CEU Courses for SLPs

A variety of commercial and assistive technologies for remediating and accommodating attention, memory, executive functioning and other cognitive deficits that affect numerous functional areas are discussed in this course. The information is designed to help prepare the participant for the Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) examination.

Assistive Technology Professionals (ATPs) are often key members of the wheelchair seating evaluation team. Seating interventions, including pressure management, seated angles, and strategies to address common positioning challenges, are addressed in this course.

A variety of assistive technology (AT) access methods are presented in this course to help prepare participants for the Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) examination. Definitions, clinical indicators for selecting different access methods, facilitators, and programming are discussed.

Power wheelchairs provide independent, functional mobility for people unable to efficiently self-propel any type of manual wheelchair. Power scooters and wheelchairs, as well as clinical indicators and features such as drive wheel configuration, power seating and alternative driving methods are discussed in this course to help prepare participants for the Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) exam.

This course discusses manual wheelchairs in the context of preparing for the Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) exam. Wheelchair categories and their clinical indicators are systematically explored, along with optimal frame configuration and stroke methods to increase propulsion efficiency and reduce the risk of repetitive stress injury.

A hierarchy of computer and tablet access options for clients unable to use standard access, such as a keyboard, mouse, and touch screen, is presented in this course. Areas to be analyzed during assessment, including motor skills, vision, cognition, and functional applications, are described, and alternative keyboards, mice, operating systems and software rate enhancement are discussed, to help prepare the learner for the Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) exam.

After the wheelchair seating assessment is complete, specific client needs must be matched to seating product interventions. Various categories of seating systems, their clinical indicators and constituents, including primary support surfaces, secondary support components, and materials, are discussed in this course. This course is intended to help the learner prepare for the Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) exam.

Electronic Aids to Daily Living (EADLs), which provide an alternative means of controlling devices primarily within the home environment, are discussed in this course to prepare the learner for the Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) exam. Topics include examples of EADLs, potential limitations of consumer technologies for those with disabilities, and situations where disability-specific aids may be needed.

This course covers assistive technology (AT) Assessment and Service Delivery in the context of preparing for the Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) examination. AT assessment components and service delivery models, as well as AT team members, outcomes, ethics, and standards of practice are discussed.

This course presents sensory technologies in the context of preparing for the Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) examination. Sensory impairments (hearing loss and deafness, low vision and blindness, and deaf-blindness), as well as various assistive technologies to augment or replace an individual’s sensory loss, are discussed in this course.
