We would like you to be the first to know that we have submitted a proposal to be part of the 2022 ASHA Convention in New Orleans!
What is the ASHA Convention?
“The ASHA Convention is one of the largest professional development events for audiologists; speech-language pathologists; and speech, language, and hearing scientists. Bringing together approximately 15,000 attendees, the annual Convention offers more than 2,500 sessions eligible for ASHA continuing education credit covering the latest research, clinical skills, and techniques in communication sciences and disorders.” Learn more about the ASHA Convention.
What is ASHA?
“The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is the national professional, scientific, and credentialing association for members and affiliates who are audiologists, speech-language pathologists, speech, language, and hearing scientists, audiology and speech-language pathology support personnel, and students.” Learn more about ASHA.
Why we would like to attend?
Our participation at the ASHA Convention has a two-fold purpose. We will introduce Sing and Speak 4 Kids to speech-language professionals who can benefit their clients (both children and their parents) with a fun, easy and effective supplement to their practice, and also seek feedback on our program and the professional training we provide.
In our presentation at the ASHA Convention, our multidisciplinary team, including an SLP, Music Therapist and Edtech developer, will describe the creation of Sing and Speak 4 Kids (SS4Kids), an innovative music-based program to support speech and language development in young children with speech delays. We will explain the lessons learned including the dynamics, challenges and successes over 15 years to develop a successful evidence-based online program for integrated professional and in-home facilitation. Our in-program progress tracking, quantitative data graphics, focus group and user feedback, as well as video examples of program usage will be presented. Clinical implementation and implications will also be part of the discussion.
We will keep you informed if our proposal is accepted to present at this very important ASHA Convention 2022.
