Nancy McKinley Lecture Series CEU Courses for SLPs

This course will present research regarding the current assessment practices of school-based speech-language pathologists, as well as providing evidence-based recommendations for optimizing assessment. In addition, the complexities of child language diagnoses will be discussed.

This course is part of the 2018 Nancy McKinley Lecture Series, Evaluating and Enhancing Children's Phonological Systems. Can the speech of special populations be described by phonological characteristics? This course will present research that shows the possibilities for evaluation and intervention.

This course is part of the 2018 Nancy McKinley Lecture Series, Evaluating and Enhancing Children's Phonological Systems. The purpose of this course is to discuss phonological assessment and intervention for bilingual children with highly unintelligible speech. Topics will include an overview of assessment modifications and recommendations to account for dialects, selecting Spanish and English phonological remediation targets, and implementing a bilingual phonological remediation approach, with particular emphasis on intervention strategies.

This course is part of the 2018 Nancy McKinley Lecture Series, Evaluating and Enhancing Children's Phonological Systems. This course will focus specifically on meta-phonological awareness, enhancing meta-phonological skills, eliciting troublesome phonemes, focusing on auditory input for toddlers and choosing advanced targets for older students. Case studies of children with highly unintelligible speech will be shared.

This course is part of the 2018 Nancy McKinley Lecture Series, Evaluating and Enhancing Children's Phonological Systems. This course will focus on identifying and categorizing phonological deviations, clarifying typical phonological acquisition vs. “articulation norms,” determining severity ratings, and selecting optimal phonological pattern targets.

This course is part of the 2017 Nancy McKinley Lecture Series, Supporting Young Learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This course will describe the most recent research findings in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), specifically related to early intervention and parent-implemented intervention. Content will focus on new neurobiological findings related to early intervention, long term outcomes following parent intervention, and evidence-based intervention updates from the National Standards Project (2015).

This course is part of the 2017 Nancy McKinley Lecture Series, Supporting Young Learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Mobile devices are non-threatening, accessible supports to collaboration and Universal Design for Learning that create greater outcomes for young learners with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and their caregivers. This course will outline the ingredients for successful and thoughtful use of mobile devices as well as potential pitfalls.

This course is part of the 2017 Nancy McKinley Lecture Series, Supporting Young Learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Sometimes the "little things" can cause the biggest problems for those with autism. This course will teach participants how to use visual strategies to help avoid behavior problems so students can achieve success in life activities.

This course is part of the 2017 Nancy McKinley Lecture Series, Supporting Young Learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Inaccurate diagnoses of autism are prevalent due to symptoms that are shared with other disorders. This course will identify the differential diagnostic indicators to help clinicians know when a child presents with autism.
