Letter from LuAnn Dukes, ASHA national conference scholarship winner I was extremely surprised when I received the telephone call that announced that I had won the the AGS Publishing scholarship to attend the national ASHA convention in San Diego this past November—I truly didn't believe I had won until I received my plane tickets!  November 2005 THE COUNTDOWN TO ASHA HAS BEGUN! By Erica Anderson We are excited about the ASHA convention, and would like to present the following schedule of events to you. Feel free to print out this schedule and bring it with you to the convention, so you won't miss a thing! November 2005 Bringing ASHA to You By Tina Eichstadt In all the planning and busy times before an ASHA convention, it's easy to forget that a relatively small portion of the speech-language-hearing community attends the annual convention each year. We wanted to take a moment to recognize each of you as active professionals in the speech-language-hearing field. In our recent scholarship contest, many of you wrote comments or notes to us about how much you'd love to attend the ASHA convention for the first time, for the second time, as a closing event to a successful career, and everything in between. October 2005 Congratulations to our ASHA Scholarship winner, LuAnn Dukes! Our scholarship winner for the 2005 national ASHA convention is LuAnn Dukes, MEd, CCC-SLP. LuAnn is a 30-year SLP veteran and has taught in a variety of settings. Currently, she works at James E. Bacon Elementary School in Jesup, GA. LuAnn has a Master's of Education in Speech Pathology and teaching credentials for both Speech Pathology and Deaf Education. October 2005 Gearing up for ASHA! By Erica Anderson We are excited about ASHA, and as we finalize our schedule of events, we wanted to hit the highlights for you. September 2005 The Tiered IDEA Model and its Implications for Speech-Language Pathologists By Erica Anderson As you are likely aware, there have been major changes with the 2004 reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA). President Bush signed these changes into law on December 3, 2004. One of the changes most noticeable to SLPs is the change in the eligibility criteria for Learning Disabled (LD) programs. In this article, we talk with Barbara Moore-Brown, EdD, CCC-SLP about what these changes mean to SLPs. September 2005 RTI Models: Teaching Before Testing Helps Students Learn By Erica Anderson In the August, 2005 edition of Topics in Language Disorders, Dr. Judy K. Montgomery, PhD, CCC-SLP, published an article about her recently-conducted study, "Responsiveness to Intervention: Teaching before Testing Helps Avoid Labeling." Below, we talk with the study's primary participants: Dr. Montgomery (JM), Barbara Moore-Brown, EdD, CCC-SLP (BM-B), and John Bielinski, PhD (JB). They will tell us about the study—its process, its outcomes, and its value for SLPs. August 2005 What's New in TheraSimplicity By Erica Anderson TheraSimplicity is an invaluable online collection of intervention materials. This virtual tool kit consists of high-quality images, activities, and speech-language-hearing, and cognitive resources. It also addresses all major content areas of practice identified by ASHA. The site is constantly changing to meet the needs of professionals in all areas of speech/language/hearing. This month you will learn about the exciting changes to TheraSimplicity that you can look forward to seeing in the near future. August 2005 ASHA Schools Scholarship Winner Follow-up By Anida J. Gonzales Levesque I wanted to thank you again for the wonderful opportunity to attend the ASHA Schools conference this summer. Although I have attended the National ASHA conference many times, I have never been able to attend the Schools Conference. I would not have been able to attend this year, had it not been for your award scholarship. August 2005 NSLAB completes its fifth year By Erica Anderson Our National Speech-Language Advisory Board (NSLAB) met on July 7, 2005, prior to the ASHA Schools Conference in Indianapolis, IN. The tagline for the city of Indianapolis, "It's so easy to do so much!" was certainly appropriate for the 5th annual NSLAB meeting, where the goal was making things easy-easy to discuss, easy to focus, easy to address a wide range of topics in an in-depth way. July 2005 Get to Know Michelle Eral, Creator of TheraSimplicity - Part 2 By Erica Anderson We are pleased to bring you TheraSimplicity, an invaluable online collection of intervention materials. This virtual portfolio consists of high-quality images, activities, and speech, hearing, language, and cognitive resources. It also addresses all major content areas of practice identified by ASHA. In the second part of a two-part interview, Michelle Eral, MS-CCC/SLP, creator of TheraSimplicity, takes time to tell the story of TheraSimplicity. June 2005 Meet Michelle Eral, MS, CCC-SLP, Creator of TheraSimplicity By Erica Anderson Relevant, customizable, advanced, invaluable. TheraSimplicity is a unique, online collection of high-quality Speech and Language intervention materials: images, activities, and reference materials. April 2005 Classroom Visit Inspires Third Graders to Write and Draw By Laura Kuhn What happens when a real-life author meets his readers face to face . . . and three generations inspire each other? Magic, of course. March 2005 What SLPs Might Learn About EBP from Reading Research Judy K. Montgomery, Ph.D. CCC-SLP Language is the basis of all literacies. Scholars in speech-language pathology, reading, and linguistics have recently penned the same sentiments (Juel & Deffes, 2004; Moats, 2001; Shaywitz, 2003; Wallach, 2004).
