Cracking The Code: Differential Diagnosis of Speech Sound Disorders
This 2-HOUR COURSE is designed to help you sharpen your diagnostic skills, enabling you to confidently distinguish articulation, phonological, and motor speech disorders. Through real case examples, practical frameworks, and clear clinical markers, this course will guide you step-by-step through the differential diagnosis process. If you’ve ever second-guessed whether a child’s errors stem from a phonological impairment, an articulation disorder, or a motor speech deficit, this course is for you. Empower your clinical decision-making and make your treatment more effective... because correct diagnosis is the key to successful intervention.
You'll learn to:
- Identify which key components of a thorough assessment should be considered for differential diagnosis of speech sound disorders (SSDs)
- Recognize when evaluation findings suggest the involvement of other specialists (e.g., orofacial myologist, ENT, craniofacial team, etc.)
- Interpret assessment findings to distinguish articulation disorders vs. phonological impairments vs. motor-based SSDs
- Apply diagnostic decision-making strategies to guide the selection of evidence-based treatment plans
- Recognize common diagnostic pitfalls and how to avoid misclassification of SSDs
Oral-Facial Exams & The Differential Diagnosis of SSD
This 1-hour replay of a live webinar will teach SLPs how to administer a thorough yet efficient oral-facial exam (OFE) and show how the information acquired can help in the differential diagnosis of speech sound disorders (e.g., articulation, phonological, and motor speech deficits). Videos of actual assessments demonstrate all aspects of an oral-facial exam administration.
What you'll learn:
- Which oral/facial structures and motor tasks should be evaluated
- Practical strategies for obtaining an OFE among young children
- How to interpret and write up findings
- How to determine if there are any structural or functional contributors to a child's speech sound disorder
- When to consider appropriate referrals
