Join Us for The Equity Series: A Path Towards Inclusive Practice
This conference offers a unique virtual professional development experience, featuring insightful speakers and topics that address the diverse needs of individuals from all backgrounds.
We believe in fostering a culture of inclusion where everyone has access to the support they need to thrive. Our goal is to explore actionable strategies to promote cultural humility and justice, ensuring that every individual feels valued and respected.
Last year, we invited you to rethink what inclusive practice means to you. This year, we’re inviting you to be part of the conversation. By bringing together professionals and advocates from diverse backgrounds, we aim to spark meaningful dialogue, share best practices, and cultivate a deeper understanding of how to create inclusive environments in various settings. Whether you’re an educator, clinician, parent, or administrator, your perspective and expertise are invaluable to this conversation. The online format of the conference ensures accessibility to a wide audience, transcending geographical barriers and allowing for robust participation from individuals worldwide.
Join us as we embark on a journey towards a more inclusive future, where every voice is heard, and every individual is valued.
Welcome to the 2024 Embracing Expertise Series! We are thrilled to bring you the topic of LITERACY presented by Drs. Katy Cabbage and Jenny Zuk. Katy and Jenny have curated content to help practicing SLPs lean in to their role in reading. SLPs will learn about the foundations of reading couched within some popular theoretical frameworks: the Simple View of Reading and Stages of Reading Development. Don’t let the idea of theories scare you off – Katy and Jenny have made this material incredibly actionable, clinically-applicable, and chocked full of ideas for what to do tomorrow. SLPs will also learn more about supporting literacy from preschool to high school. SLPs who work with children who have language disorders and/ or speech sound disorders won’t want to miss the videos specifically delving into understanding the connections between these disorders and reading. This year’s Embracing Expertise Series is available on demand and is a must-see for SLPs working with children of any age and in any setting, and especially for those SLPs working in schools.
