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.

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. |
