  As Speech Language Pathologists, connecting literacy skills to language goals is an enormous benefit to maximizing student progress across the educational setting.    In this course, learners will critically assess the role of the SLP in literacy interventions, generate a literacy profile for a student, choose literacy components to incorporate into therapy sessions, and use a planning guide to develop target skills for therapy sessions. Learners will leave this course with tools to use tomorrow in sessions.
