OVERVIEW
Childhood Apraxia of Speech: The K-SLP Methods and Behavioral Strategies To Build Successful Vocal Communication is organized by Northern Speech Services (NSS) and will be held on Mar 16, 2018 at Saddle Brook Marriott, Bergen, New Jersey, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is Speech-language pathologists, ABA technicians, special education teachers, occupational therapists, and parents. The focus will be children ages 2-8 years with apraxia of speech and/or other speech sound disorders. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 0.6 ASHA CEUs.
Course Description :
Children who may have an adequate repertoire of consonants and vowels in isolation may not be able to coordinate the oral-motor movements necessary to produce and combine these phonemes to form syllables, words, phrases, and sentences on volitional control. These children may be unable to speak or maybe unintelligible speakers. They may even have difficulty executing the oral-motor movements necessary to produce isolated phonemes. These are the children who can benefit from the techniques taught in this course.
Course Objectives are :
• Understand and analyze a norm-referenced, standardized test which relates directly to this approach in order to identify this unique population of children.
• Use evaluation information to establish goals for single words and phrases.
• Implement a specific treatment approach using phonological processes to simplify the motor plans for CAS.
• Provide five lists of single words to target in therapy.
• List principles of motor learning for the acquisition vs. the retention stages of learning.
• Explain the importance of mixing and varying tasks/blocked vs. random practice.
