Course Description

This course has been designed to help professionals understand what Childhood Apraxia of Speech is and how we can differentiate this from other speech sound disorders.

We discuss various options for assessment and a resource has been provided for immediate use. Once a diagnosis or suspected diagnosis has been confirmed, we discuss how to use this information to determine appropriate target words.

We review the Principles of Motor Learning and discuss how we can use these principles to help get more bang for our buck within treatment sessions.

The steps of Dynamic Temporal and Tactile cueing are reviewed in order for appropriate use and fading of prompting so ensure increased motor learning for our students and clients.

It was perfect. Dawn was engaging. She gave relevant information and examples. I would have liked a few more examples of therapy materials and ideas that might be used.

Dawn

The presenter was engaging and informative. Could always use more Q&A. I had fun and am glad I did it

Deborah

Excellent, engaging, knowledgeable speaker, clear, etc. Maybe spending less time on the checklists to prepare and more. I would have liked to see examples of therapy (videos), more time on actual therapy and therapy ideas, small group breakout session so that we could discuss our experiences and help each other out, networking with other teletherapists. Liked the platform used, very clear presentation, excellent, thank you

Dawn was very encouraging and promoted out of the box thinking. Too much time dedicated to virtual set-up vs. therapy with telepractice.
