In Conversation with Courtenay Norbury
About
Courtenay will facilitate an evening of discussion around oral language intervention. It will take the form of an informal Q and A session - guided by participants' questions.Some possible areas of focus include:
If we adopt traditional language goals (e.g., “use correct verb tenses”) these may not always translate into functional communication improvements in everyday life. What advice do you have for goal selection?
Many children with language disorders have working memory deficits, making it harder for them to retain and process language. How can we account for working memory?
High school students often have language levels below what is required for them to access knowledge from the curriculum. Should we adjust the content for them or prepare them for learning different topic areas?
Classroom environments are language-heavy, placing children with language disorders at a severe disadvantage; how can we best advocate for them?
