Join the College of Health Solutions at Arizona State University for the third annual Speech, Language and Learning Intervention Research Symposium, held fully online March 30-31, 2023.

This is an interactive event where researchers, practitioners, students and community partners will meet to discuss this year’s theme, Practice to Research: Establishing Partnerships to Create Community-Based Solutions, focusing on research priorities generated from community partnerships to improve the quality of education for children with disabilities from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

Registration has closed for 2023. We will see you next year!

Conference presentations

The conference will feature three types of presentations with the goal of maximizing discussion between presenters and participants and creating partnerships between research and practice:

Oral presentations: Presentations by practitioner, educator or community partners discussing their role, experience and takeaways from research partnerships, followed by panel discussions including researcher collaborators.
Data-based poster presentations: Presentations that address the outcomes of collaborative efforts between parties with an invested interest in promoting equitable access to culturally and linguistically appropriate education to children from underrepresented and diverse backgrounds.
“Partnership highlight” poster presentations: Presentations that address the process of developing collaborations between invested parties and researchers as well as highlights of ongoing work.

About us

The Speech, Language and Learning Intervention Research Symposium is planned and hosted by a team of speech and hearing science doctoral students and faculty mentors at Arizona State University’s College of Health Solutions.

We are focused on the development of interventions for children with speech, language and learning disorders who come from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, addressing issues of equity, inclusion and access. This conference has been specifically designed in accordance with the philosophy that the development of effective interventions is dependent upon collaborative efforts from all invested parties — practitioners, educators and community members, along with researchers.
