CEU Courses for SLPs

This is Part 1 of a four-part series. This course discusses symptoms and types of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Concepts of intervention staging and assessment and intervention planning are also addressed.

This course addresses legal and ethical guidelines for appropriate inclusion of, and collaboration with, qualified interpreters in healthcare and educational settings. Important qualities and qualifications of an interpreter are discussed, as well as effective strategies that providers should employ when using interpreters in their practice and ways to resolve common dilemmas.

With “hot topics” in healthcare including person-centered care, functional therapy, evidence-based practice (EBP), and telehealth, how do we integrate these cutting-edge concepts into goal-setting that really matters in adult speech therapy? This course describes the latest research, frameworks and tools to promote efficient, functional goal-setting, and provides clinical examples of multiple client and setting scenarios.

This course provides participants with an understanding of documentation requirements in a post-acute setting, including Medicare regulations and guidelines. It identifies why speech therapy services are denied and ways to mitigate the denial of skilled services, and describes how to document medical necessity.

This course is Part 2 of a two-part series. It will present detailed instructions for assessing cranial nerve integrity, and discuss how to interpret and report exam findings. Templates that can be used immediately in clinical practice are provided.

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.
