Abstract:
There have been many recent and significant advancements in our understanding of stuttering via the genetic and neurological data. his fundamental change in how stuttering is conceptualized results in exciting new insights in effective stuttering assessment and optimized treatment strategies. This presentation will cover enough of the science of stuttering to provide SLPs with clear understanding of the disease and evidence-based treatment rationale. The vast majority of the course will focus on training SLPs in simple, practical, and effective assessment and treatment strategies across the lifespan. It is our goal that SLPs will leave this course with hope, confidence, and a clear understanding of stuttering, along with practical and executable strategies to effectively assess and treat stuttering across the lifespan.

NYSSLHA Annual Convention
Date of Meeting: May 2-4, 2024
Location: White Plains, NYLive: Untangling Auditory Processing Disorder
LIVE: Tuesday, May7, 2024
7:30 pm – 9:00 pm EST
0.15 ASHA CEU AvailablePresented by: Chanie Monoker, CCC_A , AAA, ASHA
Abstract:
The interplay between bottom-up and top-down processes only serves to make differential diagnosis more challenging, particularly when signs of different disorders present similarly. An understanding of the various approaches to diagnosing of auditory processing disorder (APD) and its differentiation from language processing and attention deficit disorders is key to accurate diagnosis. This course examines three distinct approaches to viewing APD. In this 3 hour (2 parts -1.5 hours each) we will dive into how this distinction ultimately can inform the remediation process.
Learner Outcomes:
After completing this course, participants will be able to:- Participants will be able to, apply the three commonly accepted diagnostic perspectives in healthcare to understand
the value and limitation of individual tests used for assessment of auditory processing.
Participants will, understand and clearly articulate the differentiation between APD and similarly
presenting conditions, including ADD and LPD.
Participants will be able to, design a remediation protocol that is more effective.
