CEU Courses for SLPs

This course provides an overview of contemporary considerations in pediatric augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) service delivery for speech-language pathologists and related professionals. Scope of practice and client profile information are covered, along with key topics in AAC assessment and intervention.

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.

Students who have multiple disabilities often have difficulty with pragmatic language, especially for workforce preparation. The ability to self-monitor interactions as they happen is essential for success in various community settings but is difficult to teach. This webinar discusses using storyboards and real-time video as tools to model social language and behavior, and to develop self-monitoring skills.

Master skills to implement in your practice immediately with continued Master Class. This course covers interprofessional perspectives and practices for occupational therapists (OTs) and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) related to cognitive evaluation and intervention for individuals with acquired neurogenic disorders. Case studies are presented to demonstrate application of these concepts.

This course discusses systematic, effective ways to reduce speech sound errors within a Response to Intervention (RtI) framework. It provides strategies for deciding whether, and at what level, to enroll a child in speech treatment, and for supporting phonologic learning and monitoring progress in the general education setting. A successful three-tiered model of intervention at the elementary school level is also presented.

This course provides an exploration into current topics regarding clinical supervision, including professional development requirements for clinical supervisors, key competencies, and strategies for effective supervision.

This is Part 3 of a three-part series on mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

This is Part 2 of a three-part series on mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This course describes the anatomical and physiological deterioration observed in various types of mild cognitive impairment, and how the progression from MCI to dementia may be revealed via neuroimaging. The role of neuropsychiatric dysfunction in MCI and executive dysfunction is also discussed.

This is Part 1 of a three-part series on mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This course discusses characteristics, subtypes and diagnostic indicators of MCI, and identifies risk factors for the progression of MCI to dementia. Potential dangers related to polypharmacy in individuals with MCI are also addressed.
