SUMMIT OG Fall 2026

You're a seasoned SLP. You’re great at what you do.

So why do you still have doubts when it comes to supporting reading and writing?

You keep hearing about the science of reading, structured literacy, and the growing role SLPs can play.

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.
You turn away private reading cases because you don't feel confident enough to take them on.
You feel like the only SLP in the world who cares about reading.

Hi, I'm Elizabeth. I refuse to believe PD has to be boring.

I spent over a decade as a school-based SLP in NYC, completely lost on how to help my students with reading. There were no answers on where speech pathology ended and reading instruction began.

So I found them myself and once I saw how the science of reading connects straight to our language expertise, everything changed.

I left the school system, built a private practice specializing in literacy, got certified by the Orton-Gillingham Academy and the International Dyslexia Association, and even started doctoral studies.

What I learned along the way transformed my student outcomes and, honestly, the trajectory of my career. I Knew I had to share the science of reading with more SLPs. And I refused to let the PD I created be boring.

That energy is why I threw our first Reading SLP Summit... and why 6,000+ SLPs showed up for it. So obviously, we're doing it again.

This is our second annual Reading SLP Summit — free, from your couch, zero travel required — and every speaker was hand-picked because they're the real deal on the challenges you face every day. This is the event I wish someone had handed me on day one. Let's make literacy PD fun!!!

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.

If I attended the previous summit, should I join this one too? OMG YES. We have an all new, incredible line up of speakers presenting on entirely different topics. This is an amazing chance for even MORE FREE learning!

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. Whether 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.
