CEU Courses Audio for SLPs

The benefits of interprofessional practice (IPP) in educational settings and ways to implement IPP to support social language using science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM)-based problem solving are discussed in this course. An IPP team comprised of a school-based SLP, a special education teacher, and a gifted and talented teacher/media specialist describe the specific IPP framework that they use.

The prevalence of tinnitus in teenagers from all causes and the primary complaints associated with bothersome tinnitus are discussed in this course. Screenings and interventions the speech-language pathologist can provide, as well as situations in which referrals to other specialists should be made, are described.

The importance of assessment and intervention targeting morphology and syntax and the subsequent impact on student literacy outcomes are discussed in this course. Assessment tools and treatment activities that address these areas, as well as cultural and linguistic diversity considerations, are described.

The research and theoretical framework behind trach/vent management, including elements of decision-making and risk assessment and management, are described in this course. A complex case study of resuming oral intake in a patient with trach/vent is presented to provide an in-depth look at real-world application of this information.

Augmentative/alternative communication (AAC) in the context of preparing for the Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) exam is discussed in this course. Different types of AAC devices and their applications are described, and the HAAT model (Human Activity Assistive Technology) is used to explore key AAC features such as access, display, programming, mounting, and integration of systems.

After the wheelchair seating assessment is complete, specific client needs must be matched to seating product interventions. Various categories of seating systems, their clinical indicators and constituents, including primary support surfaces, secondary support components, and materials, are discussed in this course. This course is intended to help the learner prepare for the Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) exam.

Electronic Aids to Daily Living (EADLs), which provide an alternative means of controlling devices primarily within the home environment, are discussed in this course to prepare the learner for the Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) exam. Topics include examples of EADLs, potential limitations of consumer technologies for those with disabilities, and situations where disability-specific aids may be needed.

Dependent mobility devices, which are not intended for self-propulsion, are discussed in this course. These devices include adaptive strollers, which may be used to meet small children’s positional and dependent mobility needs, as well as transport chairs and tilt in space, reclining and standard manual wheelchairs, which may be used for quick trips or a temporary back-up to a power wheelchair. This course is intended to help the learner prepare for the Assistive Technology Professional (ATP) exam.

This course provides speech-language pathologists with the basics needed to get started with stuttering intervention. The importance of acceptance of stuttering is discussed, and service recommendations, including treatment protocols and specific activities, are described for preschool-aged, school-aged, and adult clients.

Key factors related to respiratory failure and oral intubation, including levels of respiratory support and effects of intubation on the larynx and swallow, are reviewed in this course. A decision-making framework for creating evidence-based, individualized plans of care is described within the context of a case study.
