ASHA CEU Information
FORMAT
The 2023 PAVA symposium is held in a hybrid format. What does hybrid mean? In our case, it means that whether you fly to Miami, USA or “Zoom-fly” to PAVA Village, we will see each other in person . . . Whether you attend in 3D or 2D, as we like to call it, there will be plenty of interaction, information and fun! We look forward to mingling with you in the virtual streets and 3D hallways! Internet Access and Zoom required for 2D (virtual) attendees.
LOCATION
- 3D Physical Locations: Newman Alumni Center - University of Miami (6200 San Amaro Drive, Coral Gables, FL 33146)
- 2D Virtual Location: www.virtuallypava.org (PAVA Village)
PREREQUISITES AND MATERIALS
Any required materials for workshops will be listed in the Symposium Schedule.
COURSE HOURS
1.9 ASHA CEUs. Partial credit is available. Hours are rounded down by the half hour from the total minutes you attended educational sessions.
NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Vocology is a field that encompasses voice habilitation and rehabilitation, medical and performance knowledge, and new research across these areas. Contemporary symposia and focused courses disseminate this information across multiple voice disciplines and build connections across professions. The Pan American Vocology Symposium and regular course offerings fulfill this need.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Speech-Language Pathologists, Voice Scientists, Voice and Speech Coaches and Trainers, Singing Teachers, Physicians, and other voice specialists from around the world.
PROGRAM INFORMATION
ASHA CEUs are only for speech-language pathologists who use the ASHA CE Registry to track continuing education hours and want hours from this course reported to ASHA. We do not report continuing education hours to other organizations.
- If you are not an SLP, you don’t need to complete this process.
- If you do not use the ASHA CE Registry, you do not need to pay the processing fee or submit magic numbers. Track your continuing education hours, and use the Fillable Continuing Education Completion Certificate to document your hours. Do not count hours for organizational meetings. This certificate is suitable for state license renewal and ASHA recertification.
As a result of this activity, participants will be able to…
- Summarize basic vocal anatomy and physiology.
- Summarize basic physics and acoustics of voice and how they are measured.
- Describe the relationship between typical and atypical voice production and some ways in which it is measured and evaluated.
- Summarize strategies and techniques for voice habilitation and rehabilitation.
- Demonstrate various voice therapy and voice teaching techniques for a variety of voice use areas.
- Describe recent clinical, scientific and technological advances related to the study of voice.
- Describe interdisciplinary clinical and research information about voice production, evaluation and treatment.
- Describe current issues in the professional voice community, also including ethics for singing teachers and voice rehabilitation.
