When we hear the term dyslexia, too often, our initial thoughts are only considering the program needed for effective instruction. In this session, we will discuss how vital our roles are as SLPs/SLPAs to think outside of the “box”. Attendees will explore the scope of practice in speech language pathology and how it applies to individuals with dyslexia. We will discuss recent legislation and describe ways SLPs/SLPAs can be more involved in the school and private practice settings. Participants will also learn about evidence-based intervention techniques and approaches to effectively manage dyslexia. Various service delivery options in the school and clinical settings will be discussed. Case studies and demonstrations will be used to demonstrate the various aspects of dyslexia intervention. Discussion will also focus on how to incorporate principles of structured literacy in your current speech and language treatment plans.
Join us Friday, February 17, 2023!
Questions can be directed to Gretchen Lloyd.
