SPEECH & LANGUAGE FOR ALL SEASONS
Presenters: Hillary Billings, MS, CCC-SLP, & Holly Nester, MS, CCC-SLP
Course Overview: This presentation will focus on the what, the why, and most importantly the how of speech therapy. We will begin by looking at the four domains of speech and language as outlined by ASHA. We will also look at the targeted skills under each domain that we should be focusing on in therapy and how they correlate to the classroom curriculum for grades K-4. The majority of the presentation will be spent exploring hands-on practical activities that encompass these targeted skills at all levels. Beginning with summer, we will take you through each season providing tons of great suggestions and demonstrations of fun new activities for you to add to your therapy tool kit! We will be showing some of our favorite purchased materials and how they can be modified throughout the year. We’ll also be looking at some websites that offer great seasonal downloads. Finally, we will take a look at a number of cheap activities that you can easily make by making a trip to your local Dollar Tree. All materials will be displayed at the end of the presentation, so feel free to bring your cameras!
Course Objectives: At the successful completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the four speech and language domains and a minimum of five targeted skills under each domain.
- Describe how these domains correlate with the classroom curriculum for Kindergarten through fourth grade.
- Identify three pieces of supporting evidence regarding the Speech Pathologist’s role in providing services to support these domains.
- Describe ten therapy activities to improve children’s speech and language skills under each of these domains.
