Cough Strengthening Treatment Impact on Vocal Health in Parkinson’s Disease
Presented by Bridget Russell, PhD, CCC-SLP
Video
Course: #11364Level: Intermediate1 Hour
This course reviews the effects of Sensorimotor Training for Airway Protection (smTAP), a cough-strengthening treatment method, on the vocal health of individuals with Parkinson’s Disease. While this treatment enhances cough efficacy, its impact on vocal health remains underexplored. Discussion involves pre- and post-treatment vocal health evaluations, comparing how the use of smTAP affects vocal health in patients with Parkinson's Disease. Findings offer clinically relevant insights into treatment selection for Parkinson’s Disease patients.

Aging Voice
Presented by Lauren Fay, MS, CCC-SLP
Video
Course: #11363Level: Introductory1 Hour
Many changes happen in the body over time, and the voice is no exception. Patients with vocal fold atrophy related to aging are a substantial part of the treatment-seeking population. This course explores epidemiology, physiology, evaluation, and treatment of voice disorders related to aging.

Pediatric Swallow Studies: How Do They Impact Plans of Care?
Presented by Amber Valentine Forston, MS, CCC-SLP, BCS-S, IBCLC, CNT
Video
Course: #11299Level: Intermediate1 Hour
As speech-language pathologists, we are responsible for ensuring safe and efficient swallowing across all populations. Modified Barium Swallow Studies (MBSS) and Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) are instrumental in developing comprehensive treatment plans for patients with dysphagia. While these assessment tools are widely utilized in adult settings, they remain underutilized in pediatric practice. This course reviews the advantages and limitations of each diagnostic procedure and discusses how these valuable assessment tools can enhance dysphagia services for pediatric populations.

Vocal Fold Paralysis
Presented by Lauren Fay, MS, CCC-SLP
Video
Course: #11280Level: Introductory1 Hour
Speech pathologists may encounter patients with vocal fold paralysis in various clinical, hospital, and rehabilitation settings. This course provides an overview of the etiology, evaluation, prognosis, and management options, including voice therapy techniques.

Understanding Disproportionality of Speech-Language Impairment (SLI) within the School Setting
Presented by Allison Solberg, MA, CCC-SLP
VideoAudio
Course: #11157Level: Introductory1 Hour
This course examines the disproportionate identification of students for Speech-Language Impairment (SLI) services in educational settings. Discussion includes exploring evidence-based factors contributing to over-identification across diverse student populations and learning practical strategies to improve evaluation accuracy. The course provides actionable frameworks for implementing equitable referral processes, culturally responsive assessment practices, and targeted intervention approaches to ensure appropriate SLI identification and support services.

20Q: Pediatric Voice Disorders – A Comprehensive Update on Diagnosis and Treatment
Presented by Susan Baker Brehm, PhD, CCC-SLP, Barbara (Derickson) Weinrich, PhD, CCC-SLP, Lisa Nelson Kelchner, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-S
Text
Course: #11150Level: Intermediate2.5 Hours
Pediatric voice disorders differ from adult voice disorders due to anatomical, developmental, social, and familial factors, requiring specialized evaluation and treatment. This article provides speech-language pathologists with insights into causes, treatment approaches, behavioral therapy effectiveness, and the impact of voice disorders on academic and social development.

Textbook: Evaluating and Enhancing Children's Phonological Systems - Research and Theory to Practice, Third Edition
Presented by Barbara W. Hodson, PhD
Text
Course: #11104Level: Advanced16.5 Hours
This course is based on the third edition of the textbook Evaluating & Enhancing Children's Phonological Systems: Research & Theory to Practice by Barbara W. Hodson. It presents the knowledge and skills needed to plan evaluations and implement optimal treatment for individuals with highly unintelligible speech. Topics also include phonetics, phonological development/speech sound acquisition, an overview of the diagnostic process, and various intervention approaches, including the Cycles Approach and its application to bilingual/multilingual individuals and special populations.

Implementation of AAC In The Adult Population
Presented by Michelle Lange, OTR/L, ABDA, ATP/SMS, Kim Winter, MA, CCC-SLP
Video
Course: #1033893Level: Advanced3 Hours
Master skills to implement in your practice immediately with Continued Master Class. Implementing augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) with adults can be challenging and requires a team approach. Evaluation and implementation must include positioning to optimize function, access to required assistive technology devices, and mounting. This course will highlight many variables and modifications that can optimize AAC access.

FEES: Interpretation and Clinical Writing
Presented by Erika McLean, MS, CCC-SLP
Video
Course: #10972Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Passing the scope in a (Flexible/Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing) FEES is easy; interpreting what we see once the scope is in place carries the weight of the study and requires the skill of a trained SLP. This course describes the anatomy as seen during FEES. How anatomy should function during a normal swallow, the physiologic deficits seen on FEES, and how to document normal and abnormal findings are also discussed.

Textbook: Improving Speech Intelligibility in Adults - Clinical Application of Evidence-Based Strategies
Presented by Connie K. Porcaro, PhD, CCC-SLP
Text
Course: #10960Level: Intermediate11.5 Hours
Based on the textbook Improving Speech Intelligibility in Adults - Clinical Application of Evidence-Based Strategies, this course discusses what we can learn from the evidence to improve intelligibility in adults. Aspects of evaluation and management related to speakers, listeners, and the communication environment are described in detail.
