Assessment of CAS

Course Description

New school year, new caseload, and CAS is one of the diagnoses most SLPs feel least confident walking into. This is where that changes.

In this fast paced, 2.5 hour live training, you'll get a clear and practical walk through of what CAS actually is, how it's characterized, and exactly what to look for during an evaluation.

We'll cover what CAS is and how it differs from other pediatric speech sound disorders, the core characteristics that define it, a full walk through of the assessment process from start to finish, and the specific criteria needed to support a diagnosis.

This course provides PDH, not ASHA CEUs. Please confirm PDH satisfies your own continuing education requirements before registering.

What's Included

Every registrant walks away with more than notes. You'll receive the Bjorem CAS Screener/Inventory and Decision Guide, the Stimulus Book, and the Evaluation Report Template, a full clinical toolkit that would normally run $149.99 on its own, included with your seat. These aren't supplemental handouts, they're the exact tools you'll reach for on your very next CAS evaluation.

Along with the live training, you'll also receive a PDH certificate of completion and 60 days of access to the recording, posted within 24 hours of the live session.

Pricing

Registration is non-refundable. Because you receive immediate access to digital materials upon registering, all sales are final.
