Dates: 5/18/2019 to 5/18/2024
Accreditation:
ASHA CEUs: 0.2
PDH: 2.0
Description:
Pediatric traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are underreported, which means that many children and teens are not getting needed services to help with post-injury cognitive issues that, though often mild, can cause academic and other difficulties. This webinar will discuss recent advances in the characteristics, recovery trajectories, assessments, and interventions for children and adolescents with TBI. Discussion will include evidence-based approaches to assessment and treatment that SLPs can implement immediately in clinical practice. The speaker will also discuss the important role of the SLP as a multidisciplinary team member treating this patient population and advocating for patients/clients/families.
Learning Objectives:
You will be able to:
• Explain the most up-to-date information on the characteristics and recovery trajectories for children and adolescents with a traumatic brain injury
• Translate evidence-based assessment and treatment information for children and adolescents with TBI into clinical practice
• Generate a plan for advocating for the role of the SLP on a multidisciplinary team
Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
