As Chicagoland therapists, this is a great opportunity for speech language pathologists, audiologists, and speech and hearing scientists to come together and learn about the latest technology and evidence-based practice in our field. More than 12,000 attendees are expected to gather at McCormick Place for this annual event. Multiple oral and poster presentations are offered by experts in the field, and an exhibit hall is set up for companies to showcase their products. Not only do professionals who have been practicing for years get to participate, but many graduate students are also given the opportunity to display posters based upon their research. I had the opportunity to present a poster at the 2012 ASHA Convention in Atlanta. The topic of my research was the complexity of narrative stories in school-aged children.

We are excited to learn new information that can be used in therapy sessions and help advance our skills and knowledge as clinicians, and to share this information with colleagues and families. ASHA's website is a always a great resource for information about speech, language, and hearing disorders.
