Course Description

This course is provided by BYU with CIAO Seminars as the ASHA Approved Provider.

This course will discuss the role of phonological representations as they relate to the development of both speech sound production and literacy skills. The course will focus on improving clinicians' ability to identify risk factors for literacy disorders in children who have speech sound production difficulties. Discussion will include appropriate assessment tools to consider and how to incorporate orthography into speech sound treatment. The benefit of this overall course is to help clinicians see the overlap between speech sound production and literacy and to identify appropriate roles for assessment and treatment.

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the overlap between speech sound production skills and literacy
  • Explain the comorbidity between speech sound disorders and reading impairments
  • Identify the role of phonological representations
  • Discuss the risk factors and outcomes for children with persistent or remediated speech sound disorders as well as those with dyslexia
  • Discuss the SLPs role in facilitating literacy skills for children with speech sound disorder and those with dyslexia
