SPEECH PATHOLOGY WORKSHOP

The linguistics department is sponsoring a speech pathology career workshop this Friday (May 20), featuring a talk by alumna Sylvia Soule (BA in linguistics, 2010):

After Sylvia graduated from UCSC, she completed post-baccalaureate work in speech language pathology at CSU Sacramento and an MS in communicative disorders at San Francisco State (SFSU). She participated in a grant program at SFSU that gives speech language pathologists specialized training to work with diverse learners with autism spectrum disorders. She has experience providing speech and language treatment for children and adults with various communication disorders, including language delay, articulation disorders, autism, and post-stroke and traumatic brain injury. Sylvia is currently working as a speech-language pathologist in the early intervention program (age 3 to kindergarten) at the West Contra Costa Unified School District.

The workshop will take place from 5 to 6 pm in the Silverman conference room at Stevenson College. Light refreshments will be provided.
