On behalf of the Texas Speech-Language-Hearing Association’s President, Melanie McDonald, the Executive Board, and the 2015 Convention Committees, I welcome you to the 59th Annual Convention and Exhibition: “Reaching New Heights.” We will start things off with a GRAND OPENING of our exhibit hall at 9:00 am on Thursday, March 19th. TSHA’s President, Melanie McDonald, and the exhibit co-chairs, Leigh Ann Reel and Tara Blanco, will cut the ribbon to get you started in the Convention Exhibit Hall. Coffee and pastries will be served and we have exciting prizes to give away including a free 2016 Convention Registration and a free TSHA Membership! Bring the ticket attached to your badge to register for the drawing. There also will be drawings for prizes throughout the convention. Please check the agenda to find the times for these drawings. We are very excited that our keynote speaker, Phuong Lien Palafox, is a TSHA member whose speaking topic will be “Get Back to Great: A Journey of Meaningful Work, Valued People and Fabulous YOU!” Phuong Lien Palafox is a bilingual speech-language pathologist at Bilinguistics. We are excited to hear about her experiences of growing up as an English Language Learner, becoming a speech-language pathologist, and changing the lives of her patients, daily. She is a dynamic speaker who has a huge heart for this profession. You will walk away inspired and ready to reach new heights with your clients! The program committee, co-chaired by Erinn Hengst and Brittany Hall, has worked many hours putting together quality programming with over 180 presentations planned. There are a variety of traditional programming sessions, 6 ethics courses, many 101 course levels, 6 short courses, poster sessions, and 8 focused topics. We also are honored to welcome our major speakers: Dr. Cathy Binger, Dr. Charles Haynes, and Dr. Mary R.T. Kennedy. There are multiple opportunities to help you reach new heights and earn continuing education credit. I would like to remind you to arrive at all your sessions 10-15 minutes early if possible to guarantee a seat. With over 5,000 attendees and limited room capacity beyond our control, some sessions might close. Due to fire code regulations, the program committee has been instructed to post signs reading “Session Closed” when the room has met capacity. The Local Arrangement Committee, co-chaired by Kristina Kelley and Aracely Perez, has helped organize a school supply drive to benefit the Boys and Girls Club of San Antonio. Please contribute by bringing new and lightly used school supplies to benefit San Antonio youth. Drop off bins will be located throughout the exhibit hall on Thursday and Friday. Congratulations to our 2015 Convention Scholarship Winners!

Through my own stories and the stories of families I have served, I will touch upon the skills and heart-thoughts we need to bring to the table to support our English Language Learners and children living in poverty. I walk in your shoes, and I know how hard it is. Together, we will go on a meaningful and motivating journey. I can’t wait to see you.” – Phuong Phuong Lien Palafox is a bilingual speech-language pathologist at Bilinguistics. Over the past decade, she has worked as a public school SLP, a district lead SLP, education specialist at Region 13 Education Service Center and researcher at UT-Austin and UW-Madison.

Her work has been featured in the Communicologist, American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology and the ASHA Leader. Phuong’s presentations have won the hearts of speech-language pathologists and educators across the state. Her high energy and sincerity, conveyed through personal stories and creative messages, resonate with those who dedicate their time supporting others. As an English Language Learner who grew up with limited means, she personally understands the scope and depth of some of our clients’ and students’ needs. Her out-of-the-box thinking and time spent working with others have surely made an impact: “You were so motivating and inspirational.” “Thank you for pushing me towards a better me.” “I don’t feel so alone anymore.” Phuong has a passion for autism, culturally and linguistically diverse needs (including poverty), literacy-based interventions and service-delivery models for school-based SLPs.

DONATE The Cultural and Linguistic Diversity Committee is dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals with speech and language disorders in the state of Texas, and around the world. Speech and language therapy is often nonexistent for many individuals who need it most. Often in developing nations, individuals who have severe communication disorders may not ever have the chance to receive the help they need. We know that without help, some of these individuals may never learn to talk/communicate, will never have a chance to go to school with their peers, and many eventually end up institutionalized, or worse. It is our hope that we can be of assistance and show our support as members of TSHA. This year we would like to collect speech therapy materials to donate to some speech language pathology programs where they have limited resources. If you would like to participate please bring your donation to booth 356!!! 54 March 19-21, 2015 Level B = Beginner I = Intermediate A = Advanced Special Designation 101 = 101 Presentation EP = Ethics Presentation PP = Product Presentation PI = Published Intervention MS = Major Speaker FT = Focused Topic SC = Short Course BD = Bilingual Designation Medical Speech Pathology (cont.) 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm Presenters Nothing but the Breast: Put Your Knowledge to the Test Beth Allison Jones-Morgan, Stephanie Pepps Welch Level Special Cross-References B 101 Birth-3/Preschool When evaluating a breastfeeding dyad, the baby’s ability to suck and swallow is only 50% of the equation.
