Join us for SESSION 3!

Susan E. Stewart and Calina Van Pelt are presenting a three-part workshop hosted by the Washington Speech Language and Hearing Association (WSLHA). These 90-minute sessions will occur on Zoom, and can be accessed by anyone and everyone interested in discussing the importance of an SLP’s role in addressing social-emotional development, and the workable strategies to intervene.  They will explore how children with communication, language and speech delays face co-occurring challenges in self-regulation, place qualified SLPs in a position to play a meaningful role in supporting the development of co- and self-regulation. The SLP is uniquely qualified to address self-regulation within communication intervention, and can bring this knowledge to a family and a team. 

Session 3:  Challenges and the SLP’s Responsibility to Best Practices. (Moving away from compliance and towards agency using social-emotional-learning systems) Change brings questions and often resistance. “If you want to know how a system works, try to change it.” Kurt Lewin. What might get in the way of SLPs implementing best practices based on the most up-to-date but sometimes lesser known research findings? We will discuss how the recognition of our own education and expertise can better equip us to educate our families, colleagues, families and communities.
