A Message from Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

Regardless of my SLP services setting, technology goes with me wherever I go for work! I am beyond excited to share with you the most effective and efficient technology tools and resources that I have put into practice with my students. Since incorporating technology into my practice, I have discovered that all my students of all ages are more motivated to learn and experience greater success. I continue to see engaging behavior for technology-based learning, while becoming more efficient at helping my students meet and exceed their communication goals.

My goal for this one-day seminar is to provide you with numerous, highly practical technology-based tools and resources that you will want to put into practice on the next day. You will learn what is working in my own practice in the areas of technology use with assessment, progress monitoring/data collection, and intervention. I will model a wealth of technology-based assessments, data tools, and intervention resources to heighten your level of confidence and lower the inhibitions of technology use. You will be on your way to a quality technology-based seminar day with a digital resource site and extensive SLP digital technology handbook that will be readily accessible to you and your colleagues.

Please join me in this NEW seminar to learn technology-based tools and resources addressing assessments, data, and interventions that you can truly use immediately in your own practice. Come ready to talk, sing, play, read, move, and share a day packed with engagement, motivators, and ready-to-use technology ideas for the SLP serving students across various situations and settings!
