CEU Courses for SLPs

This is Part 2 of a two-part series demonstrating the evidence related to neurogenic dysphagia resulting from various motor disorders in older adults. This course will explore additional concepts associated with neurogenic dysphagia, such as sarcopenia and malnutrition. Case studies of individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) will be presented. (Part 1 is Course 9185)

This is Part 3 of a four-part series, Dementia Diaries. This course will provide an in-depth review of evidence-based interventions used by SLPs to treat patients with dementia. Documentation requirements will be reviewed, and examples of skilled documentation will be presented.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series demonstrating the evidence related to neurogenic dysphagia resulting from various motor disorders in older adults. The bodily systems involved in dysphagia will be elucidated and advice for applying these concepts to clinical practice will be provided. Case studies of individuals with Huntington's Disease, Parkinson's and Lewy Body Dementia will be presented. (Part 2 is Course 9186)

This is Part 2 of the four-part series, Dementia Diaries. This course will provide a comprehensive overview of the stages of decline in dementia and definitive characteristics of each. Assessment using standardized and non-standardized methods will be discussed, along with documentation standards for assessment.

Harassment, and more specifically, sexual harassment, is illegal. This course reviews the definition of sexual harassment, ways to prevent harassment, and what to do should harassment occur in the workplace.

This course will describe the need for alternative management methods for community-dwelling individuals living with dementia, including creative quality of life approaches.

In this course, participants will learn how to use both implicit and explicit approaches when targeting the grammatical weaknesses of children with language impairment. The course will present different evidence-based techniques for grammatical interventions to integrate into their sessions. This course is presented in partnership with the American Board of Child Language and Language Disorders (ABCLLD).

This is Part 1 of a four-part series, Dementia Diaries. Speech-Language Pathologists play an ever-increasing role in the assessment and treatment of patients with cognitive communicative disorders. This course will provide a comprehensive review of the most common types of dementia, including definitive diagnosis characteristics and prognosis. Reversible and irreversible dementias will be discussed, as well as progressive and non-progressive types.

This course will summarize the recommendations of the recently released Communication Guidelines in Rett Syndrome. Best practices for assessment and intervention of communication in individuals with Rett syndrome, including use of alternative/augmentative communication (AAC), will be described and demonstrated.

This course will review models for integrating Simucase into a Communication Sciences & Disorders (CSD) program. The Simucase platform will be reviewed. Guidelines for supervision and awarding clinical hours will be discussed, and evidence-based debriefing methods will be presented. A rubric for analyzing the learner’s participation will be reviewed, and tools for assessing overall satisfaction with the simulation will be examined.
