On demand ASHA Web Seminar presented by Diane L. Williams, Ph.D., CCC-SLP. Modern neuropathological procedures and structional and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques allow us to study the brain in living humans, including young children with autism. This research provides us with a greater understanding of the neurobiological basis of autism. These studies suggest that autism involves an abnormal maturational process that affects the development of gray matter brain structures, white matter cortical connections, and how the brain performs functions, particularly those that require the frontal and posterior areas to synchronize. Perfect for the clinical SLP, this program will report on the major neuropathological structural imaging and functional imaging findings in autism, particularly those related to language development.

One-Day Foundation Course or Two-Day Foundation and Dementia Therapy Applications Course.

Day One establishes a framework for promoting best abilities. Day Two focuses on application of new skills.
