Students with CLN deserve scientific\, proven method ologies to facilitate the most efficient literacy acquisition. This two-da y workshop will focus on the word recognition\, decoding and encoding aspe cts of literacy acquisition\, rather than the language comprehension and v ocabulary side of reading. Hands-on practical application will be emphasiz ed throughout the series\, and participants will have opportunities to sha re experiences as they implement new reading and writing tools and techniq ues. \;\n\n\n\nParticipants Must Attend Both Days for ASHA Credits. Ap proved for 11 hours continuing education clock hours for Kansas licensed S peech-Language Pathologists by the Kansas Department for Aging and Disabil ity Services. This workshop is financially supported by the Kansas Departm ent of Education through TASN contract of the High Quality Instruction in Inclusive Learning Environments project.\n\n\nLunch Provided Both Days\n\n Please cancel by March 15\, 2024 for lunch count. \;\n\nDay 1 Agenda 8 :30 am - 3:30 pm\n\nDay 1 will kick off by centering our thinking on the s cience of reading and writing and the research with students with complex learning needs (CLN). Participants will discuss how discoveries in neurosc ience about learning to read have informed practice. Day 1 will continue w ith a focus on the assessment process for word recognition skills of phone mic awareness\, phonics\, spelling\, and reading connected text. Given tha t students with CLN have speech intelligibility issues\, topics will inclu de methodologies to assess phonological awareness and phonics to obtain ba seline data for instruction that teaches the accurate perception of sounds . Accurate perception\, rather than production\, has been shown to be crit ical in organizing the sound system for students with CLN. Assessment of s pelling\, comparing the use of multilinguistic coding to traditional appro aches will be addressed. Finally\, participants will explore how they can integrate assessment data across phonological awareness\, phonics\, and sp elling to support progress monitoring that drives instruction\, including using data to set meaningful IEP goals. \;\n\nDay 2 Agenda 8:30 am - 3 :30 pm\n\nDay 2 will shift from assessment to instruction aligned with the science of reading and writing for students with CLN. Overarching topics for participants will include phonemic awareness\, planning instruction fr om multilinguistic coding for prephonological and phonological spelling\, special considerations for phonics instruction and reading connected and d ecodable text for students with CLN. Participants will explore how they wi ll use this information to make instructional changes for their students. The workshop will culminate with an examination of writing as communicatio n\, targeting both spoken and written language. Throughout the workshop ca se studies will be used to demonstrate how to integrate\, layer\, and sequ ence the discussed literacy skills throughout daily instruction.\n\nOur Sp eakers\n\n\n\nJanet Sturm\, Ph.D.\, CCC-SLP\, BCS-CL\, ASHA-F\, is a profe ssor in the Department of Communication Disorders at Central Michigan Univ ersity.
