This course will discuss pain definitions, pain perception, principles of quality pain management, including therapeutic communication about pain, and prevention of transition to chronic pain, in order to improve understanding of the relationship between the opioid epidemic and pain management. It will also review the literature discussing the relationship between hearing loss and opioid misuse.

This course will discuss the importance of stressing academic language in addition to phonological awareness when preparing preschoolers with language impairments for later reading development. The purpose of academic language, its components, importance to later reading comprehension, development progression, typical cultural variation in preschoolers’ exposure to it, and ideas for teaching it will be included.

This course will provide detailed and explicit examples of how SLPs might consider incorporating phonological awareness and orthography into treatment sessions for children with speech sound disorders.

This is Part 4 of a four-part series, Dementia Diaries. This course will discuss evidence-based practice and how clinicians can apply it to real-world therapy activities. Skilled documentation examples for each activity will be provided.

This is Part 2 of a two-part series demonstrating the evidence related to neurogenic dysphagia resulting from various motor disorders in older adults. This course will explore additional concepts associated with neurogenic dysphagia, such as sarcopenia and malnutrition. Case studies of individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) will be presented. (Part 1 is Course 9185)

This is Part 3 of a four-part series, Dementia Diaries. This course will provide an in-depth review of evidence-based interventions used by SLPs to treat patients with dementia. Documentation requirements will be reviewed, and examples of skilled documentation will be presented.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series demonstrating the evidence related to neurogenic dysphagia resulting from various motor disorders in older adults. The bodily systems involved in dysphagia will be elucidated and advice for applying these concepts to clinical practice will be provided. Case studies of individuals with Huntington's Disease, Parkinson's and Lewy Body Dementia will be presented. (Part 2 is Course 9186)
