2014 Kahn Summer Speaker Series
Presentation: In this day-long event, Dr. McGregor will present a two-pronged seminar intended for speech-language pathologists in preschool and school settings. This talk will address developing children’s language in school and play contexts. It will begin by exploring play from historical, scientific, and clinical vantage points. Topics include types of play, the developmental course of play, play among children with disabilities, and the role of play in communication, speech, and language development. The second part of this talk will address how to provide effective vocabulary intervention for school-age children. Topics will include what it means to know a word, the time course of word learning, the mechanisms of word learning, how learning, memory, and usage are related, and how all these factors affect vocabulary learning and instruction. Goal selection, teaching strategies, teaching contexts will be explored and commercially available resources that satisfy evidence-based principles of intervention will be reviewed.
Speaker: Karla McGregor, Ph.D., is a Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders and director of the DeLTA Center at the University of Iowa, an Honorary Professor at the University of Sydney, and a Fellow of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
