Many SLPs struggle to teach social language/pragmatic skills for a variety of students, some of whom meet special education eligibility requirements. This course highlights social language skills from an educationally relevant / school curriculum perspective and discusses the SLP’s role with all students in regular and special education. Many social language functions are described, and several case studies are presented. Participants will identify inappropriate social language and prioritize goals and service delivery models for the case studies provided.
