10th Annual CESA 5 School-Based Speech-Language Pathology Institute
March 5 & 6, 2012

The next SLP Institute is approaching!  It will be held on March 5 & 6, 2012 at the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells.  To register, please visit www.MyQuickReg.com

This year, our keynote speaker will be Michael McSheehan, who is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders and Project Coordinator with the Institute on Disability/ECED at the University of New Hampshire. Other speakers include Alexandra Dunn, M.CI.Sc. (Speech-Language Pathologist from Ontario), Barbara Williams Hodson, PhD, CCC-SLP (from Wichita State University), and Blaise Winter (motivational speaker).

This conference provides speech-language pathologists (SLPs) hands-on, ready-to-replicate strategies and techniques to benefit the students they serve with speech-language disabilities.  The conference also provides an opportunity for SLPs to re-connect with the greater community of school-based SLPs and to facilitate a cross-pollination of service delivery ideas. 

In 2011, nearly 500 SLPs attended the conference, making it one of the largest speech-language pathologists’ events in the state and the nation.  We are anticipating 500 participants again in 2012!  Please join us to network with your peers and to enjoy the fantastic speakers.

New Requirement for SLPs who hold the state DSPS License (formerly the WI Dept. of Regulatory Licensure): By January 2013, SLPs and Audiologists must have two hours of Continuing Education in the area of Ethics. We are pleased to respond to this need by providing one CEU hour at the 2012 CESA 5 Speech-Language Institute.  More information is to come!
