An overview of what Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is and is not, including common myths and neurodevelopmental basics, is provided in this course. Practical strategies to manage and intervene with ADHD in children and teens are discussed, with a focus on identifying strengths and promoting self-regulation and executive functioning skills.

Successful outcomes and sustained health and wellness for patients often largely depend on the compliance and performance of a caregiver. Specific symptoms of caregiver burnout, practical techniques for decreasing burnout, caregiver resources, and billable interventions and goals to incorporate into a plan of care are described in this course.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series. Respiratory disease, respiratory failure, oral intubation, effects of intubation on the larynx and the swallow, and dysphagia management are discussed in this course. Risk factors and salient features of dysphagia after extubation are described in order to help clinicians effectively evaluate and treat their patients.

Differentiating obligatory distortions from compensatory productions, sensory feedback techniques, and effective placement strategies for correction of speech sound errors (e.g., lateral lisp and distortion of /ɚ/ and /r/) are described in this course. Motor learning and motor memory principles are discussed as a framework for achieving carryover after sound acquisition has occurred.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series. Evaluation of feeding/swallowing in children age 0-3 is discussed, including: careful history-taking to allow comparison to age-typical anatomy, physiology and oral sensorimotor skills; assessment of overall body systems and skills with age-appropriate foods/liquids; and using assessment results to identify compensations and facilitations that support optimal function.

Telepractice is here to stay, and now is the best time to apply secure practices to ensure safe and compliant delivery. Vulnerabilities in telepractice delivery are described and practical advice for SLPs who offer or are considering offering telepractice services is provided.

The key ingredients needed to conduct a dynamic assessment both in English and Bilingually are described in this course. Different ways to modify an assessment to focus on the student’s learning potential rather than a static assessment that highlights the student’s abilities as they are without support are discussed. Examples of how to collect data from a dynamic assessment to create measurable and achievable goals that match the individual’s potential are also provided.
