And we're off! Our first Frenzied SLP linky party and I'm so excited! We have been working hard behind the scenes to bring you a collection of the most trending topics. We invite all SLP bloggers to link up and welcome everyone's comments and feedback below.
Here's the best thing I learned this summer!
I attended a Learning and The Brain Conference in Wellfleet, Mass (Cape Cod). I know, lucky me! Funny story: I did my first PeriscopeTV while walking to the conference and got lost on the way home because I wasn't paying attention. Anyway, I learned a whole lot about the neuropsychology of learning and have highlighted the subcategories of the three areas of learning discussed. Today I bring you reading!
As you are probably aware, language plays a huge role in reading and SLPs are a critical part of the collaboration team. I hope these subtype breakdowns help you to better understand the learning processes of reading. This knowledge can assist an RTI team, evaluation team, as well as inform parents of your role in the academic subject areas.
