About our presenter

Presenter: Nichole Mulvey, PhD, CCC-SLP

Title: Purposeful, Functional, Meaningful: Curriculum-Based Intervention Strategies for the School SLP

Description: This presentation will discuss academic expectations for school-age children from a semantic, morphosyntactic, and social pragmatic perspective. Intervention strategies that are curriculum-based and address caseload needs through purposeful, functional, and meaningful targets and methods will provide opportunities for discussion of current caseload challenges for elementary, middle school, and high school students.

Nichole Mulvey, PhD, CCC-SLP is an associate professor at Eastern Illinois University where she serves as graduate coordinator and teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in language development and disorders and clinical skill development. She worked as a school SLP in rural Illinois for 10 years and continues to provide early intervention services in Illinois. Her research interests include language development and disorders, curriculum and instruction for language, and school-based issues.

Learning objectives

By the end of this presentation, the learner will be able to:

  1. Explain semantic, morphosyntactic, and social pragmatic learning expectations for success in school.
  2. Describe how academic demands for semantic, morphosyntactic, and social pragmatic skills change as children age and progress through school.
  3. Compare semantic, morphosyntactic, and social pragmatic learning strategies of children who demonstrate language deficits versus their typically developing peers.
  4. Outline an integrated, evidence-based therapy plan focusing on increasing semantic, morphosyntactic, and social pragmatic learning.

Agenda

TimeEvent
8:30–9:00Registration and continental breakfast
9:00–10:00What it means to “learn” in school and demands on the brain’s language systems
— A closer look at the Missouri Priority Standards and Show-Me Standards and how language is embedded as a priority for success in schools
— Deficits associated with DLD/SLI and the impact on successful learning.
— Introduction of case study, early elementary focus
10:00–10:30Curricular changes throughout grade levels and accessing the academic environment
— Beginning at the end: reviewing assessment plans and practices for demonstrating academic success from early elementary, middle school, and high school sources
— Required semantic, morphosyntactic, and social pragmatic skills for success on classroom-based assessments
— Continuation of case study discussion, assessment focus
10:30–10:45Break
10:45–12:15Making the connection between purposeful, meaningful, and functional assessment and intervention
— Current language assessment trends and psychometrics (is it a good test?)
— Using non-normative data to drive decisions – where can this fit in?
12:15–1:15Lunch
1:15–2:45Effective and evidence-based semantic intervention (with some morphosyntax) across the academic profile
— Continued case study with semantic focus at early elementary, middle school, and high school levels
2:45–3:00Break
3:00–3:30Effective and evidence-based morphosyntactic intervention (embedded within semantic and social pragmatic learning) across the academic profile
— Continued case study with morphosyntactic focus at early elementary, middle school, and high school levels
3:30–4:30Effective and evidence-based social pragmatic intervention (knowledge and application) across the academic profile
— Continued case study with social pragmatic focus at early elementary, middle school, and high school levels
