Presenter(s): Rachel O'Hare, RRT
Credit(s): PDHs: 1.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.1
Summary: This session introduces the anatomy and physiology of ventilation and respiration as well as discusses the skills needed to assess a patient's respiratory status. The session also touches on what respiratory failure looks like and the different therapies used to treat it.

Summary: This session provides information about speech sound disorder assessment and eligibility for school-age students. The speaker discusses age of acquisition of sounds as well as evidence for treating late-acquired sounds earlier in a child's development. The session also explores progress monitoring benchmarks for assessing treatment effectiveness.
Presenter(s): Raul F Prezas, PhD, CCC-SLP

Summary: This session discusses evaluating and enhancing the phonological systems of multilingual children with highly unintelligible speech. With an emphasis on Spanish-English children, the speaker addresses the assessment of multilingual learners, phonological intervention, target selection, and shared versus unshared sounds from several languages. The session explores specific factors related to stimulability, dialect, and other considerations.

Summary: The first two articles in this SIG 19 activity provide information to better our assessment and treatment of individuals in the area of voice, while the latter two articles focus on treatment of individuals in the area of speech production. The authors for all four articles present a review of the literature as well as challenges and future directions. First, Van Hook and Duffy conducted a pilot study to trial the Gender Spectrum Voice Inventory. This article provides a review, discussion of validity, and speech-language pathologists’ perceptions of the inventory in an effort to address a gap in available clinical tools for transgender and nonbinary people. Next, Hammer reviews the relationship between air flow with sound pressure level during syllable production while holding fundamental frequency and subglottic air pressure constant. The results have clinical implications that stress the importance of an increase in air flow and focus on vocal fold contact. Then, Gritsyk et al. describe their study to determine which measures of somatosensory acuity best predicted change in production accuracy during vowel learning tasks while controlling auditory acuity. Results indicate only bite block adaptation with auditory masking was significantly associated with performance. Finally, Zajac et al. discuss their preliminary study that indicated cleft type contributes to production errors, specifically backing, in children with repaired cleft palate. Additionally, a history of otitis media affects the spectral contrast of alveolar consonants in children without clefts.

Summary: This session discusses the use of valid assessment practices to differentiate childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) from other speech sound disorders. It also provides a framework for preferred treatment practices that focus on increasing meaningful communication. The speaker addresses working with both monolingual English-speaking and multilingual children with CAS.

Summary: This Perspectives activity focuses on the assessment and treatment of school-age students with social language deficits. Articles focus on conversational profiles for students with autism and intervention strategies appropriate for students within each profile; the benefit of using analog tasks with toddlers through adolescents to evaluate social communication abilities and guide intervention; best practices in assessing students with social communication deficits; and how effective commercially available standardized tests are for evaluating the social and pragmatic language deficits of students with social pragmatic communication disorder within and separate from autism.

Summary: A significant portion of school-age children speak languages in addition to English. To make appropriate diagnostic decisions when there are few available measures, SLPs must conduct assessments that have good classification accuracy and that are culturally and linguistically appropriate. This session addresses questions about assessments for bilingual or multilingual children, such as: How do we know how to select the best test for clinical diagnostic decision-making? What evidence-based procedures can we use? What are appropriate procedures for interpreting assessment results from children who use different varieties of English?This course is a recorded session from the 2022/2023 online conference "Assessment, Eligibility, and Dismissal in Schools: Strategies, Tools, and Decision-Making."

Summary: Voice disorders in children necessitate a thorough evaluation, including a complete case history and intake, perceptual assessment, acoustic/aerodynamic measurement, and laryngeal visualization. This session discusses low-tech and high-tech voice assessment techniques that school-based clinicians can employ, along with a series of cases that highlight the importance of voice evaluations in a school setting.This course is a recorded session from the 2022/2023 online conference "Assessment, Eligibility, and Dismissal in Schools: Strategies, Tools, and Decision-Making."
Presenter(s): Debbie Stanhouse, MEd, CCC-SLP, CCM
Credit(s): PDHs: 1.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.1
Summary: This session—a recorded session from ASHA’s 2020 Schools Connect conference—focuses on the continued rehabilitation of students with brain injuries through the art of successful transition into the school setting. The speaker addresses how accurate assessment leads to the establishment and implementation of successful intervention plans that include educationally relevant goals. This session is designed to accompany the 2020 Health Care Connect online conference session Initial Assessment and Transition Planning for Youth With Brain Injury. Together, the two sessions address provision of services for the same students across medical and school settings.

Summary: This course provides an overview of the diagnosis of ADHD and defines different ways ADHD may manifest within the educational setting in students with comorbid communication disorders. The session identifies suggested therapy targets and reviews modification strategies and classroom accommodations that can be added to any IEP.
