Effective literacy-based intervention approaches maximize schedules and treatment outcomes, support the general education curriculum and provide a functional means to support educational performance and daily living activities. Participants will walk away energized with information and specific strategies for speech and language intervention.
Learning Objectives - Participants will be able to:
- Identify benefits of using storybooks in intervention for culturally and linguistically diverse populations.
- Implement strategies to reduce therapy planning using storybooks, classroom resources, and academic topics.
- Describe the use of literacy-based interventions to support access to the general education curriculum in the least restrictive environment.
- Develop a plan to implement curriculum-based intervention to align with the specific teacher goals.
