Systematic Instruction Part 1: Clients with Acquired Memory Impairments
This course with Dr. McKay Sohlberg is the first in a two-part series exploring systematic instruction for patients experiencing acquired memory and learning impairments. It provides a detailed rationale for why SLPs need to be skilled educators, reviews relevant memory theory and evidence base, and provides detailed instruction on a systematic instruction framework. The principles detailed in this course can be applied to teaching clients to use assistive technology, metacognitive strategies or activities of daily living.

Presented by McKay Sohlberg, PhD, CCC-SLP, F-ASHA
Systematic Instruction Part 2: Case Examples
This course with Dr. McKay Sohlberg, is the second in a two part series exploring systematic instruction for clients experiencing acquired memory and learning impairments. It provides examples of systematic instruction in action in mock therapy sessions, as well as through interviews with real clients experiencing memory impairments following brain injury. The course begins with a brief review of a systematic instruction framework, and then provides two example therapy progressions: one detailing the implementation of assistive technology to improve function, and a second showing the implementation of a problem solving strategy. The course concludes with interviews and discussions around two clients, one who experienced a stroke, and a second who experienced a traumatic brain injury.
