving quality of life by increasing clients' autonomy and participation in all aspects of life.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series. Cranial nerves innervate muscles critical to speech and swallowing functions. An overview of the neuroanatomy and physiology of the cranial nerves is provided in this course, with particular attention to those involved in speech and swallowing performance. Common abnormalities observed for patients with cranial nerve dysfunction are also described.

This is Part 5 of the 5-part series, Applying the Science of Reading, Writing, and Oral Language for Students Who Use AAC. This course describes the integration of literacy learning and augmentative/alternative communication (AAC) for a student with complex communication needs (CCN). Case examples, video and data documentation are used to share methods for planning, activities, tools and progress monitoring that are doable as well as grounded in research-based practice.

This is Part 4 of the 5-part series, Applying the Science of Reading, Writing, and Oral Language for Students Who Use AAC. Improving the linguistic foundation of students who use AAC supports the development of strong literacy skills. Key intervention strategies and guidelines for robust language intervention for AAC users are discussed along with examples demonstrating their application to various language skills.

This is Part 3 of the 5-part series, Applying the Science of Reading, Writing, and Oral Language for Students Who Use AAC. The ability to spell opens academic, social, and employment doors for children with complex communication needs (CCN) who use or benefit from augmentative-alternative communication (AAC). This course discusses evidence-based assessment and intervention ideas to help students with CCN who use AAC become “spellers,” and broaden their overall communication skills.

This is Part 2 of the 5-part series, Applying the Science of Reading, Writing, and Oral Language for Students Who Use AAC. Join the Science of Reading Movement! This course describes how to use the Simple View of Reading and Scarborough’s Reading Rope models to examine instructional targets and materials and design high-leverage and engaging practices for augmentative/alternative communication (AAC) users.

This podcast will focus on how to help students increase pre-reading and emergent reading level skills. Therapy strategies such as Dialogic reading and the CROWD (Completion, Recall, Open-ended, Wh-, and Distancing questions) prompting method are discussed.

This podcast discusses ways - including communication group activities - to support autistic individuals who communicate through a variety of modalities. It also emphasizes the importance of taking into account an autistic person's communication and terminology preferences.

This is Part 1 of the 5-part series, Applying the Science of Reading, Writing, and Oral Language for Students Who Use AAC. The ability to write has enormous power, especially for a student who uses augmentative/alternative communication (AAC). This course describes how students who use AAC can become authors when systematic, sequential and explicit instruction is anchored in the science of writing, and discusses the components and benefits of this type of reading/writing curriculum.
