FAQ
-
I am new to working with Language, Learning & Literacy across K-12 is this membership appropriate?
Module 1 is ideal for Speech Pathologists who are new to working with Language, Literacy & Learning across K-12. Final Year Speech Pathology Students and New Graduate Speech Pathologists are also welcome.

I feel confident working with students in K-2 however I want to expand my skills to work with upper primary and High School students. My caseload is becoming older and student needs are becoming more complex. Will this membership meet my needs?
Module 2 is focused on working with older students in upper primary and high school. | It will be a much slower pace and expanded version of my recent SPA Conference Workshop with additional resources, examples and many opportunities for questions and discussions. | In 2024 we will deep dive into Reading Comprehension, the link to Oral Language plus Writing Instruction and then also focus on Treatment Resisters | Everyone is welcome & all knowledge levels catered for.
