THE READINGSLP SUMMIT

You're a seasoned SLP and you are great at what you do. But somewhere along the way, you started feeling ready for your next professional challenge.

You keep hearing about "the science of reading" and "structured literacy."

You know reading is within your scope.

You know you can make a difference.

But you aren't sure how.

Every training you find was built for classroom teachers, not for you
You aren't sure where the line is between being a speech pathologist and being a reading teacher
You don't know how to make literacy intervention specific to the needs of the students on your caseload
No one in your building or district seems to be as curious about literacy as you are
You turn away reading referrals because you don't feel confident enough to take them on- and you're not ok with that anymore

Hi, I'm Elizabeth!

When I started my career in NYC public schools, I felt completely helpless on how to help my students in reading.

I knew my language work should matter. I just had no idea how.

I couldn't find trainings built for SLPs. I didn't know how to translate what I knew into literacy intervention. I kept wondering where speech pathology ended and reading instruction began, and nobody around me had answers.

So I found them myself.

I learned how the science of reading connects directly to our language expertise, and it changed everything.

I eventually left the school system, built a private practice specializing in literacy intervention, and have spent the last decade helping SLPs go from uncertain to unstoppable when it comes to reading.

That's why I created The Reading SLP Summit: my first-ever virtual summit, the event I've been dreaming about building for years.

Every speaker was hand-picked because they are leading this conversation in our field and speaking directly to the challenges you face every day.

This is the event I wished I had when I first became an SLP. I can't wait to share it with you.

frequently asked questions

Is this event designed for school-based SLPs? YES. The Reading SLP Summit was built for SLPs in ALL settings: schools, private practice, hospitals, early intervention, and teletherapy. Our speakers work across settings and will show you how to adapt every technique to YOUR context. School SLPs will especially love our two sessions on MTSS.

Will this help me start or scale with private clients? OMG YES. The science of reading movement has created demand and this summit will help you meet it. Parents are educated about dyslexia, orthographic mapping, and structured literacy, and they're actively seeking providers who understand the language processing piece. That someone can be you.

Is this event worth attending if I've been an SLP for years? ABSOLUTELY. Some of our most inspired participants are experienced SLPs who thought they'd seen it all. Fresh perspectives matter at every career stage. Whethere you're at year 2 or year 20, this will reignite you.

Is this event a good fit if I'm brand new to the field? YES. New SLPs fall into the grad school playbook trap the fastest. Learning from innovators NOW, before you're stuck in a rut, is the best time to build a practice you actually love.

Is this event approved for CEUs? You'll earn 8 Hours of PDH Credit and receive a Certificate of Completion, which you can apply toward your ASHA CCC Maintenance. The Reading SLP is an approved New York State CTLE Provider.
