CSHA Foundation

CSHA Foundation It is a qualified 501c3 charitable organization. CSHAF is building the diverse workforce of the future.

The CSHA Foundation raises public awareness of communication disorders and the services available to address them, delivers a range of educational programs and conferences, and offers student scholarships. California’s 30,000 speech-language pathologists (SLPs), audiologists (AuDs) and related professionals provide life-altering support to those with speech, hearing, swallowing, and cognitive chal

lenges. From speech challenges and hearing issues to brain injuries and swallowing conditions, these caring professionals lift lives every day. Unfortunately, the demand outstrips capacity: Nationally, only 55% of children with voice, speech, language or swallowing disorders receive services each year. The CSHA Foundation collaborates with other organizations to strengthen and grow the SLP and AuD professions so every child and adult gets the support they need to exercise their basic right to communicate. We do this by:

- Fostering the recruitment of college students to pursue careers in the field and offering them scholarships, leadership opportunities and more.
- Providing continuing education, networking and career guidance for early-career professionals, especially those from underrepresented groups.
- Educating regarding the need to increase the number of student slots in speech pathology and audiology in California.
- Addressing systemic barriers to entering and staying in the profession.
- Building cultural competency through trainings, publications and conversations led by peers.
- Building community and leadership through our annual conference, workshops and events throughout the year.

It can be challenging to keep students engaged in the social learning process. Over the years, they see many programs and materials, and the statement “I already know all about ___” challenges us to continuously search for new, evidence-based materials.

We’ll discuss a recently-released therapeutically-applied role-playing game developed by gametogrow.org – Critical Core, and its application to our work in social cognition. Critical Core is NOT a video game, it’s a quest-driven social experience that supports and values collaboration. Based in a DIR/Floortime model, Critical Core works to develop executive function, regulation, collaboration, perspective taking, and imaginative play. We’ll learn about the game components and examine three case studies following the game experience and progress of: a student with social pragmatic disorder and ADHD, a student with learning differences and anxiety, and a student with twice exceptionality

Occupational stress is a common concern among speech-language pathologists ( ) and audiologists ( ), with “too much to do and too little time.” This is currently being magnified given the stress surrounding COVID-19, across both professional and personal realms. COVID Stress Syndrome, characterized by anxiety and increased substance use, is now a significant public health concern. Despite the pervasiveness of stress, clinicians often lack the right tools to deal with it.

This session will explore the complex relationship between mind, body, and breath and provide clinicians with practical selfcare in order to prevent burnout and to improve performance in service delivery and leadership. Come prepared to experience the power of the breath and meditation in achieving work-life balance.

Join us as we take an in depth look at conducting evaluations via telepractice. Although this was already going on prior to the pandemic, COVID has forced many providers to change the way they were conducting evaluations. The result was a modernization of many of our processes that possibly had been a long time coming.

This presentation looks at how to take the skills you already have and augment them into “teleevaluation”! It covers: the positives and negatives of this service delivery model, parent/caregiver training prior to the evaluation, required technology, setting up and controlling the environment, adjusting duration of testing based on needs of examinee, administering formal versus informal assessments, technical aspects to consider, and managing more severe clients.
