CEUs: .3
ABA Certificants: Tier 1

Learner Outcomes: Upon completion, each participant in the eAudiology Web seminar will be able to:
- Define the structure and function of the neurological components related to anxiety
- Assess the psychological strategies available to facilitate optimal expressive and receptive communication with a patient displaying clinical signs of anxiety
- Evaluate how anxiolytic medication affects the central and peripheral nervous system
Description: Anxiety is a psychological manifestation that embeds itself in virtually every aspect of a patient's life, affecting both receptive and expressive communication. The prevalence rate of anxiety in vestibular and auditory disorders is significant. Audiologists who encounter this patient population must have a working knowledge of physiological characteristics of anxiety, its impact on socialization, as well as the most effective counseling strategy for anxiety, cognitive-behavioral therapy. This knowledge will facilitate optimal communication, and by default efficacious treatment of the patient.
