Presenter(s): Marilyn A Nippold, PhD, CCC-SLP
Credit(s): PDHs: 1.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.1
Summary: In this course, the presenter discusses logical fallacies that commonly occur in spoken and written discourse and the social implications of passively accepting biased, illogical, and inaccurate statements. These logical fallacies include, for example, the hasty generalization, the omission of evidence, circular reasoning, the anecdote, the slippery slope, the appeal to ridicule, and the false cause. The presenter explains why SLPs should assist adolescents to deconstruct logical fallacies and how they can do so while addressing students; skills in speaking, listening, reading, writing, and reasoning. The presenter takes an international and multidisciplinary approach, drawing from studies conducted by researchers around the world working in diverse professions (e.g., business, computer science, education, philosophy, psychology, and rhetoric).
Presenter(s): Lynne Telesca, PhD, CCC-SLP
Credit(s): PDHs: 1.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.1
Summary: This session discusses the benefits and steps to using a metalinguistic approach to writing with secondary students. The presenter shares research evidence that supports this approach and its benefits along with specific steps in how to tailor this approach when working with secondary students on academic writing across tasks, purposes, and audiences.
Presenter(s): Ginger G Collins, PhD, CCC-SLP
Credit(s): PDHs: 0.5, ASHA CEUs*: 0.05
Summary: Motivation often declines as children reach adolescence. Poor motivation inhibits participation and engagement in language-based interventions. The purpose of this presentation is to demonstrate how intervention can be designed to increase client motivation to participate in therapy while improving language-based literacy skills. This session presents motivation and behavior change techniques based on self-determination theory. It also includes examples of how to integrate these techniques into interventions with adolescent clients to satisfy their need for autonomy, relatedness, and competence while simultaneously addressing language-based literacy deficits.

Credit(s): PDHs: 0.5, ASHA CEUs*: 0.05
Summary: Many of the static assessments administered by speech-language pathologists have some degree of cultural assumptions and are often limited in representing diverse groups. This course provides strategies to assess standardized assessments' cultural and linguistic sensitivity and provides guidance for the use of alternative assessment options.
Presenter(s): Jennifer Shubin, PhD, CCC-SLP; Alaine C Ocampo, PhD, CCC-SLP

Summary: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, students, SLPs, and educational specialists faced unprecedented challenges and stressors related to learning and service delivery procedures. This session shares results from a study that explored resilience among high school students with language learning disabilities during the transition to online instruction as a result of the pandemic.

Summary: Motor planning is an individual difference that impacts much more than motor skills, including social-emotional skills and speech and language development. It impacts areas like executive functioning and written narratives. This presentation discusses the components of motor planning, how to support clients with motor planning challenges, and strategies for discussing praxis with caregivers.
