SYNOPSIS
This workshop will focus on clinically informative psycholinguistic models and impairment-based
therapies. The fundamental components and principles of these models will be highlighted so that
clinicians can more precisely define processing breakdowns to identify specific, targeted
interventions that optimize treatment outcomes.
Efficient assessment practices will be outlined, and five specific therapies will be addressed in terms of
their processing characteristics, treatment parameters, and some of the practicalities related to devising
and implementing treatment for individual clients. The five therapies are:
Ø

would understand the content.

At the conclusion of the event, registrants will be able to:
Ø Explain single-word processes, including the underlying operating characteristics of key processes
