Children with lisp patterns frequently receive treatment in the schools. Remediation of these patterns requires intensive intervention featuring precise placement and opportunities to utilize the new producation across contexts (with different people in different places for different purposes). This session features evidence-based intervention and videos to demonstrate current research principles, including motor learning theory and methodologies for treating barious lisp patterns. Participants will engage in hands-on practice with colleagues during rotating stations at the end of the day.

After completing this program, participants will be able to:

1. Utilize evidence-based motor learning principles for remediating mild articulation errors
2. Identify a plan for utilizing the evidence-based practices with one current student
3. Describe a range of treatment methodologies to address lisp patterns
