Speech Webinar– Contemporary Research, Lived Experiences & The Neurodiversity Paradigm

2025-2026 ESC SLP Statewide Webinar Series

Our ESC Collaboration has been putting Texas school-based SLPs first since 2012. We offer top quality webinars with highly respected presenters in the field of communication. Our interactive webinar series has proven to be an excellent source of continuing education for speech-language pathologists and other school staff.

This is Webinar (10 of 10)

Description: A rapidly expanding body of peer-reviewed autism research, particularly from Autistic scholars and qualitative studies centering Autistic experiences, is reshaping how autism services providers approach assessment, goal development, and intervention. Grounded in this research and guided by the principles of the neurodiversity paradigm (Walker & Raymaker, 2021), this session examines what ethical, evidence-informed support for Autistic students can and should look like in public school settings.
