Reading Between the Lines: The Language-Literacy-Dyslexia Connection
Description
Region 10 Coordinating Council Speech & Language Pathologists' Sub Committee Presents....Reading Between the Lines: The Language-Literacy-Dyslexia Connection<br />Course Description: We have an exciting opportunity as SLPs to support students with language-based literacy disorders, including dyslexia. With a strong legislative focus at the state and national levels, it is important to actively participate on interprofessional literacy teams. You may be surprised at your ability to facilitate literacy development and student success. Our background in language development equips us to identify, assess, collaborate with teachers, and provide intervention services. This workshop provides you with an overview of recent guidelines and legislation and how it may impact what you do every day as a school-based SLP. Ideas and resources will be shared to make connections between the skills you already have and how to apply them with students struggling with reading, including those with dyslexia. We will also make recommendations for ways to broaden your range of service delivery formats to balance your caseload/workload.<br />Because of this workshop, participants will be able to:<br />
