Laureate Learning Systems: Free Webinar on Syntax Assessment!

Laureate offers a free one-hour webinar conducted by Laureate’s President Dr. Mary Wilson (CCC-SLP). Attendees will learn to effectively use Laureate’s Syntax Tests CD for language assessments, AT and AAC evaluations, as well as pre-school and kindergarten screenings. Since scanning is built-in, the CD is also a useful tool for assessing individuals who use a single switch. Participants will learn how to produce and interpret the various built-in reports.

This webinar is free of charge if you gather 5 or more speech-language pathologists or special educators in one location. All participants will receive Laureate’s free syntax assessment CD prior to the webinar and Dr. Wilson will be available to answer questions during the session.

To schedule a free webinar, please call 1-800-562-6801 Monday to Friday between 8am and 5pm. Laureate will also create custom webinars on the topic of your choice.
