Speech-Language Therapists Bring Attention to the School District of Oconee County at 2009 SCSHA Conference

The South Carolina Speech-Language Hearing Association annual conference was a huge success for our Oconee County presenters. Samantha Green and Kristi Ruhland (with the help of Jessica Matheson, Sandra Mattox, and Jody McKibben) presented to a packed house (around 500 or so!!!) about Sounds in Motion (SIM). SIM can provide the school-based clinician with the opportunity to work on articulation stimulation, auditory perception, phonemic awareness and vocabulary development simultaneously with an entire class while incorporating the use of body movements. Our team received lots of positive comments in addition to an invitation to return next year and even possibly teach a short course on SIM. The next SCSHA conference is February 18-20, 2010, in Columbia, SC, at the Columbia Convention Center.

Thanks for making Oconee County shine!! We're proud of you!
