FREE WEBINAR: From Research to Practice: Intensive Voice Treatment (LSVT LOUD®) for Paediatric Motor Speech Disorders
About this course
FREE: One-hour webinar: Tuesday 7th October 2025, 3.30 pm – 4.30 pm (UK time)
This FREE session which will be delivered on Zoom, offers an unmissable opportunity to find out more about how the tried and tested LSVT LOUD approach has been adapted for use with children and young people, including those with Downs Syndrome and cerebral palsy.
The presentation will explore how decades of research and clinical success have widened LSVT LOUD’s reach, transforming it into a powerful tool for addressing motor speech disorders in children. Attendees will gain insights into the science behind LSVT LOUD, its core principles, and how it has been adapted to meet the unique needs of paediatric populations.
Through real-world case studies, clinician perspectives, and the latest research findings, you’ll learn about the benefits of LSVT LOUD for children and how it fosters improved communication and quality of life. Whether you’re new to LSVT LOUD or looking to deepen your understanding, this webinar offers a unique opportunity to explore the evolving potential of this evidence-based therapy across all ages.
The webinar will be recorded so that anyone who cannot make the virtual live session can watch the presentation at their convenience, however, the recorded version will have some of the case study video segments removed to honour the relevant licensing agreements around use of content, so we do urge you to join the session ‘live’ if you possibly can.
As well as access to the session recording for 4 weeks post-event, attendees will receive a session handout and LSVT KIDS factsheet, as with all Course Beetle training, be able to use our session feedback system to produce a reflective summary to include in your CPD log, and receive a certificate.
