CEU Courses for SLPs

This course will discuss the challenges of unilateral conductive hearing loss, why one good ear is not good enough, and why choosing a bone conduction hearing device such as the Oticon Medical Ponto can help improve hearing loss. Information will be provided on how advocacy in the classroom along with help from early intervention services can help children benefit during the critical years of development and beyond.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series. The course will assist speech-language pathologists in understanding hearing loss and their role in managing children with hearing loss. (Part 2 is course 9137)

This is Part 4 of a four-part series, Incorporating Movement to Comprehensively Treat Preschoolers with ASD. This course examines the impact of visual and auditory processing challenges for preschoolers with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Participants will be able to identify deficits and describe evidence-based intervention strategies that improve auditory and visual processing to improve outcomes globally for this population, while developing critical motor skills. This course is presented in partnership with Thieme Publishers. (Part 1 - Course 9096, Part 2 - Course 9103, Part 3 - Course 9115)

This course will discuss the signs that go beyond depression to reveal active suicidal or self-harm risk. It will address the prevalence of suicidality in long term care settings, elevated risks in care transitions, steps to improve clinicians' comfort and ability to conduct effective interviews and risk assessments, and the Baby Boomer cohort effect. Clinical tips and resources will also be provided.

This is Part 3 of a four-part series, Incorporating Movement to Comprehensively Treat Preschoolers with ASD. This course examines the impact of motor impairment and tactile perception dysfunction on preschoolers with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Participants will be empowered to identify deficits and describe evidence-based intervention strategies that address these motor and perceptual challenges to improve social, cognitive, and linguistic outcomes for these preschoolers. This course is presented in partnership with Thieme Publishers. (Part 1 - Course 9096, Part 2 - Course 9103, Part 4 - Course 9116)

This is Part 2 of a two-part series on augmentative/alternative communication (AAC) and adults with developmental disabilities (DD). This course will focus on communicative functions, funding, vocabulary selection, writing AAC goals, and AAC implementation with age-appropriate activities. Examples of various non-electronic and electronic therapeutic tools to be used during communication therapy with adults with DD will be provided. (Part 1 - Course 8973)

This course will provide an overview of selective mutism, including causes, characteristics, and history, as well as components of assessment and diagnosis. It will discuss steps in intervention and treatment considerations such as promoting generalization and involving parents and other professionals.

This is Part 2 of a four-part series, Incorporating Movement to Comprehensively Treat Preschoolers with ASD. This course examines the impact of poor balance, proprioception, and postural control, weak muscle tone, and restrictive-repetitive behaviors on intentional movement development for preschoolers with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Participants will be empowered to both identify deficits and describe evidence-based intervention strategies that address these motor challenges in order to improve social, cognitive, and linguistic outcomes for preschoolers with ASD. This course is presented in partnership with Thieme Publishers. (Part 1 - Course 9096, Part 3 - Course 9115, Part 4 - Course 9116)

This is Part 1 of a two-part series about the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI).

This course will discuss the rationale behind developing new terminology and criteria related to dysphagia diets. (Part 2 - Course 9194)

This is Part 1 of a four-part series, Incorporating Movement to Comprehensively Treat Preschoolers with ASD. This course will describe how to comprehensively treat preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by addressing comorbid motor impairments. Participants will learn how to incorporate task-oriented fine and gross motor movement activities to increase joint attention and executive function skills to improve lifelong outcomes. This course is presented in partnership with Thieme Publishers. (Part 2 - Course 9103, Part 3 - Course 9115, Part 4 - 9116)
