School Age Language, Literacy, & Learning

Catalog description

This course explores language disorders of school-age children and adolescents and the evidence-based interplay of language and literacy and its implications for intervention in this age group. Reading and writing development, assessment, intervention, and issues related to delivery of literacy services in schools will be presented. The course emphasizes the role of the school SLP in collaborating in scientific research-based interventions (SRBI), the Planning and Placement Team (PPT), and individualized education program (IEP) processes, as well as the integration of curriculum (e.g., WI-DPI requirements, and Common Core State Standards) in SLP intervention. The roles of cultural, ethnic, gender, and linguistic differences will be highlighted. Prerequisite: 513.
