About this event

In this NEW seminar by outstanding Speech-Language Pathologist and Assistive Technology Professional Maribeth Plankers, learn the value of artificial intelligence (AI) for more time effective assessments, interventions, and productivity! Find out how AI may help you gain greater insight into your students' learning preferences, comprehension, and critical thinking skills. Make every day count in your practice with the use of AI tools and resources that your students can use to increase their communicative skills during and after your SLP sessions. Engage your students to become more successful communicators with highly practical AI tools and resources. The use of AI is an innovative new way to make assessments and interventions more effective and efficient. When you attend this seminar, you will receive an exclusive SLP handbook of AI tools and resources that address a wealth of student areas of need in Speech-Language Pathology— tools and resources that you can put into practice the next day!

Regardless of my SLP services setting, AI now goes with me wherever I go, personally and professionally! I am beyond excited to share with you the most effective and efficient AI tools and resources that I have put into practice with my students. Since incorporating innovative new AI tools into my practice, I have discovered that all my students of all ages are more motivated to learn and experience greater success. I continue to see a boost of engaging behavior and improved learning, while also becoming more efficient and productive at helping my students meet and exceed their communication goals. Everyone benefits!

My goal for this one-day seminar is to provide you with numerous, highly practical AI tools and resources that you will want to put into practice the very next day. You will learn what is working in my own practice, using AI in assessment, development of measurable goals and objectives, progress monitoring/data collection, intervention and generalization. I will provide you with AI tools to heighten your level of confidence and save you time. You will leave with an innovative digital resource site and an extensive SLP digital handbook that will be readily accessible to you and your colleagues when you return to school.

Please join me in this NEW seminar to learn about AI tools and resources addressing assessments, interventions, and your overall SLP productivity that you can truly use immediately in your own practice. Come ready to learn and share a day packed with engagement, motivators, and ready-to-use AI tools for the school-based SLP.

P.S. I know how valuable your time is, so my focus will be on sharing practical, ready-to-use AI tools and resources to enhance student's learning and boost your efficiency and productivity as an SLP!
