About

Belay Learning is pleased to present Bonnie Singer, PhD, CCC-SLP and Kristen Bator, MS, CCC-SLP for two days quality continuing education. This workshop will present a set of six graphics called Brain Frames™. Collectively, they can be used to structure and facilitate oral and written language comprehension and production across social and academic settings. The workshop will begin by briefly exploring the relationships between cognition and language, with an eye toward understanding how graphics can be used to support language processing and academic performance. Each of the six Brain Frames will be introduced explicitly. Participants will have ample time to explore how they can be used strategically by teachers, clinicians, and students within a variety of language instruction and intervention contexts to advance communication and academic success.
