Title: |
SLP Series: Linking Speaking to Reading for SLPs- Phonological Processing, Phonological Awareness, Articulation, and Comprehension (1 Day Event) Presented by Stephanie Cork, certified Multisensory Structure Language trainer and RLAC Tutor |
|
Dates: |
December 2, 2011 |
|
|
|
|
Audience: |
Oakland County school-based speech-language pathologists |
|
|
|
|
Description: |
This course will introduce school SLPs to some of the key components of a multisensory literacy approach designed to improve the language processing skills of children with language-based learning disabilities. SLPs will learn a variety of instructional strategies based on the Orton-Gillingham approach to improve students’ sound perception, phonological awareness, reading fluency, and overall reading comprehension skills. These strategies can be used during speech & language intervention for students with articulation and/ or language impairments. Specifically, the 3-Part Drill, Vowel Intensive, and Reciprocal Reading strategies (questioning, clarifying, predicting, and summarizing) will be presented. These are explicit instructional strategies that engage multiple learning pathways to enhance comprehension, retention, and application of skills for speaking, spelling and reading.

Title: |
SLP Series: Making Curriculum-Based Practices Work for School-Based SLPs (1 Day Event) Presented by Nancy Garon, M.A., CCC-SLP and Diane Katakowski, M.A., CCC-SLP |
|
Dates: |
March 2, 2012 |
|
|
|
|
Audience: |
Oakland County school-based speech-language pathologists |
|
|
|
|
Description: |
This workshop will begin with a review of curriculum-based practices that have been presented to SLPs at Oakland Schools over the past two years. Curriculum-based practices for Oakland County School SLPs include any assessment and intervention practices that are based on the curriculum, instruction, or assessments used in a student’s classroom. SLPs use curriculum-based practices in an effort to make connections between intervention and classroom instruction explicit and accelerate the learning of students with speech and language impairments. This workshop is designed to be a facilitated work session for Oakland County SLPs who want to begin or refine their implementation of curriculum-based practices. SLPs should attend with at least 1 other SLP from their district so they can problem-solve and generate ideas together. Facilitated activities and conversations will lead to work products that are shared with the whole group at the end of the day.

2009-2010 Professional Development ProgramsFriday, October 2, 2009 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM Cost: $10.00 Learn about how school-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs) can use a student's classroom curriculum and materials as part of a functional assessment for special education eligibility. Participants will also learn how to use classroom -based assessment (CBA) practices for instructional planning and IEP development. Ideas for relating student performance to state standards of learning as well as case studies will be presented. NOTE: Due to funding guidelines, priority will be given to Oakland County registration. Out-of-county registrants may be moved to a waiting list, but will be notified in advance of the change in registration status. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Friday, December 11, 2009 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM Cost: $10.00 Learn about a model of language development that considers linguistic levels (sound/word and sentence/discourse) across modalities (listening; speaking; reading; writing). This model can bring order to planning and insights into students' profiles. Speech-language pathologists can use their knowledge of spoken language development and disorders to guide curriculum-based assessment of reading and writing samples to collaborate with other special educators and general education teachers to provide appropriate services. As a result of this course, participants will be able to list at least two curriculum-relevant techniques for assessing sound/word and sentence/discourse skills, use language-based procedures to gather and analyze probes of children's reading and writing, and list appropriate intervention objectives and techniques for working on spoken and written language in collaborative service delivery models. NOTE: Due to funding guidelines, priority will be given to Oakland County registration. Out-of-county registrants may be moved to a waiting list, but will be notified in advance of the change in registration status. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friday, March 5, 2010 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM Cost: $10.00
CBA for SLPs: Oral Language Development &
Emergent Literacy Learn about the development of emergent literacy skills and how these skills relate to oral language development. Participants will learn about how school-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and early educator can collaborate to facilitate emergent literacy and oral language development. Ideas for classroom-based assessment (CBA) practices and intervention strategies will be presented. NOTE: Due to funding guidelines, priority will be given to Oakland County registrants. Out-of-county registrants may be moved to a waiting list, but will be notified in advance of the change in registration status.

Visual Strategies: Ms. Hodgdon says, “Visual tools and supports are not magic. They won’t fix every problem that students have, but they will provide a valuable framework to support their lives”. We know that implementing a system of visual tools and supports can significantly reduce behavior problems, and increase communication and social interaction. If you’ve heard Ms. Hodgdon before you know she’s a dynamic presenter that will fill you with ideas to take back to therapy. If you have never heard her before, you’ll be in for a wonderful professional learning experience!
