Working with Bilingual Children and Families: Tools for Advocacy

Join us for an informative CEU event aimed at providing you with the necessary tools to advocate for bilingual children and their families. This 2-hour workshop aimed at SLPs will provide the legal supports for interpreter use, language for advocating for both speech-language therapy services and ESL in an IEP meeting, interpreting federal and state policy, and language for pushing back on the use of standardized test scores. There will be opportunities for discussion of individual cases and a book giveaway! Please join us and earn 0.2 CEUs. Ten percent of the proceeds will be donated to the Latinx commmunity of Pittsburgh.
