SLP Summit

SLPs often wonder what their role is in supporting literacy for students with language-based learning disabilities including dyslexia. When considering the Literacy Processing Triangle, the connection of phonology, orthography, and semantics we know that SLPs hold the skills to support students in areas that are often missing in traditional literacy instruction. We will dive into how SLPs can weave literacy intervention into the skills they already target.

Objectives

1. After attending this session, participants will understand the literacy processing triangle and activities that support each of the bases of the triangle. 

2. After attending this session, SLPs will understand their critical role in supporting literacy intervention. 

3. After attending this session, SLPs will have a number of tools, strategies, and techniques to support students with dyslexia.
