The Equity Series is a virtual professional development experience featuring speakers and topics that represent the often misunderstood and under-identified needs of individuals from marginalized and minoritized communities.
Equity, as WE define it, requires intentionally ensuring that EVERYONE has access and opportunity to exactly what they need to succeed and thrive. With this principle at the forefront, The Equity Series aims to shed light on the barriers faced by marginalized groups and explore actionable strategies to promote cultural humility and justice.
Last year we asked you to REthink what equity means to you. This year, we want you to GET INVOLVED.
By bringing together professionals and advocates from diverse backgrounds, we aim to spark meaningful dialogue, share best practices, and cultivate a deeper understanding of how to create equitable environments in various settings. Whether you're an educator shaping young minds, a clinician supporting individuals' communication needs, a parent navigating systems for your child, or an administrator driving systemic change, your perspective and expertise are invaluable to this conversation. The online format of the conference ensures accessibility to a wide audience, transcending geographical barriers and allowing for robust participation from individuals worldwide. Together, let's embark on a journey towards a more equitable future, where every voice is HEARD, and every individual is SEEN and valued.
Welcome to the 2024 Embracing Expertise Series! We are thrilled to bring you the topic of LITERACY presented by Drs. Katy Cabbage and Jenny Zuk. Katy and Jenny have curated content to help practicing SLPs lean in to their role in reading. SLPs will learn about the foundations of reading couched within some popular theoretical frameworks: the Simple View of Reading and Stages of Reading Development. Don’t let the idea of theories scare you off – Katy and Jenny have made this material incredibly actionable, clinically-applicable, and chocked full of ideas for what to do tomorrow. SLPs will also learn more about supporting literacy from preschool to high school. SLPs who work with children who have language disorders and/ or speech sound disorders won’t want to miss the videos specifically delving into understanding the connections between these disorders and reading. This year’s Embracing Expertise Series is available on demand and is a must-see for SLPs working with children of any age and in any setting, and especially for those SLPs working in schools.
