Announcement: Pediatric Assessments in Speech and Language Pathology

from SLP Nerdcast · host Kate Grandbois, MS, CCC-SLP, BCBA, LABA; Amy Wonkka, MA, CCC-SLP.

You asked, and we listened. Research tells us that as SLPs we rely heavily on standardized assessments, even though the samples are often biased. Not to mention, our complex learners are not represented in these samples. Standardized tests are not designed to measure individual changes in functional communication, so when we use them in assessments for complex learners we often aren’t measuring the skills that are meaningful to our clients. So the question becomes - what can we as clinicians do to conduct and write better assessments? How can we measure meaningful skill change in our more complex learners? After a lot of feedback from all of you we decided it was time to offer something with a little more depth, where we can really dive into the practical application of quality assessment skills and measurement. After so much feedback from all of you, our SLP Masterclasses Comprehensive Assessments in speech and language pathology is finally up and running. It’s being offered for 1.5 ASHA CEUs AND 1 graduate level credit through our partnership with Fitchburg State University. The course is four weeks long and all asynchronous, which means you can learn on your own time. The course starts on October 13th but registration closes NEXT WEEK on September 29th 2021! If you can’t make it this go around don’t worry, we will open it again, but make sure you sign up on the waitlist to give you early access next time the course opens.If you have more questions or want to learn more, check out the course info page on our website www.slpnerdcast.com. __SLP Nerdcast is a podcast for busy SLPs and teachers who need ASHA continuing education credits, CMHs, or professional development.
