Description

Course Description: This course presents current practices of assessment and treatment of children with Speech Sound Disorder (SSD) using a case-based approach where learners are asked to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios. Activities will promote learner self-reflection and integrate knowledge and practice to advance learning in the area of SSD, especially as related to children with cleft lip and/or palate. Cases will include multicultural and bilingual aspects. Parents will share their experiences with interprofessional care teams to demonstrate the impact of professionals on their families. An otolaryngology surgeon/researcher will also share his experiences as part of an interprofessional cleft lip and palate team, and his approach to medical management and speech-language care. This workshop will be held in Gallagher Theater in the Arizona Student Union. This venue seats 340, which will allow for social distancing as needed.
