The LSVT LOUD for KIDS Training and Certification Program trains professional speech language pathologists and students in a scientifically validated, intensive therapeutic approach for children with motor speech disorders such as children with dysarthria, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy. Through LSVT LOUD for KIDS, children can improve speech clarity, vocal loudness, oral-motor skills for better articulation, prosody and intonation, self-confidence, and their overall communication skills. The training includes comprehensive educational materials, lectures, clinical case studies, practical guidance from LSVT Global instructors, and more than 200 ideas and suggestions for therapeutic activities.
The fundamental treatment principles and rationale, key treatment elements, efficacy data supporting treatment outcomes, details of treatment exercises, and practical delivery and documentation considerations will be covered. Teaching techniques include pre-recorded lecture, video demonstrations, and case-study presentations. Discussion will be included on application to other childhood dysarthrias, and customization of treatment delivery to meet the unique functional goals of each child across speech severity and practice setting.
