On-Demand Webinar: Available from September 13-December 13, 2024
Location: Zoom EST

Sponsored by: PROMPT Institute

You must have completed the Introduction to PROMPT Technique prior to participate. We understand that learning PROMPT can sometimes be an intimidating process. That’s why we are starting our new ADVANCE program for SLPs that want to proceed with confidence on what they learned in the Introduction to PROMPT workshop. The program will include the following: Four 90-minute group mentoring meetings led by PROMPT Instructors Set-by-step guidance and support through the project Evidence-based professional development Opportunities to connect and learn with other SLPs working through the project Manual Access to helpful resources Project review, which includes detailed constructive feedback from a PROMPT Instructor

Introduction to PROMPT - October 4-6, 2024 - Pittsburgh, PA

Location:

Duquesne University
Building: Fisher Hall
400 Fisher Hall
711 Forbes Avenue
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15282

Sponsored by: PROMPT Institute

Description:

PROMPT Institute
In this course you receive specialized training from a PROMPT Instructor with extensive clinical experience that you can apply right away. Following the completion of this course you will be able to immediately use different levels of PROMPT technique (Parameter, Surface, Complex, Syllable) in your practice. In other words, you will be able to use your hands to help clients move their articulators. You will walk away with an understanding of dynamic systems, treating the whole child, and applying the PROMPT assessment and treatment planning process.

Intro primarily focuses on the motor speech system (Physical-Sensory Domain). Highlights include an evidenced-based framework for identifying motor breakdowns, determining treatment targets, designing treatment sessions, applying technique through interactive case studies and practice opportunities. Easy-to-use resources are provided to allow you to put what you learn into practice. Once completed caregivers can find you on our website as being PROMPT trained, which can help you grow your practice.

Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of the Introduction to PROMPT: Technique workshop, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe the philosophy of PROMPT and its application principles.
  2. Apply different levels of PROMPTing (Parameter, Syllable, Complex, Surface) as appropriate to the selected cases.
  3. Analyze speech motor subsystems using the Systems Analysis Observation and Motor Speech Hierarchy.
  4. Design interactive therapy activities that utilize all of the above.

In-Person: Reimagining Speech-Language Pathology: Decolonizing Practices, Cultivating Criticality, and Embracing Pluralism - October 22

October 22, 2024 | 4:00 – 6:30 PM

Location:

Temple University Main Campus
Howard Gittis Student Center, Room 217 A/B
1735 N 13th Street, Philadelphia, PA  19123
(Corner of N 13 St and Montgomery Ave)

Description:
We will embark on a transformative imaginative journey to reconceptualize the role of Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) in society. We will delve into the historical formation of our discipline, connecting it to current perceptions and identities, while challenging the racism, ableism, and sexism that may underlie our professional practices. Through a critical lens, we will explore avenues to reshape our identity as SLPs, emphasizing a commitment to promoting pluralism and social justice, fostering meaning and impact by dismantling normative standards that perpetuate societal inequalities as part of our scope. Drawing on insights from decoloniality studies and responsive teaching frameworks, we will examine the need for both institutional and individual-level changes to pave the way towards a more inclusive and socially just discipline. We will model and discuss practical strategies for infusing social justice, criticality, and cultural responsiveness into pre-service teaching, research, and clinical practice.

Treatment Strategies for the Improvement of Oral, Pharyngeal, Feeding/Swallowing, and Respiratory Coordination Function: The Child with Neuromuscular Involvement - November 27-28, 2024

Location: Medfield

Dates: September 27 and 28, 2024
9:10 am EST • 8:10 am CST • 7:10 am MST• 6:10 am PST (US)

Sponsored by: Education Resources, Inc.

Speakers: Rona Alexander, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-S, C/NDT

Description:

This 2-day webinar has been designed for professionals who have a foundation of knowledge in the components of typical and atypical oral motor, oral sensory, feeding/swallowing, respiratory, and general movement development and their interrelationship. Primary emphasis will be placed on the development of appropriate intervention programming for infants and children with neuromuscular involvement who exhibit problems in oral, pharyngeal, feeding, swallowing, phonatory, and respiratory coordination function. Strategies to improve oral motor, oral sensory, pharyngeal, rib cage, and respiratory musculature activity will be discussed as they relate to findings obtained during a comprehensive clinical assessment. Differences between intervention strategies appropriate for direct treatment and for carryover activities such as mealtime feeding will be delineated.
