Description:
SLPs who
practice in schools may struggle to develop evidence-based interventions for
students with developmental language disorder (DLD), especially methods that
are aligned to their state’s academic standards. This webinar will
define and discuss DLD as it relates to the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA) regulations. The speaker will explore curriculum-based
language assessment methods aligned to grade-level academic standards and share
evidence-based interventions to treat DLD in early childhood and elementary
school settings.
