Join us for an in-depth professional development session designed to deepen educators’ understanding of the legal foundations and instructional practices essential to developing effective, standards-based IEPs for students with dyslexia. Participants will: • Recognize key federal and state laws, regulations, and guidance that direct IEP development and support students with dyslexia. • Identify the critical role of the enrolled grade-level general education curriculum in shaping the SB IEP process. • Develop comprehensive present levels of academic achievement and functional performance (PLAAFP) statements using multiple data sources, including baseline data for identified areas of need and the impact of dyslexia on a student’s access to and progress in the general curriculum. • Write measurable annual goals aligned with the PLAAFP and inform the specially designed instruction (SDI) required to support student success. • Design effective data collection methods to monitor progress on annual goals and establish systems for reporting progress to families. By the end of this session, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to create compliant, data-driven, and instructionally meaningful IEPs that support the unique needs of students with dyslexia. #DYSESC1

Are you a Reading by Design® trained educator seeking to strengthen your knowledge and skills in morphology and etymology instruction? Join us for a comprehensive virtual exploration of Morphology and Etymology in Volume 5 of Reading by Design®. This online professional development workshop will equip educators with a deep understanding of the essential role that morphology and etymology play in developing student literacy. Throughout this interactive virtual workshop, participants will examine the lesson structure and evidence-based practices for teaching morphological word parts to students. Educators will engage with a variety of multi-sensory instructional strategies for teaching morphemes through live demonstrations and breakout room activities, ensuring the learning experience is both practical and engaging. Additionally, we will investigate how systematic, explicit morphology instruction can dramatically enhance students' reading fluency, spelling accuracy, and comprehension abilities. Participants will discover actionable methods for integrating morphology instruction seamlessly into their existing classroom routines to maximize student learning outcomes.

A practical session for Diagnosticians, SLPs, School Psychologists, TSVIs, and TDHHs focused on the evaluation process for students who are Deafblind, Visually Impaired or Blind, and Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Participants will review different types of hearing and vision differences to understand that louder and bigger do not always guarantee access. The session will emphasize identifying appropriate accommodations and modifications based on varied sensory needs and communication modes, ensuring evaluations capture a student’s true skills rather than the impact of sensory differences. Additional components include guidance on collaborative practices throughout the evaluation process, considerations from the Legal Framework that influence assessment planning and decision-making, and a review of key information provided by assessment publishers to support valid, legally sound, and equitable evaluations. #VIESC1 #DHHESC1

This is a webinar session: Behavior—it’s everywhere, and as SLPs, we see it impact communication daily. But let’s be real… navigating behavior can sometimes feel like decoding a secret language. In this interactive, 3-hour virtual session, an SLP and a BCBA team up to break down the essentials of behavior science in a way that makes sense for speech therapy. We’ll tackle common behavior myths, decode tricky situations, and give you practical strategies to manage challenging behaviors while keeping communication at the heart of it all. Expect real talk, real strategies, and maybe even a few “aha!” moments along the way. Let’s bridge the gap and make behavior work for us, not against us!

This TEA training will equip participants with the knowledge and tools to strengthen co-teaching practices. Educators will define co-teaching roles and instructional practices, explore strategies to build and sustain effective partnerships, and apply co-planning tools aligned with high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) and diverse student needs. Participants will analyze the six co-teaching models (Friend, 2019) to determine appropriate approaches and develop an actionable plan to implement co-teaching effectively in their own contexts. Please note that this session has a coaching component. #MAESC1

Students with complex access needs often face barriers to participating in classroom routines, communication, and learning—but with the right assistive technology (AT), those barriers can be removed. This engaging 30-minute session introduces educators to practical low-, mid-, and high-tech AT solutions that support students with significant motor, sensory, or multiple disabilities. #LIDESC1, #ECSEESC1, #FAMESC1, #ATESC1 Want more?

Post-secondary planning is about preparing students for life beyond the classroom—and assistive technology (AT) can be the bridge to independence. This interactive 30-minute session will highlight practical tools and strategies that support self-advocacy, organization, daily living, and employment skills for students with disabilities. Participants will explore real-world examples of how AT can be embedded into post secondary IEP goals and daily routines, and leave with quick wins they can apply immediately to help students take meaningful steps toward independence.#LIDESC1, #FAMESC1, #ATESC1, #TRESC1 Want more?
