SLP Learning Hour

Guest: Tiffany C. Gurley-Nettles, Ph.D., CCC-SLP - This course explores neuropsychology to understand behavior as it relates to the brain and the influences of illnesses or brain injuries on behavior and cognitive functions. Dr. Gurley-Nettles discusses how brain injury and behavioral and emotional changes emerge from the injury itself, the distress from adapting to the changes following the TBI, or a combination of the two. She highlights how clinical neuropsychologists have been instrumental clinically and scientifically in the identification of problems, signs, and symptoms of sports-related head injuries. Additionally, she addresses their involvement in the areas of effective treatment plans following the cognitive and behavioral assessment, as well as the facilitation of recovery monitoring, returning to sports, school, and community reentry.

Guest: Shawnee Harle, MA - This course explores mental toughness and emotional intelligence as it relates to athletes and sports concussion management, however, these strategies are also for SLPs and AuDs to help them ignite the leader within. Helping student-athletes manage the fear behind concussions, which may lead to reducing the stigma, increased reporting of signs and symptoms, and decreased fear of isolation during protocols and repercussions, such as losing playing time and scholarships will be discussed. In addition, being unafraid of post-concussion cognitive-communication difficulties may lead to increased advocacy of accommodations. Shawnee highlights what is lacking within the sports community, which is a lack of addressing the athletes’ overall well-being. Steps to incorporate before, during, and after warming up the body and the mind, as well as preparing to deal with the “storms” from playing the sport by applying the social-emotional pillars and cognitive-communication strategies to athletic training, brain health, and the everyday physical exercises will be provided.

Guest: Danielle Hyde, MA, SLP-CCC, Reg. CASLPO - This course explores helping athletes who have sustained sports-related concussions develop their communication and cognitive skills to gain independence, reduce their frustrations, successfully return to work or school, and return to the activities and social interactions that are important to them. Danielle discusses skilled assessment and treatment, as well as collaborative and person-centered approaches to help understand challenges, identify specific goals and develop evidence-based treatment plans to achieve successful communication and swallowing outcomes.
