This is Part 3 of the five-part series, Improving Pediatric Feeding Assessment Skills. Chewing is one of the most important skills in preparing a solid bolus before swallowing. This course will discuss the types of disordered chewing patterns that interfere with eating and how those deficits may impact the child's feeding as a whole.

This is Part 4 of the five-part series, Improving Pediatric Feeding Assessment Skills. Swallowing is important for the overall safety of the feeding process. This course will discuss the types of disordered swallowing patterns that interfere with eating and how those deficits impact the child's feeding as a whole.

This course is designed to cover the infection control compliance requirements for professionals in a healthcare setting.

Children with speech and resonance disorders (hypernasality, hyponasality, and cul-de-sac resonance) and/or nasal emission present challenges for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in all settings. This article will help participants to recognize resonance disorders and the characteristics of velopharyngeal dysfunction, and provide appropriate management.

This is Part 3 of a three-part series. This course will show 3 separate FEES examinations with patients demonstrating severe dysphagia, all with significant aspiration. Scoring/interpretation of FEES will be reviewed and recommendations for oral vs. alternative feeding will be discussed.

This course defines and describes the types of simulations utilized for clinical education in communication sciences and disorders (CSD). The learning theory behind simulation education will be presented, with the process and examples of debriefing specifically highlighted.
Please note: This course uses a different recorded format from most of our courses; arrows on the playbar must be used to progress through the course. When playback stops after the course introduction, use the right arrow key to progress to the second slide, where you can read the full playback instructions. Due to the nature of the development of this content, this course is best viewed on a tablet-sized screen or larger. Please plan your viewing experience accordingly.

This course is designed to share the components of effective and collaborative interprofessional education (IPE) using simulations as a foundation for teaching and learning. The course will provide the opportunity to work through and apply real-world, evidence-based examples for allied health professionals.

This is Part 2 of the five-part series, Improving Pediatric Feeding Assessment Skills. Tongue functioning is important for the control of food and liquid during the feeding process. This course will discuss the types of disordered tongue movements that interfere with eating and how those deficits may impact the child's feeding as a whole.
