As CLD numbers increase nationally, SLPs are being called upon to answer questions and provide services to students learning English as a second language, with little if any, formal training. This session is designed to provide SLPs with vital skills and knowledge needed to respond to the unique needs of CLD students. After a brief review of Part One, assessment and classroom support are emphasized.
