Description
This online speech pathology CEU course is offered for 0.1 ASHA CEUs. The clinical and scientific communities are showing interest in new avenues for dysphagia rehabilitation. Electrical stimulation for the treatment of swallowing impairments is among the most studied swallowing interventions in the published literature, yet many unanswered questions about its efficacy remain. Many speech-language pathologists who treat dysphagia are attending educational and training sessions to obtain certifications to use this technique. This online course provides a review of swallowing anatomy and physiology and the fundamentals of electrical stimulation. Also, the values and limitations of electrical stimulation for swallowing are reviewed, based on the published literature, to assist clinicians in decision-making for their clinical practice. Overall, learners will be able to use information obtained from this course to facilitate their independent critique of past and future studies, which is crucial for evaluating the possible effects of electrical stimulation.
Course Format: Downloadable Study Guide that follows along with the course videos. Flash Player 10 is required to view the course videos.

Intended Audience
Accreditation This program is offered for .1 CEUs (Intermediate level; Professional area).
Per our longstanding procedures with ASHA, we submit CEU information to ASHA quarterly, so your CEUs will be reflected as completed on the last day of that quarter. For instance, if you complete a course on December 7th, 2011, it will be reported to ASHA in January 2012, and it will be reflected in your ASHA account as completed on December 31st, 2011.
