9:00 - 10:30 a.m.
(Zoom link will be emailed to registered participants.)
George is having a hard time making friends. In conversations, he sometimes interrupts or changes the topic abruptly. He doesn’t pick up on nonverbal cues and often misinterprets his classmates’ intentions or feelings. In the classroom, he struggles to follow the rules. He always seems to be in trouble. His classmates sometimes tease him. More and more SLPs are being asked to evaluate and intervene with students who, like George, struggle with social communication. This training will address what social communication is, how we assess it and evidence-based strategies for intervening. Suggestions for providing services through an online format will be provided throughout the presentation.
Participants will:
Define social communication and its disorders
Assess students’ social communication
Implement evidence-based interventions for students who struggle with social communication
Intended Audience: Speech Language Pathologists
Presenter: Janet Mclellan, Ph.D., M.A., CCC-SLP-L
(In partnership w/ the Diagnostic Center North; held jointly with SE SELPA)
