Preview: March 2022

Spring has sprung… somewhere…It’s March, which means it’s spring… at least it’s spring somewhere… Here in Massachusetts it’s still winter until at least May, but we are getting there! We are looking forward to a great lineup this spring - here is what you can expect for the month of March!Our Call for Papers is still open, but closes March 15th!We are actively working on planning Season 4, and we would love to learn from you. We are passionate about distributing knowledge, and we feel strongly that knowledge does not have to come from researchers. Working clinicians have so much to share with our community. If you have something to teach your community, we encourage you to submit a topic and come onto the show and discuss it with us. The call for papers is analogue to a traditional conference. You will need a title, learning objectives, description, and a few references. Check out this link to learn more and submit!SLP Masterclass: Goal Writing and Progress Monitoring in Complex CommunicatorsEarly Bird Registration for our SLP Masterclass “Goal Writing and Progress Monitoring in Complex Communicators” is open!

This class is being offered for 1.55 ASHA CEUs with the option for 1 graduate level credit, which may count towards a lane change or pay increase if you are a school based SLP.
