CEUs: 0.2 PS CEUs

Presenter: Haley Eyster

Presented in: Spoken English with Captions

Format: Archived Webinar

This presentation will focus on the medical specialties of speech pathology and audiology. When working within these setting, it is vital that interpreters understand and be familiar with the most common diagnoses and testing that occurs during such appointments. It is also vital that interpreters know the parts of the body that are impacted by these diagnoses and testing. Often interpreters are confused by these settings, so it is important to distinguish the difference in each setting and within each one. In addition, it is critical to be able to visualize the auditory system and know the various parts of this system. In order to perform the most accurate interpretation, the interpreter must be comfortable with a variety of classifiers that can be used to describe and represent this system.

1. Participants will be able to define common terms used in speech pathology vs. audiology.
2. Participants will be able to identify common diagnoses within speech pathology and audiology.
3. Participants will be able to select the appropriate classifier to use when presented with various parts of the auditory system.
4. Participants will be able to describe common tests/assessments used in speech pathology and audiology.
