Speech Sound Disorders and the Impact on Literacy Development - There is significant evidence regarding students with speech sound disorders and morphology/phonology skills.

A Language Processing Disorder: What It Is and How We Treat It - Psychologists will often state in their reports that the student has a language processing disorder or when a student has difficulty following directions in the classroom, the teacher may say, "I think it is language processing." Or, SLPs often use this term when they know that the difficulties are more than the 5 domains of language. Learn what a processing disorder is and how we can effectively evaluate and treat it.
Can't Remediate that /R/? Try this Technique - This hands on workshop applies motor learning to remediating the /r/ sound. This approach can be used for all speech sounds and more specifically to that /r/ that just won't remediate.
Project Based Language Therapy: Integrating into Classroom Projects, STEM and STEAM - This seminar supports speech-language pathologists and resource teachers in integrating goals into classroom projects or using a project based design in language therapy.
Collaboration Among Teachers and Speech-Language Pathologists - This workshop is designed for teachers and speech-language pathologists for methods of collaboration within the classroom. The more collaboration that occurs - the better the outcome for each student.
