We present you with the options, asking you to always double check the schedule.
If you attend live, during the workshops, you can write your questions in the chat to the speaker that will later be asked by the moderator (s). Your participation is an important contribution to our enrichment.
WORKSHOP 1
Voice acoustic analysis: updates and guidelines for clinical practice
Schedule: 09am-12am
Hosts: Voice department
Speakers: André Araújo, Joana Frutuoso and Pedro Pestana
Moderators: Gabriela Torrejano and Sónia Lima
Speech and language therapists who work with voice are faced with challenges to incorporate quality acoustic analysis into their clinical evaluation. The evolution of technologies and evaluation parameters requires a continuous update to integrate optimized practices within professional context. These make it possible to make the most of time and resources, as well as to improve the forms of registration and clinical reporting.
In this workshop, updates will be shared about selection of equipment and software, as well as signal recording procedures and strategies for obtaining suitable voice corpora. Emphasis will be given to the use of free software (PRAAT), with demonstration and practical supervision of the analysis of simple and combined short and long term acoustic measures, as well as guidelines for reporting them.

WORKSHOP 2
Speaking about breathing: Talking and breathing interface
Schedule: 09am-12am
Hosts: Departments of Speech and Orofacial motricity
Speakers: Débora Franco, Margarida Ramalho and Tânia Reis
Moderators: Ana Catarina Batista and Mariana Carvalho
Oral breathing can lead to structural, postural, muscular and functional changes, in speech production which can compromise oral communication. What is the relationship between speech and breathing?
The main objective of this workshop is to reflect on the relationship of autonomy and/or interdependence between breathing and speech production. We will discuss intervention with strategies and activities for clinical practice.
Programme
WORKSHOP 3
THE (HIDDEN) POTENTIAL OF THE USE OF VIDEO ANALYSIS WITHIN THE SPEECH AND LANGUAGE THERAPIST’S INTERVENTION
Schedule: 09am-12am
Hosts: Augmentative and alternative communication department
Speaker: Sheridan Forster
Moderators: Ana Catarina Gaspar, Joana Mendes and João Canossa Dias
Language: English
It is commonly said that “a picture is worth a thousand words”. With pictures, one can illustrate complex ideas, convey difficult messages, engage the communication partner in an open dialogue … What about videos? Can and should we use them in our intervention as speech and language therapists’? Are we prepared to do so? In this workshop, the participants will be given an overview of the video analysis process at the service of the intervention in complex communication and language disorders and challenged to reflect about own practices in this field.
Programme
WORKSHOP 4
Listen and process to better communicate: clinical cases
Schedule: 1pm-4pm
Hosts: Hearing and Children Language Departments
Speakers: Leonor Fontes
Moderators:: Marisa Alves and Telma Pereira
The central auditory processing is quite complex and closely related to the communication and language development. There are situations in which even though there is normal peripheral hearing, there are difficulties of discrimination, analysis and processing of sound information that can compromise language.
In this workshop we will analyse clinical cases and the relationship between central auditory processing disorder and language disorders.
Programme
WORKSHOP 5
Stuttering early diagnosis
Schedule: 1pm-4pm
Hosts: Stuttering department
Speakers: Ana Andrade and Rita Valente
Moderators: Cátia Catita and Helena Germano
Analysis of children videos with and without stuttering in order to explore the manifestation of the disorder and contribute to develop clinical reasoning on early diagnosis assessment.
Throughout the workshop scientific and terminological updating in stuttering will be developed in an interaction with the participants. Participants are challenged to contribute to this discussion, bringing clinical cases, preferably on video.
Programme
WORKSHOP 6
The role of speech and language therapist in breatfeeding
Schedule: 4h30pm-7h30pm
Hosts: Swallowing department
Speaker: Sheila Tamanini de Almeida
Moderator: Ana Marques and Ana Paris Leal
The workshop will be based on an expositive dialogue, with presentation of possible practices online, increasing the knowledge about the speech and language therapists’ performance in breastfeeding.
Aspects related to the performance of term babies, premature babies and special cases will be addressed.
Programme
WORKSHOP 7
Micro and macrolinguistic speech analysis
Schedule: 4h30pm-7h30pm
Hosts: Adult language department
Speaker: Filipa Miranda
Moderators: Ana Murteira and José Fonseca
Speech analysis is crucial for language assessment and can be analyzed through two dimensions: microlinguistic and macrolinguistic. The microlinguistics of speech is related to the organization of phonological patterns in morphological sequences and words (lexical processing) and also determines the syntactic context that each word requires for the correct formation of sentences (syntactic processing). In this type of dimension, the average length of the statement, the rate, the Type Token Ratio, the total number of words and phrases can be measured.
Macro-linguistics refers to inter-sentence analysis, determining the contextually appropriate meaning of a word or phrase, as well as the cohesive and coherent mechanisms that are responsible for forming the topics. It can be analysed through the main concepts, the coherence of the topic, the global coherence, the local coherence and the cohesion of the discourse.
Through these two types of analysis, it is possible to detect language deviations that are not found through traditional methods of language assessment.
