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.

Summary: This session explores the practical impact of standardization and how it can be applied to address common questions, as well as the how the BabyVFSSImP measurement tool holds potential for elevating the standard of care for babies with oropharyngeal dysphagia.

Summary: Behavior regulation struggles are common issues facing not only school-based SLPs, but school districts as an entire entity across the nation. This course provides a general overview of behavior and its functions; background on the School Wide Positive Behavior Supports (SWPBIS) framework; and an in-depth look at evidence-based practices (EBPs), reinforcements, rewards, and consequences.

Summary: This session discusses the unique factors associated with school-based settings that can make implementation of research-based treatment for speech sound disorders (SSD) challenging. The speaker reviews key characteristics of evidence-based SSD intervention, discusses how these can be applied in school settings, and explores core involvement of speech-language pathology assistants in schools.

Summary: Impairments in laryngeal vestibule closure (LVC) are a major cause of aspiration during swallowing. Accurately identifying LVC impairment is a priority in dysphagia management as aspiration can occur if LVC is absent or delayed, or duration is reduced. However, this mechanism is often overlooked and underreported in the evaluation of swallowing and in swallowing research. This session discusses methods for incorporating LVC as a primary outcome measure in dysphagia diagnosis and management to increase diagnostic accuracy and optimize dysphagia management.

Summary: Medically complex neonates often face many challenges as they learn to feed and along the path of transitioning from tube to oral feedings. One of the most perplexing is how to progress oral feedings while the infant is still receiving positive pressure support for respiratory needs. This session explores different approaches to this challenge based on literature, clinical expertise, and multidisciplinary frameworks.

Summary: In order to select the appropriate treatment techniques for oral and pharyngeal dysphagia in adults, clinicians need to understand the physiology of swallowing. This introductory course discusses the principles of neuroplasticity and motor learning as they relate to the effects of injury to the central nervous system and the potential results of swallowing intervention. The presenter discusses examples of neuromuscular treatment for pharyngeal dysphagia and gives tips on analyzing evidence and applying a theory-driven approach.

Summary: The SLP scope of practice has expanded in recent years to include literacy; however, it can be difficult for school SLPs to carve out their role within the school literacy team. This course focuses on the relationship between the school SLP, reading specialist, and/or special education teacher and how SLPs can cultivate that relationship to provide unified interventions that promote school-wide student success. The speaker shares examples of how school-based SLPs have successfully integrated into the school literacy framework.

Summary: Written expression is one of the four major modalities (along with listening comprehension, spoken expression, and reading decoding and comprehension) that SLPs need to assess when identifying language and literacy disorders among school-age children and adolescents. This session shares a framework for analyzing the variety of tasks used for written language assessment on standardized tests and considers pros and cons of each to inform decisions regarding eligibility and dismissal. The session includes opportunities to practice applying a multilevel language analysis system to written language samples of students with varied profiles. This course is a recorded session from the 2022/2023 online conference "Assessment, Eligibility, and Dismissal in Schools: Strategies, Tools, and Decision-Making."

Summary: Dismissing students from intervention can be a difficult and sometimes contentious process. How do we determine when services for speech sound disorders are no longer warranted? This session explores modifying treatment conditions and intensity to achieve the best outcomes and using established exit criteria to make informed decisions about dismissal from services.
