WORKSHOP: Calgary, Alberta
April 17, 2015 | 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. (MDT)
 REGISTER NOW (Space is limited!)
Level: Intermediate
As schools and school districts explore the
implementation of Response to Intervention (RTI)
frameworks to address the needs of all learners,
students with language impairments (LI) are in danger
of getting lost in the shuffle. In this workshop, which is a
follow-up* to Dr. Ehren's November 2014 session at the
ACSLPA conference ("The SLP as a Significant
Collaborator in Schools: How Inclusive Practices and
RTI Can Make It Happen"), S-LPs will learn how to
design and structure interventions in collaboration
with classroom teachers. They will also learn specific
evidence-based practices to address the language
underpinning gaps typically found in students with LI.
Click here to learn more. This workshop is eligible for SAC CEEs.
Registration Fees:
$225 member | $125 communication health assistant associate | $110 student associate
*If you attended Dr. Ehren’s ACSLPA workshop, this session will build on prior knowledge and continue the conversation about intervention within the classroom. However, the first workshop is not a pre-requisite for the second; any individual is welcome to register for this event.
