DAY 1 DETAILS

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) remains one of the most misunderstood speech sound disorders in pediatric practice, and research tells us why: studies consistently show that speech-language pathology graduate programs dedicate minimal time to CAS, leaving new clinicians underprepared to accurately identify, assess, and treat the disorder. This full-day intensive with Jennie Bjorem is designed to change that. Combining the latest evidence-based research with real therapy videos of children with CAS, participants will move from foundational understanding through hands-on characteristic identification, a comprehensive assessment walk-through, and an experiential CAS simulation, then spend the afternoon diving deep into treatment, including DTTC target selection, motor-learning-informed goal writing, and a live case study. Whether you are newly graduated or a seasoned clinician looking to sharpen your CAS skills, this is the practical, research-grounded day you have been waiting for.

DAY 2 DETAILS

Articulation distortions and phonological impairments make up the majority of speech sound disorders seen in pediatric practice, yet many clinicians report feeling uncertain about differential diagnosis, target selection, and long-term generalization. This interactive, full-day course with Amy Graham is designed to bring clarity and confidence to both assessment and treatment. Participants will move from a structured diagnostic framework into practical, hands-on application, including elicitation strategies for challenging sounds, selecting evidence-based intervention approaches for phonological impairments, and building generalization plans that extend beyond the therapy room. The day will also address real-world clinical decision-making, like what to do when a child presents with a mixed speech sound disorder, goal writing that aligns with evidence, managing different service delivery models (school, private practice, RTI), and adjusting treatment intensity for meaningful outcomes. Whether you are refining your articulation therapy or strengthening your phonological intervention planning, this course delivers practical, research-informed strategies you can implement immediately.
