PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Dear OSSPEAC Members,
I hope this newsletter finds you all to be well and enjoying what might actually be spring popping
up across our great state. I wanted to give everyone a few words of encouragement as you all finish up your IEPs, ETRs, progress reports, and other paperwork for the remainder of the school
year. It is almost summer break, and we can do it! One of the things that helps me through when
days at work get long and overwhelming is looking ahead to summer. OSSPEAC has many great
events and opportunities for you to participate in this summer and into the fall. Please take a minute to look through this month's newsletter. It is chock full of great information on multiple regional events, CEU opportunities, and information on the upcoming OSSPEAC fall conference. Your board and conference committee will be hard at work this summer to continue to advocate for and plan for your professional needs. I hope this is a spring of growth and looking forward
to a summer full of fun activities.
Lisa Smith

2016 LEGISLATIVE RECEPTION
Did you know that OSSPEAC has started a great new Facebook Group? This group is for OSSPEAC members with the
purpose of discussing and communicating about relevant
topics facing Ohio SLPs and Audiologists. If you have not

On April 5, 2016, The Ohio Speech and Hearing Governmental Affairs Coalition (OSHGAC) held their Legislative Reception at the State House Atrium in Columbus, Ohio. OSHGAC, founded in 1982, is a coalition of Ohio speech and
hearing professional organizations including the Ohio Academy of Audiology, the Ohio Council of Speech and Hearing
Administrators, the Ohio Speech Language Hearing Association and the Ohio School Speech Pathology Educational Audiology Coalition. The evening reception continues to be well
attended by colleagues and members of the General Assembly.
To help encourage your participation in the new FACEBOOK group we are offering a complimentary registration to one of the upcoming OSSPEAC sponsored regional events! Log onto the FACEBOOK group page and
post a response to the May is Better Hearing and Speech
Month (MBHS) post.
Get Involved!
OSSPEAC has opportunities
The legislative reception also provides an opportunity for
OSHGAC to recognize a legislator who supports issues that
directly affect the professions of audiology and speech language pathology and consumers with hearing loss and communicative disorders. We were pleased to honor Representative Tim Brown as the 2016 OSHGAC Legislator of the
Year. He was chosen for his work on HB 98, which names
May 14th as Childhood Apraxia of Speech Awareness Day in
Ohio. He sponsored the bill after meeting with a local family
support group in his district. Representative Brown was contacted by constituents regarding this issue that was near and
dear to their hearts. We honor Representative Brown because
he is a leader who listens and finds appropriate and meaningful responses to the matters that are important to those he
serves. The GAC recognizes that we have an ally in speech,
language, hearing and communication issues in Representative Brown and we are very appreciative of that.
OSHGAC is currently in the planning stages for a legislative
event in 2017. The membership will be alerted as soon as
details are confirmed. Your participation is necessary in order to affect policy changes in the state of Ohio. OSHGAC
extends our thanks Oticon, Inc., Phonak Hearing Systems,
Sivantos, Starkey, Inc. and Wide for their continued sponsorship of this event and our colleagues who attended the reception and helped make this a successful event.
for volunteering.
Committees will soon be
forming for next year.
We need your help and participation;
a little of a lot.
Make a difference!
Contact OSSPEAC and be a part
of growing this great organization.

This program focuses on treatment of
Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) especially
treatment using Dynamic Temporal and Tactile
Cueing (DTTC), a motor based approach
that is one of the leading interventions for
children with moderate to severe CAS. It will
emphasize clinical thinking and decisionmaking as central to the processes of selecting
and implementing any treatment approach.
Because principles of motor learning are
incorporated in DTTC, they will be introduced
and discussed in the context of ongoing
decision making during intervention. Rationale
and procedures will be described for children
of different ages and levels of severity.
Available evidence for the efficacy of DTTC
will also be presented. Video demonstration
and group discussion procedures will facilitate
active participation by program participants.
The content of this program is
designed to be appropriate for
parents as well as speech-language
pathologists.
