One of the most complex situation for a school-based speech-language pathologist is determining when to dismiss a student from services, particularly when the data is not clear and concise. We will explore how to better determine the reasons for lack of progress, how to write SMART goals for good data collection that will lead to clearer, concise outcomes, and how to explain the dismissal to staff and parents for a more collaborative, mutually understood conversation.

Communication may be our life’s work, but difficult conversations are still DIFFICULT! With other tasks and stressors vying for our limited time and resources, it is easy to put off having a difficult conversation in the hopes that the problem will go away. Unfortunately, the longer we avoid hard conversations, the larger the problem becomes. This presentation will provide a solution-oriented, step-by-step approach to starting and managing difficult conversations. Imagine a workplace with less stress, increased trust, and better outcomes for everyone. You’ve got this!

This session will be a fun, interactive and face-paced learning time. We will discuss how to take our tried and true, relevant goals of: “expanding MLU”, “using a variety of communication intents”, “demonstrating an understanding & use of age-appropriate vocabulary”, “asking ‘wh’ questions”, “demonstrating phonological awareness” … from goal to reality. We’ll discuss evidenced-based practices, current research, delivery models and training. Practical ideas that you will be able to use on Monday, will focus on all modalities of language, including listening, speaking, reading and writing. The experiences you bring will add to the learning. It will be a great time of collaboration!

Most of what has been written about AAC assessment focuses on the selection of AAC apps, software, and devices. While it is essential to do those evaluations well, these types of assessments happen quite infrequently. The need for increased stakeholder involvement in planning the assessments will be discussed along with the development of Fair Testing Practices, which can be used as a blueprint for testing in clinical and academic settings. The use of language sampling and considerations in data logging will be addressed. Participants will also gain insight into strategies for observational assessments, formal testing, and the use of informal protocols. The session will conclude with a discussion on interpreting, disseminating, and utilizing assessment result.
