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 speakers, this conference features many vendor exhibits, early registration on Sunday 4-7pm, a Speaker Meet & Greet and Vendor Showcase on Monday 4-5:30pm and valuable door prizes. Nearly 500 SLPs attended the 2012 conference. Please join us in 2013 to network with your peers and to enjoy the Wisconsin Dells area.
