Dr. Sturm's research and clinical interests include developing writing instruction for students with developmental disabilities and those who use AAC, computer-supported literacy, tying together literacy assessments and instructional strategies, and classroom communication. Course Summary The purpose of this course is for speech-language pathologists to learn about a comprehensive, high-quality writing program for students with mild to moderate developmental disabilities and those who use AAC. A Writer's Workshop approach, paired with strategy instruction, will be presented to target development of language, communication and writing with a broad range of students. Participants will learn about writing development and the assessment of writing quantity and quality in beginning writers. Development of multi-level, individualized writing and communication goals linked to the Common Core Standards will also be described. Case examples, from preschool to high school classrooms, will be shared. Learner objectives: 1. Summarize the core principles of Writer's Workshop approaches and strategy instruction models. |
