CIAO Seminars - Apraxia, Dysarthria, and Global Aphasia

COURSE MENU

Course Description

Treating acquired speech and language disorders starts with a strong differential diagnosis evaluation. This course will guide the participant in recognizing the differences and then building a combination of treatment approaches to target the impairments. Participants will become familiar with tests including the Newcastle Dysarthria Assessment Tool, The Apraxia Speech Rating Scale, The Apraxia Battery for Adults Assessment, and Cognitive Test Battery for Global Aphasia. Evidence based treatment approaches will be discussed as well as some less researched clinical pathways. These techniques include Rhythm/rate control methods, and articulatory kinematic approaches The instructor will present case studies and guides on documentation. Therapists will leave with a well-rounded approach to acquired speech and language disorders to bring to the patients on Monday morning.

Reviews

Thsi was a great course. the presenter was very knowledgeable and provided an good amount of information that will be useful in the subacute setting.

Thank you! I feel like I learned more from this course than I did during my motor speech disorders class in graduate school.

- Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Jul 2024

Fabulous presentation! It was like multiple grad school courses wrapped together in a perfect review, with new "nuggets" of knowledge/ best practices sprinkled throughout. I wish I could shadow Lubna in real life and soak up more wisdom. Thank you for a wonderful day.

- Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Jul 2024

Thoroughly appreciated Lubna's knowledge and presentation skills along with her mix of traditional approaches and new approaches.

- Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Oct 2023

It was a ton of information with both overview and in-depth information. Personally, I would have liked it to have been broken down into various sections or over various days due to information overload. Overall, I think the speaker did a great job covering all of it. I am grateful for the recording so that I may review it over the next 2 weeks. Thank you Lubna and CIAO!

Nice presentation

- Live Streaming or Studio Audience, FL / Oct 2023

The speaker is very knowledgeable and experienced. As someone who also works in a SNF setting, I appreciated her perspective of the constraints of that environment in terms of evaluation and treatment. Also greatly appreciated the access to free materials, like the QAB and Newcastle. My biggest criticism is the time management of the course, especially the last hour which felt rushed, and the lack of some pertinent slides in the program. Overall I would recommend this course if the time management and organization issues are resolved.

Thanks, really appreciate the course and the printable tests.
