For Speech-Language Pathologists to be functional and intentional in addressing the language needs of youth with increased risk of involvement with delinquency and the “justice” system, an in-depth understanding and preparation of culturally relevant and appropriate goal writing is necessary. This webinar is designed to provide an immersive hands-on training to developing CAARV™ goals that are SMART.

Speech-Language Pathologists are one of the first professionals to come into contact with at-promise youth placed at-risk for delinquency and/or involvement in the “justice” system. In order to effectively assist clinicians in being clinically equipped and prepared to combat the school-to-confinement pipeline this course will begin the dialogue on transforming your clinical practice and approach. Pt. I will focus on transforming your language to support youth placed at-risk for delinquency, conducting transformative assessments and evaluation reports, and learning more about how the juvenile injustice system affects the youth on your caseload, in order to evoke change.

Speech-Language Pathologists are one of the first professionals to come into contact with youth classified as special populations (ASD, TBI, DS, ID, etc.). An area we do not discuss with this population is their increased risk for delinquency and/or involvement with the “justice” system. To effectively assist clinicians in being clinically equipped and prepared to combat the school-to-confinement pipeline for youth diagnosed with ASD or TBI, this course will continue the dialogue on transforming your clinical practice and approach. Pt. II will focus on utilizing your transformed language to conduct transformative assessments, write evaluation reports, and create relevant SMART Goals.
