Maximizing the Motor Speech Evaluation: A Crash Course for the Acute Care Speech-Language Pathologist - 90-Minute
90-Minute Live
December 1, 2022
2:00 pm – 3:30 pm MTPresented by Allison Hilger, PhD, CCC-SLP
Abstract:
Dysarthria is a disorder of the execution of speech which can negatively affect speech intelligibility naturalness with detrimental effects on communicative participation and quality of life. Dysarthria etiology includes numerous neurologic diseases, such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Despite this relationship, motor speech diagnostics are often under-utilized in the busy acute care setting. The potential contribution to differential neurologic diagnosis may therefore be overlooked. In addition, dysarthria patients report under-referral to speech therapy services, suggesting an assessment gap may negatively impact future intervention. This presentation will overview evidence-based procedures for motor speech assessment, propose a framework for efficient interpretation of evaluation findings and suggest directions for treatment planning.Learner Outcomes:
At the completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:- Identify and list neurological conditions associated with subtypes of dysarthria.
- Describe symptoms associated with dysarthria subtypes and associated neurological conditions.
- Create relevant goals based on a subsystem approach.
Time-Ordered Agenda:
- 15 minutes: Introduction to motor speech disorders: dysarthria and apraxia of speech
- 15 minutes: Why diagnosis of motor speech disorders is important for acute care
- 15 minutes: Assessing motor speech disorders when you know the neurological diagnosis
- 15 minutes: Assessing motor speech disorders when the neurological diagnosis is unknown
- 15 minutes: Using assessment findings to develop goals using a subsystem approach
- 15 minutes: Questions
About the Presenter:
Allison Hilger, PhD, CCC-SLP is the Principal Investigator of the CO Motor Speech Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder. She started at CU in 2020 after graduating with her PhD from Northwestern University. Allison’s research interests include auditory feedback control in speech, phrasal prosody in dysarthria, and the acoustics of speech for aerosol generation.

Trauma-Informed Voice Care - 90-Minute
90-Minute Recording
This recording will be available from November 1 to November 30, 2022Presented by Geneva Mayne, SLPD, CCC-SLP
Abstract:
Voice professionals may encounter patients and clients experiencing emotional distress. Trauma is a psychosocial risk factor in patients with functional voice disorders (FVDs), which are functional neurological disorders (FNDs) with “speech symptoms” (American Psychiatric Association, 2022). In FNDs, patients’ primary complaints are usually somatic symptoms though they may have co-occurring psychological stressors and dissociative symptoms. Patients and clients may not feel comfortable disclosing a trauma history. Practitioners, however, can practice trauma-informed voice care with or without trauma inquiry or disclosure.Learner Outcomes:
At the completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:- Identify and explain how social determinants of health (SDOHs) may contribute to trauma symptoms in patients with functional neurological disorders with communication symptoms such as muscle tension dysphonia.
- List the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) four assumptions of trauma-informed care.
- Recognize how trauma-informed practices may advance health equity for vulnerable populations seeking voice care.
- Recognize relevant ethical considerations within the SLP scope of practice and competence.
Time-Ordered Agenda:
- 15 minutes: Introduction
- 15 minutes: Social Determinants of Health and Trauma
- 30 minutes: Trauma-Informed care and Health Equity
- 15 minutes: Trauma-Informed Care and the SLP Scope of Practice
- 15 minutes: Questions
