CEU Courses for SLPs

This course provides an overview of the Cycles Phonological Remediation Approach for children with highly unintelligible speech. Discussion includes selection of optimal phonological patterns and targets, implementation and consideration of both a traditional and modified Cycles Approach, and group therapy strategies.

Due to the amount of crossover between the professions, intense collaboration is often necessary between speech-language pathologists and board certified behavior analysts (BCBAs). This course discusses knowledge and skills related to applied behavior analysis (ABA) and provides SLPs with strategies for collaborating with BCBAs while prioritizing client-centered care.

SLPs may be asked to serve as an expert witness without prior experience, training, and/or guidance from our professional literature. This course offers guidance on terminology, procedures, cautions, cases, role plays, and recommendations for successful practice as an expert witness.

This course provides an overview of the components of healthcare documentation and International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) coding. Laws related to medical records, including Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requirements, are also reviewed.

This course describes the shared role of supervision between SLPs and SLP Assistants (SLPAs). It discusses scope of practice for each and provides practical supervisory tools and strategies, such as needs scales, as well as case examples.

This course discusses common lung conditions related to prematurity. Practical clinical applications are addressed, including successful positive-pressure ventilation techniques, neuroprotection, long-term disease management, and improved interdisciplinary team communications.

The critical importance of phonemic awareness, especially for children with a history of speech and/or language delays, is discussed in this Fast Class. A variety of assessment and intervention activities to improve phonemic awareness are described.

Interactions between frailty, sarcopenia, and an aging swallow can result in significant swallowing difficulties in geriatric clients. This course discusses the relationships between swallowing, frailty, and aging, as well as additional contributing factors, and describes interventions to manage and possibly prevent sarcopenic dysphagia.

This course provides an overview of the neuroscience underlying sensation and perception, as well as its application to learning and treatment. It discusses a client’s ability to sense and perceive details of therapy tasks as critical components for adaptability and plasticity of the human brain, which in turn improves functional outcomes.

Reflective practice is important in clinical education and ASHA encourages “a lifelong commitment to self-evaluation,” but information regarding specific tools for the SLP is limited. This course discusses effective verbal and written reflection practices and presents Gibb’s Reflective Cycle, an analytic tool that can be used in supervisory practice. Case studies are also included.
