CEU Courses for SLPs

This is Part 2 of a two-part series that will provide SLPs with a solid understanding of why /r/ is a complex phoneme to master, and how to achieve successful remediation. This session will describe metalinguistic cues and elicitation strategies for teaching /r/. Therapy activities that promote generalization will also be discussed.

This course will address real-life scenarios therapists often come across when providing therapy to patients with voice disorders. Best referral practices and risk factors related to occupation and personality will be described. Evidence-based treatment strategies and principles - including for specific populations (e.g., pediatric, geriatric, performers) - are discussed, with particular focus on application of research.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series that will provide SLPs with a solid understanding of why /r/ is a complex phoneme to master, and how to achieve successful remediation. This session will discuss anatomical contributions to /r/’s complexity, its impact on academic performance, and factors that affect therapy outcomes. Differences between non-speech oromotor exercises (NSOME) and skill training for /r/ therapy will also be discussed.

Social distancing and isolation associated with the COVID-10 pandemic have begun to take a toll on patients in residential settings, but SLPs can help mitigate the long-term consequences. This course will discuss the risk factors for and effects of isolation, as well as potential strategies to prevent or reverse pandemic-related cognitive decline.

This Part 2 of a 2-part series focused on functional social communication intervention for grades 7 thru 12 into adulthood. Treatment plans and case studies are presented to highlight techniques for engaging teens & adults in therapy, tips for extending social communication strategies into the classroom, and methods for helping adults overcome social anxiety.

Master skills to implement in your practice immediately with continued SP Master Class. This 4-hour course will provide a comprehensive overview of assessment and intervention across the TBI recovery continuum, including discussion of the relevant evidence base, treatment approaches as well as strategies for TBI-specific challenges, and provision of family- and client-centered care. Case study application and video analysis will compliment lecture content.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series. This course helped SLPs build a repertoire of social communication intervention strategies and improve functional outcomes with evidence-based treatment plans for students Pre-K to 6th grade. Individual case studies will demonstrate how social communication disorders present in a variety of diagnostic categories. Practical tools for treatment from the therapy room to the classroom - including collaboration with other professionals - will be discussed.

Accurate payment for SLP services depends on compliance with payer guidelines (e.g., coverage, supervision) and the specific payment system (e.g., prospective payment, fee-for-service) relevant to the practice setting (e.g., inpatient, outpatient) in which the service is provided. This course will define and illustrate the interrelationship of these three professional elements, including their relevance to supervision requirements, and will provide resources for further assistance.

Standardization of measures used in the interpretation of videofluoroscopic swallow studies is necessary to facilitate communication across providers and to ensure the correct application of rehabilitation and compensatory strategies. This course will review the many videofluoroscopic swallow study metrics that are utilized across different stages of the lifespan, and report on the evidence that supports their correlation to treatment.
