asychronous expert talk: Daj Mitchell
Using AI Technology to Foster Literacy Development
For the overwhelmed SLP who’s passionate about literacy, it’s time to work smarter, not harder. Using AI and tech tools isn’t about replacing the heart of what you do - it’s about making space for it. Imagine shaving hours off your paperwork and planning so you can spend more time doing what you love: helping kids build confidence through literacy. These tools can simplify the chaos, give you back your evenings, and help you feel less like you’re drowning in to-dos. When you have the right tools in your therapy toolbox, you can serve your students on a whole new level.

Spelling Error Analysis
Whole-word analysis of spelling does not provide insight into specific error types and patterns used by students. Evaluating specific linguistic features of spelling errors can inform intervention and instruction. This session will instruct clinicians on how to use a multilinguistic coding system to analyze their students’ spelling errors.
