The Gut-Brain Connection

This webinar will be live on June 19 at 5:00pm PDT

‍

The Brain-Gut Connection is an engaging continuing education course that helps speech-language pathologists explore how gut health can influence communication. Led by the dynamic Dr. Varleisha Lyons—an experienced occupational therapist, author, and educator—this course brings neuroscience to life in a way that’s clear, practical, and inspiring.

‍

You’ll learn how the gut and brain work together, and why this matters for clients with challenges like autism, anxiety, or sensory sensitivities. Dr. Lyons shares easy-to-use techniques like vagus nerve activation and mindful sensory strategies that you can bring right into your sessions.

‍

Real-life examples make it easy to connect the science to your everyday work. Whether you're looking to earn ASHA CEUs or simply grow as a clinician, this course is a fresh, holistic take on helping clients thrive.

Thoroughly Enjoying My Subscription

“I have typically browsed and used many online professional development resources. Some were excellent, but many were disappointing. Speech Therapy PD has so many choices, presenters I know and want to hear, well-organized formats with handouts, Quizzes, and course ratings included, and obviously vetted content, so subscribers get the best sources of information.”
