Our ESC Collaboration has been putting Texas school-based SLPs first since 2012. We offer top quality webinars with highly respected presenters in the field of communication. Our interactive webinar series has proven to be an excellent source of continuing education for speech-language pathologists and other school staff. Join us in learning all year long through eleven exceptional online opportunities. Reinforce your current knowledge and add new tools to your tool box. In collaboration with ALL twenty Education Service Centers, we deliver highly relevant topics that impact SLPs every day; all conveniently accessed from your location. This course will examine how the idea of gestalt language processing can be a useful approach for the evaluation and treatment of individuals who communicate through echolalia. We will explore what it is, how understanding it can be useful to some children we serve, and what the current evidence we have says about it. This course will also explain the implications and ethics of working with sensitivity and understanding groups that are neurodiverse and groups that may need a specific approach due to cultural norms.

In order to ensure increased achievement and access to the general curriculum for students with disabilities, an individualized education program (IEP) process called "Standards-Based IEP" has been recommended as a best practice for achieving academic goals. The focus of this session is to learn more about the standards- based IEP process from the perspective of the school-based speech-language pathologist (SLP). As a result of this presentation, the participant will be able to 1. Develop present levels of academic achievement and functional performance (PLAAFP) that connect to the full and individual evaluation (FIE). 2. Draft measurable annual academic goals and short-term objectives/benchmarks that are aligned to state academic grade-level content standards. 3. Draft measurable functional goals and short-term objectives/benchmarks that support access to the general education curriculum. 4. Identify methods to measure and report student progress on goals and short- term objectives/benchmarks. The course titled "Standards-Based Individualized Education Program (IEP) Process: Supplemental Training for Evaluation Personnel" is recommended as a prerequisite to this course, but is not a requirement for enrollment. This program has been approved for 3 clock hours of continuing education credit by the Texas Speech-Language-Hearing Association (TSHA). TSHA approval does not imply endorsement of course content, specific products, or clinical procedures.

For people being supported by services, it is not person centered planning that matters as much as the pervasive presence of person centered thinking. If people who use services are to have positive control over their lives, if they are to have self-directed lives within their own communities, then those who are around the person — especially those who do the day-to-day work — need to have person centered thinking skills. Person Centered Thinking is a set of value-based skills that result in seeing the person differently and give us a way of acting on what is learned. In Person Centered Thinking, we have identified basic skills and tools that help learners understand and embrace this way of thinking. This course is for Self-Contain Teachers (high school and 18+). Mark Morris, NCMHID will be presenting.

Title IX is a vital federal law that ensures equal opportunities for everyone in education, regardless of gender. In Texas, it serves as a crucial tool in promoting fairness and preventing discrimination in educational institutions that receive federal funding. This law prohibits sex-based discrimination in various aspects of education, including admissions, athletics, and campus safety. Through Title IX, students, faculty, and staff have access to resources and support mechanisms to address instances of discrimination or harassment. By understanding and upholding the principles of Title IX, we can create inclusive and safe learning environments where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

The philosophy of the ACTIVE LEARNING approach is to give the child the opportunity to learn, and to step-by-step, achieve the pre-requisites that would enable him/her to learn at higher and higher levels. Individuals with multiple disabilities (cerebral palsy, visual impairment, cognitive impairment, autism, hearing impairment, etc.) are at great risk from developing reliance on others to interact with the world around them. Active Learning recognizes that every child/adult with special needs is unique and emphasizes simple ways to change the environment so that a child becomes an active participant and an engaged learner. This session will provide an opportunity to create Active Learning Materials that you can use in the classroom.

The cognitive demands required for writing is difficult for many students, however, it is far greater for students with reading or writing disabilities who struggle to stay engaged. In 1987, MacArthur and Graham studied fifth- and sixth- grade children with learning disabilities and found that students spent less than one minute planning for a paper they wrote. Researchers noted that “planning” consisted of writing a rough draft and rewriting the same sentences for the final draft. More than 35 years later, struggling writers are still experiencing the same difficulties that plagued classrooms long ago. In this session, we will discuss what good writers do and explore research-based writing activities that will help improve student writing experiences.

Through interactive discussion and case studies, participants will explore cases such as Dred Scott v. Sandford, Bush v. Gore, Texas v. Johnson, Miranda v. Arizona, Mapp v. Ohio, and Roe v. Wade as well as others to gain lesson ideas and strategies for teaching Supreme Court cases and using DBQs in their classroom. This session will equip participants with the knowledge and resources to engage students in document-based analysis, critical thinking, and informed discussion about the role of the Supreme Court in interpreting the Constitution and protecting individual liberties.

Join us for an engaging seminar that explores pivotal moments in American history through the lens of the Bill of Rights Institute’s curriculum, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. In this session, we will delve into three significant periods: the Great Depression, the World War II era, and decisions made in the 1960’s. During the first part of the session, we will examine the decisions made during the Great Depression, a time of economic crisis that profoundly impacted the lives of Americans. Through interactive discussions and activities, participants will analyze the policies and actions taken by the government to address the challenges of the era. We will also delve into the World War II era, a time of global conflict that tested the resilience of the American people. Through engaging conversation and primary source analysis, participants will explore the decisions made by the government. We will critically examine the balance between national security and individual liberties. Finally, we will focus on the decisions made in the 1960’s, a transformative decade marked by social and political upheaval. Through interactive discussion and lessons, participants will explore key events such as the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, and the expansion of individual rights. We will analyze events that shaped the course of American history and advancing the principles of equality and justice. This session will provide teachers with an opportunity for modeling activities, ready-made lessons, and discussion over the role of government, balance between security and liberty and the ongoing pursuit of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in American society.

The purpose of a food safety plan is to ensure the food served to children in the Child Nutrition Programs is safe. By controlling hazards that may occur or may be introduced into foods, school nutrition employees can safeguard food. An effective food safety program will help control food safety hazards that might occur during all points in foodservice ? receiving, storing, preparing, cooking, cooling, reheating, holding, packaging, transporting, and serving. A truly effective food safety plan needs to be developed for a specific school nutrition program (SNP). By developing a food safety plan for the specs of a school (equipment, staff, physical location, etc.), the number of hazards can be significantly reduced for that site. The goal of this 2.5-day workshop is for participants to take a detailed draft of a school-specific, HACCP-based food safety plan back to their SNPs. This instructor-led workshop incorporates individual work, group discussion, partner work, pre-made templates, and other resources.

With the increased volume of referrals for students suspected of having a specific learning disability comes an increase in the number of students who may have an Intellectual Disability (ID) or pervasive weaknesses (i.e., "slow learner"). These disabilities have distinct characteristics as well as overlapping characteristics. This session will focus on best practices in identifying ID to rule out other conditions and improve diagnostic precision.
