Target Audience
Speech language pathologists who work with
stroke, traumatic brain injury, or progressive
neurologic disease
Description
This workshop offers an orientation to current clinical guidelines for assessment, diagnosis and treatment of adults with acquired apraxia of speech after stroke, trauma and progressive disease. The theme throughout will be practical implementation and consequences for clinicians and clients alike. The course will focus on criteria and methods for assessment and differential diagnosis.
Participants will have opportunities to practice their perceptual skills through audio and video illustrations. Additionally, hands-on measurement techniques will be demonstrated, as these are essential for justifying diagnostic impressions and documenting severity.
Several opportunities will be provided to test measurement and observation protocols on speech samples from persons with aphasia with and without apraxia of speech.
