  SLP: speech sound disorders

  Choosing the best words for articulation therapy using facilitative contexts

  This session teaches participants how to use facilitative contexts to improve sound production in articulation therapy. By identifying words a student can already pronounce correctly, therapists can bypass traditional isolation and elicitation phases. Case studies and therapy clips will help attendees develop a framework for choosing effective practice targets to enhance student success in therapy.

  TBI

  Concussion, TBI, and CTE in Athletes and the Role of SLPs

  As awareness of concussions, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) grows, speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are increasingly essential in identifying, managing, and rehabilitating athletes affected by these conditions. This presentation will explore SLPs' vital role in the multidisciplinary care of athletes, emphasizing the importance of their expertise in communication and cognition to comprehensive brain health. Covering neurophysiological mechanisms, cumulative trauma risks, and practical strategies, attendees will learn evidence-based approaches to collaborate with athletic staff, develop effective concussion protocols, and advocate for the inclusion of SLPs in brain health initiatives, ultimately promoting long-term athlete wellness.

  SLP: DEI

  Inclusive IEP Meetings: Perspectives From All Sides of the Table

  IEP meetings are critical for developing effective support plans, yet they can unintentionally create tension and hinder collaboration between caregivers and school teams. This course helps speech-language pathologists identify common practices that contribute to contentious meetings and explore the stressors caregivers face throughout the IEP process. Participants will learn proactive strategies to foster meaningful collaboration, enhance shared understanding, and create more inclusive and effective IEP meetings. Through a focus on culturally responsive communication and strategies to reduce caregiver stress, this course equips speech-language pathologists with tools to improve outcomes for students and their families.
