Summary: Individuals with hearing loss experience negative psychosocial consequences such as distress, depression, and loneliness. If they also experience excessive negative emotional responses (i.e., confusion, frustration, anger) or reduced positive emotional responses (i.e., happiness) compared to listeners with normal hearing, they might be unmotivated to approach communication situations. This course describes a study whose purpose was to determine the feasibility of using facial expressions to measure emotional responses.

Summary: Many factors can contribute to school SLPs feeling stressed and emotionally exhausted: large caseload sizes, innumerable paperwork responsibilities, minimal administrative and peer support, and conflicting roles within their work setting, to name a few. This recorded session from ASHA's 2021 Schools Connect online conference discusses and defines burnout, provides evidence-based strategies that you can implement immediately to reduce caseload- and workload-related stress, and provides examples of ways to advance change on caseload and workload issues on a larger scale.

Summary: This session from ASHA's 2021 Schools Connect online conference explores the incredible responsibility that comes with being a leader in a school district (i.e., lead SLP, coordinator, director, etc.). The speaker discusses the many issues and considerations that consume a leader's day and how to effectively lead others to provide quality services for students. This session also examines case studies and is designed for SLPs who are currently in a school district leadership role.

Summary: Many older adults experience a growing number of comorbidities and functional limitations as they age. An individual’s ability and willingness to access hearing care is influenced not only by the severity of his or her hearing loss but also by other health, socioeconomic, and environmental factors. This session discusses recent research on patient outcomes as well as reviews lessons learned from a human factors approach to hearing care for older adults, including addressing common comorbid conditions.

Summary: Older adults must make important decisions about their end-of-life care, and those with hearing and other communication disorders need special accommodations to participate in these important decisions to the fullest extent possible. This session discusses the communication needs of patients in the final stages of life, including the use of various hearing technologies, such as hearing aids, personal sound amplifiers, and pocket talkers. The presenters discuss tools to facilitate conversations among patients, family members, and caregivers.

Summary: This session explores workload and identifies ways to educate SLPs and their employers on the topic to improve recruitment and retention in our field as well as SLPs' mental health and productivity, all of which translates to better services for students.

Summary: This session is designed for school-based SLPs who support children with complex oral feeding and swallowing needs. The speaker discusses the components of a robust assessment-and how that assessment informs decisions surrounding a student's feeding needs. The session examines effective and realistic goal development to address feeding needs within an IEP.

Summary: The field of audiology focuses mostly on the peripheral auditory system-in both diagnosis and management-but other factors (e.g., "hidden hearing loss" and/or reduced cognitive ability) may play a role in an individual's ability to communicate in diverse environments. This session discusses how audiologists can incorporate evoked potential testing into the assessment battery to obtain a more comprehensive picture of auditory function.

Summary: Speech-language pathologists working in schools include measurable goals and benchmarks in students' IEPs. By reviewing speech sound assessment information, including narrow transcription of a student's utterances, the goals can be tailored to the student, thereby facilitating goal attainment. Treatment data can be invaluable for adjusting goals throughout the child's eligibility for special education.
