Treating acquired speech and language disorders starts with a strong differential diagnosis evaluation. This course will guide the participant in recognizing the differences and then building a combination of treatment approaches to target the impairments. Participants will become familiar with tests including the Newcastle Dysarthria Assessment Tool, The Apraxia Speech Rating Scale, The Apraxia Battery for Adults Assessment, and Cognitive Test Battery for Global Aphasia. Evidence based treatment approaches will be discussed as well as some less researched clinical pathways. These techniques include Rhythm/rate control methods, and articulatory kinematic approaches The instructor will present case studies and guides on documentation. Therapists will leave with a well-rounded approach to acquired speech and language disorders to bring to the patients on Monday morning.

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Recall basic knowledge of neuroanatomy related to strokes
  • Review epidemiological risks factors that can cause CVAs
  • Identify disorders related to post CVA sequela such as apraxia, dysarthria, global aphasia and dysphagia
  • Classify and diagnose aphasia, apraxia, and dysarthria’s based on chart review and patient presentation, and standardized testing
  • Compare current treatment methods efficacy as notes in the research
  • Recognize and coexistence of multiple neuro speech/language disorders to provide an accurate differential diagnosis
  • Predict outcomes based on severity and co-morbidities in order to decide the most appropriate treatment pathways
  • Recommend and implement appropriate treatment strategies to achieve the predicted outcomes.
  • Choose modifications during treatment to compensate for visual dysfunction

Reviews

"I really enjoyed the course. I felt it was a good review and update to my current practice. I really appreciated so many recourses were readily available. "

- Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Oct 2022

"I appreciated that all the resources were free but would still like to hear what other options are out there that may not be free. I also felt this course was very heavy on assessment and diagnosis but light on treatment. I'd have preferred more focus on treatment, especially for the case studies as I am not in acute care and often get patients years post. "

- Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Oct 2022

"I would have liked to see some examples of the different therapy techniques in action, perhaps with video. "

- Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Oct 2022

"I would be very interested in attending an expanded course on cognitive communication skills evaluation and treatment. "

- Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Oct 2022

"Lubna was an excellent presenter. The information on the slides wasn't overwhelming and she kept the course moving. In addition, she presented the information in a manner that was easy to comprehend. I would definitely like to attend a dysphagia course conducted by her. "

- Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Oct 2022

"I really appreciated the course and the fact that the presenter is actually in the same setting that I work in. She could provide practical input into assessment and treatment. "

- Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Oct 2022

"This was a GREAT course for this SLP transitioning from peds to geriatrics. "

- Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Oct 2022

"I appreciated the balance between anatomy/physiology and case studies. Also, Lubna’s ability to communicate taught concepts in a clear and concise manner. "

"This course was good! Thank you so much! I appreciate the presenter and her perspective. It is obvious she is a great clinician who cares about the success of her therapists and her patients. There are two things that I think could have taken this from good to great. The first is communication. I do wish there was a way we could call/speak to dialogue our questions. Even though there is a chat function, communication feels very one-way. The second has to do with my expectations. I was hoping for a deep dive into Apraxia, Dysarthria, and Global Aphasia. I feel like this was a solid overview, but also included overviews not related to the title subject. "

- Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Oct 2022

"Did a great job keeping me awake and engaged at 6:00 am! Especially with so much technical info. I appreciated that she didn't try to waste my time by filling every single second. If a topic was done, it was done and she moved on."

"Enjoyed it greatly. Thank you. "

- Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Aug 2021

"Maybe a little less time on neuroanatomy review (because how often do we as SLP's actually know the exact location of the pt's injury) and more on differential diagnosis and case study examples. The videos of patient examples were an excellent touch!"

- Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Aug 2021

"Very nice job! Learned a lot. Loved all the resources in the appendix. Thank you."

- Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Aug 2021

"I enjoyed this speaker. She did an awesome job, even with a very sore voice. She held fast, stayed positive and on course. Tell her not to apologize so much for all the coughing. I totally understood. :)) I have worked in SNF's, acute and subacute settings with mostly dysphagia patients for over 20+ years and still love all the new knowledge out there. I'm also a part-time instructor for Chapman University in the adult learning lab, so I really like to hear about any new treatments to pass on to the students. Thank you for your time. "

- Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Aug 2021

"I went to a university that focused heavily on language disorders and did not cover much about apraxia/dysarthria. I honestly feel like I learned more in this course than during my time in graduate school. Thank you for presenting this course!"

- Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Aug 2021

"Great course! Knowledgeable instructor "
