13th Annual CESA 5 School-Based Speech-Language Pathology Institute
March 9 & 10, 2015

 Fee increase to $275 after January 30, 2015 
 

Purpose: This two-day conference provides speech-language pathologists (SLPs) hands-on, ready-to-replicate strategies and techniques to benefit the students they serve with speech-language disabilities. The conference also provides an opportunity for SLPs to re-connect with the greater community of school-based SLPs and to facilitate a cross-pollination of service delivery ideas. In addition to distinguished key-note speakers, this conference features vendor exhibits, breakout sessions, an ethics presentation and door prizes.

Each year nearly 400-500 SLPs attend our conference. Please join us in 2015!

  • Keli Richmond, MS, CCC-SLP, founder of LiteracySpeaks.com - "Why not? Enhance literacy and language skills while addressing speech sound disorders and childhood apraxia of speech!"
  • Trici Schraeder, MS, CCC-SLP, UW-Madison Faculty Associate - "Connecting to the Classroom Curriculum: the Role of the SLP"
  • More Breakout sessions!
     

Pre-Conference Session: Sunday, March 8 12:30-4:00pm  (You can add this pre-conference session to your registration for an additional $100.) 

  • Promoting Literacy and Language! Creating and Adapting Books SESSION FULL! (Registration closed - waitlist only)
    Judi Cumley, CESA 5 Assistive Technology Specialist
    SLP's and Educators are constantly looking for GOOD, appropriate books for students with significant disabilities. This fast-paced session will be a combo of “make-n-take” low to high tech books and exploring websites with options to either create your own book or read those that are already created. We will be using apps for the iPad and websites accessible to any platform, but resources and examples for the Chromebook and computer software will be shared. Participants should bring an iPad with permission/password to download apps. Have pictures available for creating your own books for students (student photos, school photos, choices, etc) in the iPad camera roll. Questions: email Judi cumley, cumleyj@cesa5.org
