ArSHA Convention Program
9:00 am–10:30 am Session 2 Autism and the Brain: What is Going on Up Coronado I There? Part 1 Sydney Rice, MD, MS
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) Many of us wonder what makes us act the way that we do and we wonder why others act the way that they do. In particular, individuals who have autism have similarities in behavior and social interaction that are likely founded in differences in brain structure and physiology. What is our present understanding of differences seen in the brains in individuals with autism? How might these changes affect behavior and social interactions? We will review the most recent research findings on brain anatomy, structure and physiology in individuals with autism
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to list at least three brain structures that have been associated with autism, describe how differences in brain structures in individuals with autism explain differences in behavior seen in autism, and describe the concept of pruning and how pruning may be important in understanding the brain in autism. Part 2 of this session will take place 11:00 am-12:30 pm (Session 7)
Session 3 Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and the Agave Ballroom Impact on Stuttering and Fluency - Part 1 Joseph Donaher, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-F
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by reduced attention, increased impulsivity and increased hyperactivity. Additionally, ADHD has been linked with excessive talking and frequent disfluencies. This session will introduce the key characteristics of ADHD, discuss the emerging literature on ADHD and stuttering, and explore clinical intervention strategies.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to determine the diagnostic criteria and key characteristics of ADHD, identify various ways in which ADHD can affect a child’s ability to communicate effectively, discuss the literature base regarding stuttering, disfluency and ADHD, and describe intervention strategies based on specific speech patterns commonly demonstrated by children with ADHD. Part 2 of this session will take place 11:00 am-12:30 pm (Session 8)
Session 4 Interhemispheric Auditory Processing: Lab to Joshua Tree II Clinic Frank Musiek, PhD, CCC-A
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) Split brain research has lead to increased knowledge both in the basic and clinical sciences. It has opened the door to a better understanding of neuroanatomy as well as interhemispheric function and dysfunction. There have also been contributions to clinical understanding of interhemispheric transfer of auditory information. This, in turn, has bolstered our insight to the evaluation of various kinds of auditory processing disorders. This presentation will initially focus on the anatomy of the corpus callosum which is surprisingly specific and relatively straightforward. The physiology of interhemispheric interaction is highly invested in understanding the effects of human split brain surgery and this perspective will be folded into this segment of the presentation. Using the split brain as a model for auditory transcallosal interaction, a variety of disorders that can affect callosal function will be discussed. Derived from these dysfunctions will be an auditory profile that can be applied in the clinical arena. Also presented will be the key role that myelin has in the long maturational course of the corpus callosum and how demyelination is associated with aging as well as a number of neurological disorders . Also offered will be not only diagnostic but intervention strategies that have evolved from information on split brain effects on central auditory function.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to describe pertinent neuroanatomy of the corpus callosum, discuss the nature of auditory tests measuring interhemispheric dysfunction and outline key disorders that may compromise interhemispheric transfer.

Friday’s Sessions8:00 am–8:45 am Keynote Address Session 1 Split Brain Research: A Personal Perspective Turquoise I-II Frank Musiek, PhD, CCC-A
(Instructional Level – Introductory) Split brain research has perhaps impacted our knowledge of the brain as much as any category of research over the past 50 plus years. With advances in controlling seizure disorder, commissurotomy surgeries have dwindled and split brain investigations have almost stopped. It seems appropriate to review some of the many advances brought to us by this unique kind of research. This presentation will provide a personal perspective of the speaker who was on the research team at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center when the commissurotomy procedure was reintroduced in the late 1970’s and 1980s. A history of split brain research will be reviewed highlighting key advances and the people behind these advances. Also provided will be a “behind the scenes” look at this amazing time in neurological surgery and research. In addition, a perspective on how this research, which likely lead to Roger Sperry’s Nobel prize, was viewed by patients, medicine and scientists.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to discuss the history of split brain research, outline key advances in brain research resulting from commissurotomy surgery and discuss the rationale for split brain surgery.

9:00 am–10:30 am Session 5 Medicare 101 Joshua Tree I Lisa Naylor, MA, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Introductory) Medicare laws, regulations and oversight require audiologists and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to understand the current rules and make informed decisions. There has been increased attention by Medicare and the Office of the Inspector General for audits, resulting in a recovery of funds, or in extreme cases, prosecution for fraudulent billing practices. Not knowing the rules is not an excusable reason in a Medicare audit and the rules change annually. Audiologists and SLPs need resources and mentors to help them navigate the ever-changing Medicare system. The state associations and ASHA have partnered to create a Network of local members to assist audiologists and SLPs with their Medicare questions and refer to ASHA for additional technical assistance. The State Advocates for Medicare Policy (StAMPs) meet monthly to discuss current topics, rules and trends specific to Medicare audiology and speech-language pathology services. This presentation will assist members with understanding some of the fundamentals about Medicare and connect them to their StAMP representative.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to identify the StAMP representative and the mechanism to contact them with questions, describe the difference between Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B services and locate the online Medicare enrollment tool
Session 6 Speaking and Swallowing With Noninvasive Coronado II Positive-Pressure Ventilation (NPPV) Deanna Britton, PhD, CCC-SLP; Jeannette Hoit, PhD, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) Many people with neuromuscular impairments (such as muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and spinal cord injury) are not able to breathe on their own and require a ventilator (respirator) to sustain life. The ventilator must also be used to support speech; however, ventilator-supported speech is often abnormal because the way the ventilator delivers the breath is different than the way that a healthy individual moves air in and out of the lungs. Some work has been done to improve speech in ventilators that are connected to the person via a tracheostomy (Garguilo, et al. 2013; Hoit, et al. 2003; Lohmeier and Hoit 2003; Prigent, et al. 2010). However, in medical practice there has been a recent movement away from tracheostomy and an increased use of a noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) where the ventilator-delivered air is routed through the mouth and/or nose. This form of ventilation poses a completely different set of challenges for speaking and swallowing, including coordination of speaking and swallowing with breathing. In this presentation, we will provide an overview of NPPV, along with preliminary data from a qualitative study examining the impact of NPPV on speaking and swallowing in individuals with neuromuscular disorders.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to describe selected forms of NPPV, understand the potential impact of various forms of NPPV on speaking and understand the potential impact of various forms of NPPV on swallowing.

11:00 am–12:30 pm Session 9 Living Better Through Assistive Technology Joshua Tree II Heidi Lervik, MA
(Instructional Level – Introductory) Speech-language pathologists and audiologists often struggle to determine which assistive technology would best meet their patients’ needs. Speech and hearing professionals spend valuable time researching equipment options which, in turn, limits important clinical time with the patient. Additionally, many patients purchase expensive equipment which is often unused or abandoned. AzTAP aims to address these issues by providing resources, demonstrations and complimentary loaner equipment.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to identify the nine categories of technology AzTAP provides, appropriately refer patients for AzTAP services and identify the two types of financial resources AzTAP provides.
Session 10 Recruitment and Retention of Related Service Joshua Tree I Providers in Arizona Schools Catherine Bacon, MA, CCC-SLP; Jennine Davidson, MEd
(Instructional Level – Introductory) A Community of Practice has been recently formed to address the shortage of speech-language pathologists in Arizona’s schools. This group of stakeholders includes representation from the Arizona Department of Education/Exceptional Student Services, institutions of higher education (including NAU, U of A, ASU, Midwestern and Estrella Community College), public education agencies, local and national professional organizations, students and parents who are all collaborating to improve recruitment and retention of speech, occupational and physical therapists for our Arizona Schools. This presentation will provide updates on the activities of the group and plan for the community of practice to begin to develop solutions to address speech-language, occupational and physical therapy services in schools across the state of Arizona.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to identify the challenges in recruitment and retention of SLPs, OTs, and PTs to Arizona schools, describe how professionals, parents, teachers and administrators can join the Community of Practice on the recruitment and retention of related service providers and list possible solutions to address the shortage of speech-language services in the schools.
Session 11 Consideration of Pulmonary Defenses and Coronado II Function in Dysphagia Assessment Deanna Britton, PhD, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) An important objective in the assessment of swallowing includes an estimation of the individual’s relative risk for development of aspiration pneumonia. Owing to the multi-factorial complexity in individual risk for pneumonia, it is challenging for speech-language pathology clinicians to accurately estimate risk for development of aspiration pneumonia. A solid understanding of human pulmonary defenses and measures of pulmonary function can aid clinical decision making in the context of dysphagia assessment. A review of research and theory behind human pulmonary defenses will be provided, along with a basic tutorial in interpretation of selected measures of pulmonary function.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to describe pulmonary defense mechanisms, interpret selected measures of pulmonary function and understand how impairments of pulmonary defense mechanisms can contribute to risk for pneumonia.

1:30 pm–3:00 pm Session 12 Behavioral Challenges and Children With Coronado I Language Impairment Kacey Chandler, PhD, NCSP
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) Language is the number one vehicle for children to access their wants and needs as well as engage in social interaction. Impaired language disrupts one’s ability to effectively interact with peers and adults and establish relationships on all levels. Research has established a positive correlation between language skills and behavioral regulation in children. Communication and behavior disorders are common comorbid conditions. In fact, it is not uncommon for children with emotional disabilities and learning disabilities to have language delay in early childhood. Moreover, all children with autism have communication challenges. Many language impaired children have communication challenges throughout elementary and middle school years. Language services are often dismissed when children reach high school age. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are the psychoeducational team members charged with the task of evaluating and intervening with dysfunctional communicators; however, these language impaired children are complex beings often requiring behavioral intervention as well. The flip side of this dilemma is that psychologists and behavioral specialists who intervene with maladaptive behaviors of children may miss critical sources of the behavior if the nuances of the child’s communication challenges are overlooked. Inclusion of the SLP in the process of conducting a functional behavior assessment is critical in determining the source of maladaptive behavior in many children. SLP expertise is also critical in the process of developing an effective behavioral support plan. Collaborative efforts from all team members supporting behaviorally dysregulated children are imperative in developing effective interventions.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to identify comorbid disorders with language impairment in children, identify steps to developing a functional behavior assessment for behaviorally dysregulated children with communication impairment and identify interventions to support behavioral regulation in language impaired children.
Session 13 AAC in the Borderlands: What We Need to Know Agave Ballroom Sharon Hendrickson-Pfeil, MEd, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) This is a clinical presentation focusing upon AAC services provided to Spanish-speaking children and adults in Arizona. The field as it applies to this population is reviewed from a historical perspective. Advances in language options will be reviewed and available AAC device vocabularies and Spanish AAC apps will be described and discussed with reference to specific populations. The discussion will include a review of Spanish vocabularies for Saltillo’s TouchChat Suite, Spanish WordPower based vocabularies, Proloquo 4.1’s bilingual vocabulary and Unity based vocabularies, and AVAZ Español. The advantages of providing AAC users with access to the language of the home are discussed, and videotaped conversations with Spanish-speaking parents are included. Culturally appropriate strategies for inclusion of family members in device selection, customization of vocabulary and device training are presented.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to compare and contrast three Spanish AAC vocabularies available for AAC users, name three barriers to successful AAC outcomes in the Spanish-speaking community, describe three strategies helpful in supporting families as they facilitate AAC device usage across multiple communication contexts and list three considerations in customizing vocabulary for bilingual users.
Session 14 Real-Time Embedded Coaching Joshua Tree II Catherine Creamer, MEd, LSLS Cert. AVEd
(Instructional Level – Intermediate)
This presentation will focus on the specific strategies and techniques of Real-Time Embedded Coaching. Real-Time Embedded Coaching is the process of a person who has specific knowledge or skills coaching a parent, caregiver, student or other provider during the process of the activity rather than waiting for the activity to be over to provide suggestions and feedback. Organization of a Real-Time Embedded Coaching session
is based on the characteristic of coaching outlined in The Early Childhood Coaching Handbook (Rush & Shelden, 2011) and includes joint planning, observation, action/practice, reflection and feedback. The focus of the session will be on the skills needed to provide embedded coaching, identifying areas of strength and those that need support, identifying strategies and techniques in a Real-Time Embedded Coaching session and planning a coaching session.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to identify three reasons to use Real-Time Embedded Coaching, identify three strategies that will support Real-Time Embedded Coaching, and explain and demonstrate Real-Time Embedded Coaching.
1:30 pm–3:00 pm Session 16 Transitioning Into the Best Therapist for the Coronado II Transgender Client Janet Hawley, MS, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) Speech-language pathologists are ideal providers for transgender individuals who want to develop gender-congruent communication behaviors because of our understanding of the mechanics of behavior change, as well as our training in voice, verbal and non-verbal language. This presentation will include evidence-based and creative approaches to working with these individuals.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to list five vocal features to target in voice feminization therapy, compare and contrast male versus female language behaviors and list five stereotypical female and five stereotypical male non-verbal behaviors.

1:30 pm–1:45 pm College Athletes, Classrooms and Concussions Shauna Baker, MS, CCC-SLP; Tamiko Azuma, PhD
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) Athletes who participate in contact sports have an increased likelihood of experiencing concussions and post-concussive syndrome (PCS). PCS is often associated with attention and memory impairments, which can detrimentally affect academic performance. Specific cognitive consequences of PCS include reduced processing speed, working memory (WM) deficits, and selective, divided and sustained attention impairments (e.g., Cicerone and Azulay, 2002). These cognitive deficits may be relatively subtle and less noticeable until the individual must perform tasks with high attentional and WM demands, such as those required in college classes. In addition to encoding lecture material and monitoring verbal information for notes, a student must also inhibit irrelevant or distracting information. This study examined verbal memory and attention in college athletes with a self-reported history of concussion. Participants learned information in a lecture format and then completed a memory test. They were also administered WM and attention tasks. Analyses focused on assessing the predictive power of those task scores on memory test performance.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to identify academic performance issues in student athletes with a history of concussion, describe how working memory relates to note-taking and lecture test performance and list one way in which to provide accommodations to this population.

1:45 pm–2:00 pm Comparing Two Children With Speech Deficits and Overlapping Chromosomal Deletions Amna Fares, MS, CCC-SLP; Caitlin Vose, MS, CCC-SLP; Hope Lancaster, PhD; Beate Peter, PhD, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) Current research suggests genetic etiologies for a variety of communication disorders. This study investigates the speech patterns of two children with speech sound disorders (SSDs) and overlapping deletions on chromosome 6. We show evidence that the overlapping deletions are associated with specific characteristics of their SSDs and differences in severity.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to describe chromosomal deletions, understand the association of chromosomal deletion and speech characteristics, and relate the implications of genetic variations to clinical practice.
2:00 pm–2:15 pm Student Health Outreach for Wellness: Health Literacy for the Homeless Jean C. Brown, MA, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) The purpose of this session is to present the Student Health Outreach for Wellness Literacy Project. The project’s focus is to screen the health literacy and cognitive skills of homeless adults by fostering interprofessional student education and promoting self-advocacy by clients when interacting with their health care providers. A secondary purpose is to recruit speech-language pathologists in the community to undergraduate and graduate students as they interact with other pre-service professionals.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to describe the purpose of the Student Health Outreach for Wellness project.
2:15 pm–2:30 pm Ultrasound Imaging of Swallowing Subsequent to Feeding and Myofunctional Interventions Michelle McKay; Juliet Weinhold, PhD, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Introductory) The purpose of this project was to examine swallowing patterns using ultrasound technology. Ultrasound research in the realm of swallowing is sparse, yet has potential clinical application. In using ultrasound, this study outlines a protocol for utilization of a hand-held probe and reinforces a particular protocol described in the literature. Real-time ultrasound recordings of swallows for 21 adult subjects were made. Baseline swallow patterns were compared to swallows after implementation of one therapeutic intervention common in both feeding and myofunctional therapy, and one intervention more commonly associated with myofunctional therapy. Changes in swallowing patterns are described, and similarities of interventions across the two professions are discussed. Participants with oromyofunctional disorder are compared to a group with typical swallowing and differences in ultrasound patterns are described. Analysis includes relative duration of swallowing stages compared to the total duration of the swallow, measurements of tongue height after implementation of the interventions and the number of swallows required for the bolus to be cleared from the oral cavity.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to identify oral structures on an ultrasound display.
3:30 pm–5:00 pm Session 18 Sentences to Stories: Spoken Language RtI Coronado I With At-Risk Learners Colin Macpherson, MA, CCC-SLP; Katie Squires, PhD, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) This session will report the findings of an implementation study that addressed the use of a Response to Intervention (RtI) approach for oral language instruction. The use of a universal screening tool for language (i.e., Structured Photographic Expressive Language Test Preschool 2), student tier assignment, teacher education for tier 1 and 2 instruction, dialogic book reading curriculum design and the role of the SLP in the RtI project will be discussed. Data obtained through universal language screening at three different time points will be presented at both individual and group level of statistical comparison. Language facilitation approaches utilized across all three tiers of oral language instruction will be discussed in detail. Findings from this preliminary study suggest that the use of an RtI model for oral language instruction may assist the SLP in identifying and supporting children with weak oral language skills in the regular education classroom.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to describe the relationship between Low-SES status, oral language skills and academic underachievement, describe the essential components of an RtI approach for oral language instruction and identify and describe oral language instruction and intervention approaches appropriate for different tiers of instruction.
Session 19 Assistive Technology Tools & Strategies to Agave Ballroom Support Executive Functions in the Classroom Mary Keeney, MA, CCC-SLP; Ann Gortarez, MEd
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) You know what executive dysfunction looks like in the classroom, but do you know what to do about it? Come to this fast-paced session and get your hands on lots of AT supports, from low tech to high tech and everything in between. Bring your camera!
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to match AT tools with executive dysfunction, identify at least three places to obtain AT tools for trial use in public school settings and list at least three barriers to classroom success imposed by executive dysfunction.
Session 21 What IDEA Says, What Parents Say and What it Joshua Tree I Means Fe Murray, EdD, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) This study looked at what families experienced at IEP meetings. Five families of children with speech-language disorders participated in this study. Qualitative analysis of the interviews completed before and after the meetings revealed three common emergent themes: a subordinate relationship, negotiating subordination and undeniable caring. The experiences of the families in this study are reported at an individual level; however, larger institutional and ideological contexts may have played a role in how these families experienced the IEP meeting. Recommendations made based on best practices encourage collaboration and cultural reciprocity between Dinè parents and schools. The data gathered through this study could potentially promote knowledge of the special education system among the Navajo community, empower parents of all ethnicities, and promote collaboration between speech-language pathologists, special education providers and caregivers.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to compare/contrast what the federal law says about the role of the parent in an IEP meeting, versus what Navajo parents in this study perceived their role to be, identify the emergent themes experienced during the IEP process by the parents in this case study and list three recommendations to encourage true collaboration between families of children with special needs, and schools.

3:30 pm–5:30 pm Session 22 Beginning With the End in Mind: Outcome Coronado II Based Aphasia Treatment Stephanie Christensen, PhD, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) This session will review the components of the Living with Aphasia-Framework for Outcome Measurement (A-FROM; Kagan et al., 2008) model. Several approaches to treatment will be reviewed (e.g. impairment based approaches, psychosocial approaches) in regard to the A-FROM model. The effects of different treatment approaches on outcome across the domains of aphasia severity, life participation, and personal and environmental factors will be discussed. Participants will be asked to consider their own approach to aphasia treatment in light of the domains of the A-FROM model. Through an interactive session, participants will learn to address aphasia treatment across the continuum of care using backward design principles. By reframing their typical treatment approach within the model discussed, participants will learn to tailor their treatment to make the greatest impact in the lives of clients with aphasia.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to list the four domains of the A-FROM model, identify which components of the A-FROM model different treatment approaches target, identify two new ways they can adapt their typical treatment approach to begin with the end in mind and have a greater impact on the life of a person with aphasia.
3:45 pm–4:00 pm Applying Learning Theory to the Acquisition of Academic Vocabulary Ashley Bourgoyne, BS
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) This study was designed to determine if high-variability visual input would facilitate the development of conceptual representations of academic vocabulary for typical and language-learning disabled college-aged students. Students were trained on vocabulary in high- and low-variability conditions. Their learning was assessed via a post-test which required them to identify, out of a field of four, both trained and novel images. Participants also rated novel images, both accurate and inaccurate, on a scale of one to nine (accurate/inaccurate) in order to assess their conceptual representations of the new vocabulary. Results showed that both typical and language-learning disabled participants were equally accurate on trained and novel items in the high-variability condition, but were less accurate on novel items only in the low-variability condition, though the language-learning disabled participants showed less learning overall. Participants were more successful at rating accurate items in the high-variability condition than the low-variability condition, but were equivalently bad at successfully rating the inaccurate images. High-variability learning conditions may facilitate learner generalization to novel representations and recognition of accurate examples of academic concepts in typical and language-learning disabled college students.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to articulate why variability of input might be helpful for learners, identify the benefits of high-variability input on learning and identify the different effects of high-variability input on learning by typical learners versus individuals with language-learning disabilities.
4:00 pm–4:15 pm NTrainer: A Tool for Aiding Oral Skill in Pediatrics Keegan Gallagher, MS, CCC-SLP; Randi Morgan, MA, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) The NTrainer system is a medical tool typically used in the NICU to improve non-nutritive sucking with medically fragile newborns. However, our clinic has performed exploratory treatment with the NTrainer system to determine its effectiveness improving oral awareness and oral motor skills for feeding with children from a wide range of ages and diagnoses. The treatment protocol, findings and ongoing plans will be reviewed.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to describe the function of the NTrainer system, distinguish two populations that are appropriate to use the NTrainer system with and name three areas of improvement seen following NTrainer system use.

3:30 pm–3:45 pm Clear Speech Production in Real Versus Imagined Noise Conditions Alana Baxter, BA; Kate Bunton, PhD, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) A common recommendation for communication partners of people with hearing loss is to speak clearly, but how effective is this simple instruction? Can clear speech be affected by real or imagined background noise? This study examined the acoustic properties of conversational and clear speech produced under four different conditions. Twelve subjects (eight female, four male) with a mean age of 20 years were recorded reading three passages and a set of sentences under four conditions. The first condition for every subject was to read conversationally as though speaking to a friend. In the other three conditions, given in random order, subjects were instructed to speak as clearly as they could while listening to multitalker babble or speech shaped noise over headphones, or imagining that they were in a noisy room. Acoustic measures reflected rate, frequency and intensity. Results of this study will inform audiologists and speech-language pathologists about whether they are giving helpful instructions related to clear speech production to communication partners of hearing impaired patients.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to identify the importance of clear speech, describe conditions that elicit clear speech production and identify acoustic measures that reflect clear speech production.

(Instructional Level – Intermediate) Children with moderate to severe speech sound disorders (SSDs), including childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) can present substantial challenges for the SLP. However, there are ways to increase effectiveness in assessing and treating the speech of these children. This session will expand on the understanding of speech development, integrating motor, somatosensory, auditory, linguistic and socio-cultural information. A thorough assessment protocol for SSDs and ways to differentiate CAS will be provided. Current treatment approaches that are effective in treating speech sound disorders will be presented, as well as ways to adapt treatment for the needs of individual children. We will explore motor learning principles as a foundation for treating motor-based SSDs. Assessment and treatment of bilingual children with SSDs will be included, emphasizing Spanish-English backgrounds.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to describe the articulatory and phonological components of speech development and speech sound disorder, describe current treatment approaches for moderate to severe speech sound disorders, including childhood apraxia of speech, utilize motor learning principles in treatment for speech sound disorder and adapt current treatment approaches to match the needs of individual clients. Part 2 of this session will take place 11:00 am-12:30 pm (Session 30)
Session 25 Dysphagia in Children With Neurodevelopmental Coronado II and Related Disorders Jennifer Casteix, MS, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) Children with neurodevelopmental and related disorders frequently have associated oral and/or pharyngeal dysphagia with possible silent aspiration. Quite often, parents and caregivers are not made aware of these risks, and therefore are not prepared to support the child in safe feeding and swallowing practices. Likewise, speech-language pathologists in school settings may not have the resources to support children with underlying dysphagia during the school day. In this session we will review some of these disorders and associated risks, and discuss ways to support safe eating and swallowing at home, at school and in the community.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to describe the differences between oral and pharyngeal dysphagia and associated risks with each, name at least one neurodevelopmental or related disorder that has been shown to have risk factors for oral and/or pharyngeal dysphagia and discuss ways to support safe eating and swallowing in a child with a neurodevelopmental or related disorder at home, school or in the community.

9:00 am–10:30 am Session 26 Socially Thinking - Practically Speaking: The Turquoise I & II Social Mind at Work and Play - Part 1 Pamela Crooke, PhD, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Introductory) Is it still enough to simply infuse and model good social “skills” in our classrooms? Interestingly, administrators, teachers and staff are reporting a spiral downward in the baseline skills of students entering into schools around the globe – both in general and special education settings. Surviving the boring moment, suppressing the blurt and knowing how to join the group should be considered as critical for success in school as language arts and math. The educational standards, when viewed with the right lens, provide a pathway for justifying targeted strategies for those students who excel in their science smarts, but struggle with social smarts. In this session, we will explore why it’s not enough to simply teach social rules and basic skills for some individuals with social learning issues. We will explore hands-on activities for tackling the skill, as well as the thinking. The Social Thinking® methodology is an evidence-based practice that allows for exploration of the basic underpinnings of the social mind, while providing ideas for teaching common sense strategies for negotiating the ever-changing social world. Skills needed by all students not only in achieving academic success, but also for success in adulthood and life in general.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to describe the differences between teaching social skills and social thinking, list two key social thinking vocabulary and the research base underlying each, describe three of the six layers of research-based evidence related to the Social Thinking methodology and discuss the impact of social media/technology on social emotional skills.Part 2 of this session will take place 11:00 am-12:30 pm (Session 32)
Session 27 Muscle Tension Dysphagia - Part 1 Joshua Tree II Christina Kang, MS, CCC-SLP; David Lott, MD
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) The objective is to introduce primary and secondary muscle tension dysphagia as a clinical classification of dysphagia. This is a primary laryngeal muscle tension disorder manifested as a swallowing disorder rather than a voice or breathing disorder. Symptomology, theoretical framework for diagnosis and algorithm for care will be discussed in-depth.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to describe multiple characterizations of laryngeal sensory neuropathy, describe disorders of laryngeal hyperresponsiveness, recommend appropriate treatment for patients with laryngeal muscle tension disorders and identify therapy techniques targeting unloading of laryngeal muscle tension.Part 2 of this session will take place 11:00 am-12:30 pm (Session 33)
Session 28 Current Developments for Patients Fit With Joshua Tree I Cochlear Implants Michael Dorman, PhD
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) This session will describe the outcomes of recent studies of patients fit with cochlear implants (CI). The patient groups will include single CI, bilateral CI, hearing preservation CI (i.e., low-frequency acoustic hearing in both the implanted ear and the contralateral ear), bimodal CI (CI plus low-frequency acoustic hearing in the contralateral ear) and single-sided deaf (SSD) fit with CI. The performance of the patients in these groups on tests of speech understanding in quiet and in complex listening environments (simulations of a restaurant and a cocktail party) and tests of sound source localization will be described. The value of having two ears (two CIs or two ears with low-frequency acoustic hearing) will be explored. Finally the interaction of visual information with speech understanding and sound source localization will also be explored.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to describe the speech understanding abilities of multiple groups of patients fit with a CI, describe the sound localization abilities of multiple groups of patients fit with a CI and describe the value of visual information for speech understanding by patients fit with a CI.

Session 31 Tongue Thrust Remediation - A Behavior Coronado II Modification Approach Joy Leslie, MS, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) Tongue thrust occurs when a client demonstrates a forward tongue position at rest, during speech and/or when swallowing. This tongue-forward position can negatively affect speech (frontal lisp) and dental growth (open bite, overbite). During this session, a behavior modification approach will be outlined and articulation strategies will be discussed.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to identify symptoms of tongue thrust, design a behavior modification approach to remediate incorrect oral postures, and list three therapy strategies to improve articulation skills affected by a tongue-forward position.

12:30 pm–12:45 pm Analysis of Tinnitus Support Group Management Questionnaires Hailey Corthell, BA; O’neil Guthrie, PhD, CCC-A; Megan MacIlroy, BS
(Instructional Level – Introductory)The Northern Arizona University (NAU) Tinnitus Support Group is a free and open forum for members of the community and university to share their experiences with each other and acquire information about tinnitus from providers/professionals (e.g., audiologists and psychologists) in the community. This support group was modeled after the American Tinnitus Associations Tinnitus Support Group Leader Help Book. This model can be likened to the third hierarchical level of the Progressive Audiologic Tinnitus Management, where group education is used to provide counseling by audiologists or other health providers (Henry et al, 2009). In order to continually improve the support group and acquire feedback on creating a new tinnitus clinic, a quality improvement questionnaire is provided to participants during the monthly meetings. This quality improvement questionnaire is an open set of questions regarding goals, suggestions and logistics for tinnitus support group meetings and a tinnitus clinic. Although, the information from the questionnaire will be used to improve the services we provide (e.g., improve the support group and design a future tinnitus clinic) at NAU, we also recognize that this information will be valuable to other providers and facilities across the country.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to list three benefits of a tinnitus support group, list three common logistical suggestions for a tinnitus support group posed by its members and identify focus areas for a tinnitus clinic.

1:00 pm–1:15 pm Thumb, Sumb, Fumb: Development of Interdental Fricatives Kelsey Raab, BA; Gretchen Bergstrand, BA; Anna Sosa, PhD, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Introductory)This study investigates the patterns of development of voiced and voiceless interdental fricatives in children ages 2;6 to 7;11 with typical speech and language. Word productions from the GFTA 2, EVT 2, CAAP 2 and SPAT D II were analyzed and patterns will be discussed. Preliminary results indicate that the production of /f/ for the voiceless interdental fricative is the most common substitution pattern among children ages 2;6-7;11. This process can therefore be considered “typical” with regard to development of the voiceless interdental fricative and, for the purpose of this research, has been named Interdental Fronting. Identification of this phonological process in typical speech and language development will aid clinicians in diagnostic decision-making and intervention planning.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to identify the primary substitution patterns of interdental fricatives in children ages 2;6-7;11, identify age groups with the highest and lowest variability of voiceless interdental fricative production and differentiate accuracy of interdental and non-interdental fricatives in syllable onset versus syllable coda positions (across age groups).

(Instructional Level – Intermediate) Join us for this session where we discuss obstacles and pose possible solutions to help you effectively work with a speech-language pathology assistant (SLPA). With rising caseloads and challenging students, we often find ourselves working tirelessly at our jobs. Working with an SLPA seems like more work, doesn’t it? Let’s debunk the myths and talk about the reality including both the pros and cons of using SLPAs. Topics will include licensure requirements and scope of work with examples of how other SLPs have found the use of an SLPA beneficial. Authorities on SLPA licensure and scope of practice in Arizona will answer the following questions as well as others you may have: How do I use an SLP/SLPA model to meet speech language needs? What are the best things an SLPA can assist me with? How do I keep good communication with my SLPA so we can efficiently meet the demands of a challenging caseload? What are the licensure requirements I need to be aware of? How do I document and provide appropriate supervision? What duties are best delegated to my SLPA? Is my license in jeopardy when I supervise an SLPA? How do I help my SLPA understand their role?
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to identify the licensure requirements for supervision of an SLPA, list three benefits of using an SLPA and identify what an SLPA can and cannot do per Arizona law.
Session 40 A-A-Ask a P-P-Person Who S-S-Stutters Joshua Tree II Judith Eckardt, MS, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Introductory) Speech-language pathologists will have the opportunity to ask questions to a panel of adults who stutter. These adults range in age from 21- 72 years and function “well” in life. What has helped them the most? When students train to be speech-language pathologists, their exposure to theory of stuttering development and therapy in course work is often very limited. The practicum for stuttering involving observation and practice is also minimal and students can graduate with no therapy experience. The kind of speech therapy that a person who stutters receives is often based upon the knowledge and training of their speech-language pathologist. The therapy procedures can focus on fluency shaping and/or fluency modification. However, is reduction of percentage of stuttering a measure of success? Or, is it a point in time measure that could quickly change in other communication situations? It is much more important to determine the negative effects of stuttering. Does your client have negative reactions to his stuttering such as feelings of helplessness, anger, shame, frustration and guilt? Consequently, the stutterer will develop many avoidance behaviors for different communication situations. Their career choices are often determined by how handicapping they perceive their stuttering to be. Maybe after hearing this adult panel of people who stutter, speech-language pathologists will begin to change their orientation in goal writing. Their orientation will focus on helping the clients reduce the negative experiences of stuttering with the primary goal being effective functional communication with some stuttering.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to state why using “percentage of stuttering” is dangerous in writing IEP Goals, state five possible negative effects of stuttering upon a child or student and write three IEP goals to reduce specific negative effects of stuttering.

ArSHA Convention Program
1:30 pm–3:00 pm Session 41 Hearing Loss, Cognition and Healthy Aging - Joshua Tree I Part 1 Nicole Marrone, PhD, CCC-A; Suzanne Moseley, MA; James Shehorn, BS; Elizabeth Glisky, PhD
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) In this session, we will adopt a healthy aging approach to understanding the cognitive and psychosocial consequences of hearing loss with implications for clinical practice in audiology, speech-language pathology and psychology. There is an increasing public health interest in the connections between acquired hearing loss and health in older adulthood. Older adults with and without hearing loss are at risk for experiencing speech communication difficulties. Communication challenges are often under-diagnosed and under-managed, which may negatively impact quality of life and health. Collaborative research efforts are beginning to illuminate the associations between hearing loss and various health outcomes including cognition, but a comprehensive model is still lacking. Although cognitive impairment may contribute to communication problems, it is also likely that hearing loss itself contributes to problems in cognition, via increased cognitive load, changes to brain structure and function, and/or social disengagement. A major question is whether hearing loss is a modifiable risk factor for adverse cognitive and health outcomes. We will review existing and emerging evidence on how hearing loss and cognition are interrelated and consider the implications within the context of illustrative cases. Among the issues to be addressed are common clinical challenges, such as navigating differential diagnosis in a population in which both hearing loss and cognitive impairment are prevalent. Interventions and strategies to support communication, cognition and psychosocial health throughout older adulthood will be discussed.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to discuss the evidence on the links between hearing loss, cognition and healthy aging, identify the impact of hearing ability on common tests of cognitive ability and explain how speech-language pathologists and audiologists can provide support to older adults with hearing loss and their families.Part 2 of this session will take place 3:30 pm-5:00 pm (Session 47)
Session 42 Language Basis of Reading Comprehension: Agave Ballroom Profiles, Assessments and Interventions - Part 3 Tiffany Hogan, PhD, CCC-SLP (Instructional Level – Intermediate) Part 4 of this session will take place 3:30 pm-5:00 pm (Session 48)See Session 29 for abstract and learner outcomes.
3:30 pm–5:00 pm Session 43 Assessment/Treatment of Speech Sound Coronado I Disorders in Monolingual and Bilingual Children - Part 4 Christina Gildersleeve-Neumann, PhD, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) See Session 24 for abstract and learner outcomes.
Session 44 Common Elements in Therapeutic Approaches Coronado II to Apraxia Barbara Dabul, PhD, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) The motor speech disorder of apraxia has been difficult to remediate in both adults and children. Beyond developing her own therapeutic approach to apraxia (published in 1976), the presenter has spent almost forty years identifying the common elements in successful treatments for apraxia. In this session, those elements will be listed, defined and described. They will then be applied to popular treatments and participants will be invited to share treatments they are currently using or planning to use for examination of the presence of these elements.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to demonstrate the “feel” of apraxia by repeating exercises performed in the session, list and describe up to ten common elements in successful approaches to apraxia, apply the list of elements to at least one common therapeutic approach and assess that approach’s potential for success with their client.

3:30 pm–5:00 pm Session 45 Guidance Document for School Based SLP/SLTs Turquoise I & II and Intervention Strategies Crystal Brooks, MA, CCC-SLP; Mary Keeney, MA, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Intermediate) The Arizona Department of Education along with several participating SLPs around the state have created a document to provide guidance to those working in the school based setting. This document will be reviewed, highlighting topic areas addressed and how to use this document to promote the value of the SLP/SLT. Learn more about the special education process, the IDEA templates to support screenings and intake, evaluations that guide evidence based practice within the IEP and practices that support the unique cultural and linguistic diversity within Arizona.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to understand the purpose of the guidance document, use the guidance document to promote best practice in the school based setting, use the guidance document to promote the value of the SLP/SLT in the school based setting.
Session 46 Realize Language: Using Data Collection to Joshua Tree II Guide AAC Intervention LaConda Walker, MA; Jeremy Legaspi, MS, CCC-SLP
(Instructional Level – Introductory) Creating evidence-based goals with augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) users can often be time consuming, confusing and difficult. Data collection methods exist on AAC systems but often times this data isn’t collected and used to guide therapy plans. Realize Language is a new online service that gives parents and professionals powerful ways to monitor, measure and maximize a child’s use of an AAC speech device. This session will discuss language development and how to use data collection from AAC devices with Realize Language to help guide intervention and develop evidence-based goals.
Learner Outcomes: At the completion of this presentation, participants will be able to identify and describe Brown’s five stages and how they relate to the process of goal writing, identify and describe three evidence based instruments to use when conducting a language sample with an AAC user and identify five ways in which Realize Language assists in guiding intervention.
Session 47 Hearing Loss, Cognition and Healthy Aging - Joshua Tree I Part 2 Nicole Marrone, PhD, CCC-A; Suzanne Moseley, MA; James Shehorn, BS; Elizabeth Glisky, PhD

ArSHA Praxis Bowl
Friday, April 295:30 pm (.1 CEU)
ArSHA is excited to announce the 6th Annual Praxis Bowl competition for Arizona’s university programs. Top students from graduate programs throughout the state have been invited to test their knowledge and mental speed as they answer Praxis test questions in a fun, competition style setting. All students, faculty, interested alumni and curious Convention attendees are encouraged to attend to test your own knowledge and cheer on your favorite team! Come early for Happy Hour starting at 5:00 pm.
University teams comprised of top-notch students compete in a “quiz bowl” format to see which team can answer the most Praxis practice questions correctly! This session is designed for students preparing to take the Praxis examination, as well as professionals who want to refresh their basic knowledge skills while learning in a fun, interactive and competitive environment.
Learner Outcomes: After attending this session, participants will be able to identify the nature of speech, language, hearing, swallowing and communication disorders; including etiologies, characteristics, anatomical/physiological, acoustic, psychological, developmental, and linguistic and cultural correlates, identify evaluation procedures for speech, language, hearing, swallowing and communication disorders, identify interventions for speech, language, hearing, swallowing and communication disorders.
Level of Instruction: Intermediate
