Effective Speech Therapy Techniques for Correction of Compensatory Productions in Children with Velopharyngeal Insufficiency (VPI)
Date/Time: Tuesday, May 14th at 3:00 – 4:00 pm ET
Speaker: Ann W. Kummer, PhD, CCC-SLP, FASHA
Description: Speech-language pathologists often feel they do not have enough training in the treatment of patients with speech disorders due to VPI. This presentation will provide strategies to correct compensatory productions secondary to VPI and encourage the use of motor learning and motor memory principles for faster and more effective achievement of carryover.
Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this activity, learners will be able to:
- Determine which errors are obligatory and which are compensatory in order to recommend appropriate treatment.
- Apply sensory feedback techniques to increase awareness of correct versus incorrect productions so that the patient can learn how to self-correct.
- Apply the use of motor learning and motor memory principles for faster progress and more effective carryover.
Learning Outcomes:
At the completion of this activity, learners will be able to:
- Self-assess a gain in knowledge related to the treatment of patients with speech disorders due to VPI.
- Self-assess that they will be able to apply knowledge gained to their patient management, which will improve patient outcomes.
Live attendees must claim credit by June 18, 2024.
