Neurology for the Speech-Language Pathologist: From Tracts to Treatment
Presented by Anna Fink Swindle, CCC-SLP, CBIS
Learner Objectives:
- Identify relevant anatomy as well as key circulatory structures of the nervous system
- Define multiple neurology diagnostic tools, speech pathology-specific assessment considerations, and cognitive-linguistic treatment approaches
- Apply knowledge regarding anatomy and lesion location in order to generate treatment ideas for real-world application

“I feel so much more confident in my skills to assess a patient and complete a cranial nerve exam, while reflecting on the exact neurological deficits based on lesion/location. This is the class I was missing in grad school - the neuroscience + direct clinical application. Thanks so much, Anna! You are fantastic!”
"The course was great! It was helpful to first review anatomy relevant to our practice before diving into assessment and case application. I can directly apply the information I learnt to my practice. I would recommend this course!"
“This course provided a thorough lecture on neuroanatomy paired with thoughtful case applications. As an SLP who works in acute care and out-patient setting, Anna did a great job providing examples of patients across the continuum of care."
“This course was fantastic! I am confident that my practice will change in response to items that I've learned here. I will document and describe my cranial nerve exams differently based on knowledge I'm taking from this course."
“I loved the general neuro overview that we always seem to forget as clinical SLPs working with neuro patients and then how it was brought full circle to clinical applications. So many courses don't cover treatment applications in presentations, so it was refreshing to get some applicable ideas with examples depending on specific disorders!"
“I like that the presenter did not waste time on information not relevant to SLPs. The illustrations were excellent and it was extremely helpful to go through each nerve. Case studies were valuable tying it all together."
“The case application in particular was excellent, and I appreciated that the presenter included how to document her observations, that is something I wish all presenters did."
“I LOVED the simple explanations and the easy to comprehend graphics. Especially the explanations w/ application strategies. Cranial nerves are NOT easy but this course has helped to solidify my knowledge and will assist me in assessment clarification for brain injuries. I especially appreciate the DETAIL and extra information provided allowing me to easily reference the information and ESPECIALLY being able to review this as often as I feel is necessary (which will be at least a FEW times)! Thank you for all of the effort you put into this presentation!! Much appreciated!"
“This was by far the best CEU course I have ever attended. Anna's breadth of knowledge is inspiring, and her depth of understanding allows her to teach complex information in a way that is salient for the treating clinician. I especially appreciate Anna's functional and person-centered approach to intervention, and I am eager to apply what I learned from this course to my treatments on Monday.” -Cassidy Tammaro
“This was a good course that took on a challenging subject. The case application section at the end was particularly effective."

“I liked the format, it gave us SLP related anatomy without going into too much of the specifics but also reinforcing/repeating the important SLP information."
“The absolute best, most comprehensive neuro course I have ever taken. The care she put into the presentation was evident, and I plan to print this out as my "go to" when I have questions. It was worth every penny!"
“This course was extremely organized, filled with great content, and easily to follow. I was able to put all the information together. Great course and definitely will be recommending to my acute inpatient SLP team!!!"

This is the class I was missing in grad school - the neuroscience + direct clinical application. Thanks so much, Anna! You are fantastic!"
"I loved how detailed the information was to refine the knowledge I already had from research, other CEU courses and clinical experience."
"Very informative - can't wait to start updating my documentation and evaluation/treatment plans!"
"This course was really well done; helpful even for an experienced SLP."
"This course is an excellent refresh on neurology, it dove deep into the role of SLPs regarding neurology."
"Anna is extremely knowledgable on all topics discussed and helped make dense neuroanatomy more digestible. Great course and very relevant!"
"Excellent course that improved my knowledge and understanding of neuroanatomy. Useful tools and knowledge that I can apply directly to my caseload."
