In the era of COVID-19, clinicians in healthcare settings have faced challenges in the evaluation and treatment of a new patient population – Post-COVID – requiring us to reframe our current treatment techniques. This course will focus on reinventing the speech-language pathologists approach to treatment of respiratory activity tolerance for motor speech. It will address collaboration with physical and occupational therapists for incorporation of dual motor tasks with more traditional treatment. Goal writing and tips for tracking measurable outcomes will also be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

Identify three appropriate treatment tasks to address motor speech in post COVID-19 patients
Develop a motor speech treatment plan to include dual-motor task progression in Post COVID-19 patients
Assess three variables to measure patient tolerance and progress with motor speech treatment
