Speech-language pathologists play a key role in supporting students’ access to the curriculum, particularly through the language skills that underlie reading development. This session will explore the strong correlation between speech and language disorders and reading disabilities and how SLPs can address literacy needs within therapy. Participants will learn practical ways to embed reading and language targets into speech therapy activities without significantly increasing workload. Strategies for supporting literacy development in students who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) will also be discussed. 0.25 ASHA CEUs
