The Therapists Role in Improving Pragmatic Language (Ensslen-Boggs - Live Interactive Webinar)

Course overview

In the public-school setting, there has been much inconsistency regarding professional roles and scope of practice with the assessment and intervention of students with pragmatic language deficits. All school-based professionals play important roles with these students. This course will increase your understanding of social competence and how it relates to pragmatic language. Participants will improve knowledge of factors that influence pragmatic language skills such as: developmental delays, social/emotional issues, and cognitive factors. Practical assessments and interventions will be presented and will be related to principles of developmental neuroplasticity. This course will discuss the differences between social skills and pragmatic language skills, and how these sets of skills fit into your scope of practice when working with the school-age population.
