Pearson's EBP Briefs are case-based courses designed to assist with everyday decision-making in clinical practice. This case will examine the clinical question, “What are the evidence-based classroom accommodations for school-age students with traumatic brain injury who are struggling academically, and do they improve academic performance as compared to no classroom accommodations?” The related literature search and analysis, along with the resultant clinical decision and application to clinical practice, will also be discussed. A relevant assessment tool for this case is the CELF-5 Metalinguistics (Wiig & Secord, 2014).

This course first describes GFTA-3 administration and scoring, then discusses the interpretation of scores resulting from children's typical and atypical speech patterns.

This course will provide an overview of 1p36 deletion and describe characteristics of the genetic syndrome, specifically discussing feeding, swallowing and communication concerns. It will include case study presentations and videos to provide examples of patient characteristics in feeding and communication scenarios.

This course is designed to help participants apply effective speech therapy techniques for correction of speech sound errors (including lateral lisp and /r/) in children with and without related structural anomalies such as dental malocclusion or velopharyngeal insufficiency. Motor learning and motor memory principles will be discussed as a framework for achieving carryover soon after sound acquisition has occurred.

Private Practice is an option for speech pathologists and audiologists, but it is not for everyone! This course identifies questions you must ask yourself and identifies potential pitfalls to consider before you make that decision.

This course will discuss the basics to creating family friendly materials. Presenters will demonstrate how to create educational handouts in the form of a newsletter and handouts that may be used within speech pathology sessions or as part of a home program.

This is Part 2 of a two-part series. Evidence-based strategies will be discussed regarding individualized service delivery models for the middle school/high school student with autism. Case studies, videos and pictures will be shown to illustrate these concepts.

Vocal cord dysfunction is a perplexing disorder characterized by adduction of the vocal cords, usually on inhalation, resulting in obstruction of the airflow. This course will focus on the speech-language pathologist's involvement in assessment and treatment strategies in the pediatric population (up to age 21). This course is open captioned.

Pearson's EBP Briefs are case-based courses designed to assist with everyday decision-making in clinical practice. This case will examine the clinical question, “Do school-age children receiving treatment for speech, language, and/or communication disorders show equivalent benefit from telepractice-based intervention as from on-site intervention as shown by comparable improvement inspeech, language, and communication skills across the two treatment platforms?” The related literature search and analysis, along with the resultant clinical decision and application to clinical practice, will also be discussed. A relevant assessment tool for this case is the PPVT-4 (Dunn & Dunn, 2007)

This course will review and demonstrate the application of various evidence-based therapy approaches associated with organic or psychogenic conditions within the pediatric population. Examples will be integrated into child-based therapy along with discussion on how to consult the family and promote alternatives to phonotraumatic voice patterns. This course is open captioned.
