"Changing the brain: history, review, and what
every SLT should know !”
Dr Brea Chouinard,
ASSISTID Marie Curie Post-doctoral Fellow
School of Medicine
Trinity College Dublin
The brain can change! I was surprised to learn this, because it was not what I was taught during my speech and language pathology degree.
This fun and informative *CPD session to be held in Room 103-104, Department of Clinical Speech & Language Studies on Thursday evening April 12th, 5pm - 7pm.
We will (i) start by reviewing some of the research behind the old belief of only one ‘critical period’ for language learning (ii) look at some of the research that started to change our minds (pardon the pun), and (iii) review the research that solidified our knowledge about changing the brain and the resulting “principles of neuroplasticity”.
For practical application, we will:
- Look at examples of current “neuroplastic” speech-language therapies
- Learn how to apply these principles to our caseload (for clients of any age and with any disorder)
- Discuss how these principles can be the foundation for client-centered therapy
- Practice transforming SMART goals into neuroplastic goals
(*This session follows on from Dr Chouinard’s very successful CPD sessions on ASD, which she delivered last year)
Cost**: €25 (pre booking inquiry essential via: cslssec@tcd.ie), once availability is confirmed please book at the paypal link below.
**No charge for Practice Educators and Practice Tutors taking TCD students this academic year 2017-18.
** NO reservations can be made, email only to check availability prior to booking.*
Dr. Chouinard’s previous research focused on behavioural and neurological measures of in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and chronic aphasia. Her current research investigates the basal-ganglia model of cognitive control and the role it plays in social communication in ASD. In addition to her research career, she has 13 years of clinical experience, where she specialised in ASD and intensive therapy. Dr. Chouinard’s interests include neuroplasticity, ASD, social cognition, interpersonal interaction, and introspective behaviour.

This continuous professional development (CPD) online course has been developed by the Department of Clinical Speech and Language Studies in Trinity College Dublin. The clinically focused course aims to provide qualified speech and language therapists and other healthcare professionals with the opportunity to develop their understanding of instrumental dysphagia examinations. Whether you have access to instrumentation or you come across these examinations in the research literature, this course will equip you with up to date knowledge on instrumental evaluations employed in dysphagia clinical practice and research.
On successful completion of this course, students will:
- Be aware of the indications for an instrumental dysphagia evaluation
- Be familiar with the purposes of the instrumental dysphagia evaluations employed in research and clinical practice
- Have knowledge of resources and protocols required to complete dysphagia instrumental examinations
- Be familiar with the analysis of data from instrumental dysphagia examinations
- Recognise the advantages and limitations of various instrumental dysphagia evaluations

Please note this course does not provide a professional qualification to work in the field of dysphagia. Certificates of participation will be provided to students who complete the course.
Course Organisation
The online course is delivered over a two week period where learning materials are released each Monday. These materials include videos, interactive presentations, relevant literature and short quizzes.
