Disclosure: This learning event does not focus exclusively on any specific product or service.Differentiating language differences from language disorders is one of the biggest challenges facing the public school speech pathologist and his/her team.

The presenter will include examples from real life assignments in the public school setting.

With increased cultural diversity, it has become increasingly important that SLPs and all service providers be cognizant of cultural issues that can affect how we provide intervention. I found the information extremely interesting and appreciated the suggestions regarding ways that SLPs can educate teachers and parents about ways to better support students who are adjusting to new classroom settings - a new country and new language.
