The ASHA Convention is always a great place to meet the people we interact with throughout the year. So if you are at the conference, are presenting, or have a booth, let us know, or come see one of our presentations.

Standardized tests give us a snapshot of students’ language abilities. However, they don’t tell us whether areas of difficulty are due to a lack of experience often related to socio-economic or cultural differences. Learn how to effectively implement 3-5-minute dynamic teaching sessions that yield powerful information to accurately diagnose children, choose goals, and determine necessary levels of support.

Scott Prath presents on Friday with Edwin Brown of Therapitas
