This is Part 5 of a five-part pediatric feeding series. This course provides a basic introduction to the diagnosis of Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE). Implications for treatment of developing feeders in regard to EoE and other diagnoses that require restriction of food items will be discussed. (Part 1: Course 8145, Part 2: Course 8146, Part 3: Course 8149, Part 4: Course 8151)

This SimQ article provides key information regarding the current status of simulations in CSD, including a discussion of the factors that account for the emerging interest in this learning tool. This article will help educators to better understand some of the background and evidence in support of simulations in healthcare education.

This course will provide specific examples of desensitization activities an SLP may use when working with school-aged children who stutter. The rationale for using these type of activities, and examples of measurable goals and objectives an SLP can include in an individualized education program (IEP) or treatment plan, will be provided.

This is Part 4 of a five-part pediatric feeding series. This course provides an introduction to congenital heart disease, co-occurring problems, and associated diagnoses. The outcomes associated with congenital heart disease are discussed in relation to feeding, nutrition, and development. (Part 1: Course 8145, Part 2: Course 8146, Part 3: Course 8149, Part 5: Course 8152)

This is Part 2 of a two-part series. Treating dysphagia in the patient with dementia can be challenging for therapists. This course will provide interventions and suggestions for therapists that can improve their patients' quality of life. (Part 1: Course 8178)

Bilingualism (and multilingualism) has become the norm rather than the exception within North America. Using the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) as a basis, this course provides theoretical and practical information and resources for supporting SLPs’ clinical and cultural competence for working with children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

Pearson's EBP Briefs are case-based courses designed to assist with everyday decision-making in clinical practice. This case will examine the clinical question, "For children ages birth to 3 years diagnosed with a language delay or disorder, to what extent do the prosodic components of motherese aid in establishing joint attention (JA)?" The related literature search and analysis, along with the resultant clinical decision and application to clinical practice, will also be discussed. A relevant assessment tool for this case is the Preschool Language Scale – 5th Edition (PLS-5).

This course explains the history of education standards and details the language and communication expectations of standards. Ideas for SLPs’ use of the standards for evaluation, eligibility determination and planning are provided.

This course describes cognitive rehabilitation therapy (CRT) for adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI), including general foundations of CRT and examples of CRT specific to attention, information processing, memory, executive function, and communication deficits following TBI.

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).
