Articulation, Phonology, And Speech Sound Disorders CEU Courses for SLPs

Master skills to implement in your practice immediately with continued Master Class. This four-hour course describes the components of motor planning and the areas of impact. Assessment, strategies for supporting clients with motor planning challenges, and tips for discussing praxis with caregivers are also addressed.

This is Part 2 of a two-part series. Speech-language pathologists see children with a variety of communication disorders, often with co-morbid issues such as sensory processing disorder (SPD) and regulatory challenges. The impact of SPD and regulatory difficulties on speech/language skills is discussed, and strategies that support each sensory system in order to coregulate with children during therapy are provided.

Utilizing a bilingual framework, this course explores the implementation of a Cycles Approach for highly unintelligible bilingual (Spanish-English) speakers as well as speakers of several other languages. Topics include critical components of a bilingual approach, treatment targets for Spanish-English and multilingual speakers, and strategies for working with multilingual families.

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.

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.

This 30-minute Fast Class describes the most important method for eliciting /r/, discusses the fastest way to generalize /r/ and achieve automaticity, and explores several troubleshooting strategies. While there is much more to know about /r/, this is the “quick and dirty" version to achieve success.

There is a good deal of confusion among audiologists and speech-language pathologists when a diagnosis of “processing disorder” is introduced. This course presents a continuum model to differentiate processing disorders into acoustic, phonemic, or linguistic aspects so that assessment and treatment can become more focused and effective. The roles of audiologists and SLPs in relation to processing disorders are described, and compensatory strategies for differing aspects of processing are presented.

This course reviews dynamics of speech and language therapy variables such as session frequency, intervention intensity, and dosage, and how these are impacted by different service delivery models. It discusses how therapy outcomes are related to therapy quality, IEP goals, and SLP-level variables such as job satisfaction and caseload size.

This course provides clinicians with culturally responsive assessment strategies to help determine whether an AAE-speaking student presents with a speech and/or language disorder. Beginning with a brief exploration of cultural humility, this course discusses how clinicians can become more culturally competent when assessing AAE-speaking students.

This is Part 4 of a four-part series. This course describes five maxims of evidence-based practice for speech sound disorders. Specifically, it discusses how to create optimally effective therapy sessions by incorporating multimodal cueing, errorless scaffolding, complex treatment targets, distributed learning, and activity-based intervention within the context of movement activities.
