Motor Speech Disorders for the Medical Speech-Language Pathologist

Motor Speech Disorders may sound like it should be the bread and butter of your work as an SLP (‘Speech’?IS the first word of your professional title, after all…)

…but this corner of the medical SLP profession is actually pretty tricky.

Not only do you need to have a deep understanding of neurophysiology, cranial nerves, upper motor neurons, lower motor neurons, site of lesion and their impact of damage/disease on speech subsystems, as well as evidence-based assessment and treatment tools…

But you likely have time-constraints and limited access to assessment and treatment materials, as well!

?This is exactly what Kaila Stipancic, Ph.D. CCC-SLP wants to help you solve in her 8-hour course, titled?Motor Speech Disorders for the Medical Speech-Language Pathologist.

“The idea with this course is to give practical tools to SLPs who work in medical settings to better assess and manage patients with motor speech disorders.”

-Kaila Stipanic, PhD CCC-SLP

This is an interactive course!

Make sure to eliminate all distractions when you show up to this course, because your perceptual skills will be put to the test.

Kaila brings dysarthria case studies and patient recordings to watch, listen to, and discuss.

Including video and audio files from Joseph Duffy’s publication entitled?“Evolve Resources for Motor Speech Disorders, 4th Edition”?that we got permission to use!

As Kaila teaches you, you don’t have to memorize every single feature of every single dysarthria type.

If you can understand what different parts of the nervous system are responsible for, you can easily infer the perceptual features associated with the different types of dysarthrias.

If you have a greater grasp of how lesion site can impact different speech subsystems, you can assess and treat with greater ease.

And Kaila shows you how to do all of that WITH your medical setting in mind.

Productivity demands and limited department funding make it difficult to follow lengthy standardized assessment and treatment plans.

This course provides solutions to that.
