Diagnostic Center North (DCN) - Social Communication and the SLP
Virtual Training Format: Two 90-minute sessions on different days.
George is having a hard time making friends. In conversations, he sometimes interrupts
or changes the topic abruptly. He doesn’t pick up on nonverbal cues and often
misinterprets his classmates’ intentions or feelings. In the classroom, he struggles to
follow the rules. He always seems to be in trouble. His classmates sometimes tease him.
More and more SLPs are being asked to evaluate and intervene with students who, like
George, struggle with social communication. This training will address what social
communication is, how we assess it and evidence-based strategies for intervening.
Suggestions for providing services through an online format will be provided throughout
the presentation. Second training date: Monday, January 31, 2022 from 2:00-3:30 PM.
Participants Will:
- Define social communication and its disorders.
- Assess students’ social communication.
- Implement evidence-based interventions for students who struggle with social
communication.
A Certificate of Completion is available to participants. This may be used to document
professional development hours or applied towards the credential requirements for
Education Specialist Level II non-university activities. The Diagnostic Center is also a
California Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Board approved continuing
professional development provider.
