School Intervention And Collaboration In Schools 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 will focus on the prevalence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and concussion in children and teens, the communication issues that can occur as a result, and recovery patterns. Current treatment guidelines - including return-to-learn protocols - and the role of the speech-language pathologist in the rehabilitation process will also be discussed.

This course will address the theoretical underpinnings and research base related to differential diagnosis and treatment of articulation and phonological deficits in children with speech sound disorders. Special considerations for how to tailor evaluation and intervention to meet the needs of school-age children will be discussed.

This course will help SLPs identify the reasons behind students' problem behaviors. It will also discuss functional communication training and demonstrate strategies to use during therapy sessions when these behaviors are barriers to learning and engagement.

The number of individuals who communicate in languages and dialects that differ from Standard American English (SAE) continues to grow in the U.S., yet the vast majority of SLPs are monolingual speakers of SAE. This course will introduce participants to evidence-based strategies and methods for planning and implementing assessments for multilinguals who do not speak the same language(s) as the evaluating SLP. It will also discuss resources for determining difference versus disorders in these individuals.

This is Part 2 of a two-part series on language and literacy through an interdisciplinary approach. This course provides a model for discussing with other school professionals how spoken language impacts written language, and why this detailed knowledge of language is crucial for anyone teaching children to read. Evidence from the literature supporting this view will be presented.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series on language and literacy instruction using an interdisciplinary approach. This course lays the foundation for understanding perspectives of other key literacy professionals and current trends in instruction. (Part 2: Course 9350)

This course will discuss the provision of evidence-based language therapy services via telepractice to children from birth through high school. A brief overview of the current literature will be provided, along with a more in-depth look at using evidence-based practices in a telepractice setting. This course is presented in partnership with the American Board of Child Language and Language Disorders (ABCLLD).

This course will provide an overview of bilingual service delivery with pediatric clients, including bilingual speech and language development, evaluation and treatment, and the use of interpreters. Speech-language pathologists will learn practical information regarding bilingual service delivery to better serve their diverse caseloads in schools and other clinical practice settings.

This course will examine a variety of data collection options for the speech-language pathologist, primarily in the school-based setting.
