TalkTrend Toolkit: Styling Functional Communication





Step into the world of communication couture with the TalkTrend Toolkit, a quarterly professional development experience designed exclusively for school-based speech-language pathologists working with students who have complex communication needs. Like a high-fashion subscription box, each Toolkit delivers a curated collection of ready-to-use materials to elevate your therapy sessions.

In this chic, 1-hour virtual session, held once per school quarter, we’ll unbox the Toolkit together and explore trendy, evidence-based strategies to promote functional communication for students with limited or no verbal speech. Learn how to weave these resources into your practice with style, ensuring every student’s communication shines. With four boxes and four sessions throughout the year, you’ll stay ahead of the curve, keeping your therapy fresh, engaging, and impactful.

Sign up today to transform your approach with the TalkTrend Toolkit—because every student deserves communication as bold and unique as they are!

Session materials and costs are partially funded by state or federal grants.
