The core LSVT LOUD Training and Certification Course is a two-day program designed to train speech-language pathologists and students in a voice/speech treatment technique for adults and children with motor speech disorders, with a specialty in Parkinson’s disease. The pediatric section of the course will provide more detailed information regarding research, treatment activities, and implementation in the pediatric populations.

What Will I Learn?

The key treatment concepts, efficacy data supporting treatment outcomes (including neural imaging data), details of treatment exercises and functional tasks, virtual hands-on practice, and practical considerations are taught. Application of LSVT LOUD to pediatric and adult motor speech disorders (e.g., multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, stroke) will be discussed. This training is offered for 1.2 ASHA CEUs.

1. Outline the rationale for the treatment of voice in motor speech disorders
2. Identify aspects of Parkinson’s disease and other neural conditions, and the impact they have on voice and speech
3. Explain the rationale for using LSVT LOUD for Parkinson’s disease and other adult orpediatric neurological conditions/disorders
4. Describe key paradigm shifts in LSVT LOUD rationale and methods
5. Discuss key elements of LSVT LOUD that are consistent with theories of motor learning and principles of neural plasticity
6. Identify characteristics of adults and children who would most likely benefitfromLSVT LOUD
7. Explain and demonstrate all aspects of LSVT LOUD, including daily exercises, speech hierarchy exercises, and calibration
8. Define recommendations for patients’ long-term carryover of LSVT LOUD
9. Explain the benefits of LSVT LOUD to physicians and other healthcareprofessionals
10. Discuss strategies for insurance coverage for LSVT LOUD
