SUMMARY:E&I Speaker Series: Ruha Benjamin
DESCRIPTION:From automated decision systems in healthcare\, policing\, education and more\, technologies have the potential to deepen discrimination while appearing neutral and even benevolent when compared to harmful practices of a previous era. In this talk\, Ruha Benjamin takes us into the world of biased bots\, altruistic algorithms\, and their many entanglements\, and provides conceptual tools to decode tech predictions with historical and sociological insight. When it comes to AI\, Ruha shifts our focus from the dystopian and utopian narratives we are sold\, to a sober reckoning with the way these tools are already a part of our lives. Whereas dystopias are the stuff of nightmares\, and utopias the stuff of dreams… utopias are what we create together when we are wide awake. \nSign up for this event

SUMMARY:How Developmental Language Disorders Shape Communication\, Learning and Behavior- Member School HRS Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:With Dr. Sonja Bradford\, CCC-SLP \n\nMarch 28\, 2024\n6:00-7:00pm PST \nWe continue to develop our understanding of support for students with dyslexia and language-based learning differences by dismantling the learning barriers they face in the classroom. However\, unrecognized language disorders\, especially developmental language disorders (DLD)\, are a barrier that significantly hinders successful learning experiences. Students may be mislabeled behaviorally with terminology such as “disengaged\, socially inappropriate\, or shy” when\, in fact\, they may be struggling to manage the language demands of their environment. This presentation will explore the nature of developmental language disorders and their impact on academic and social success. It will also provide resources for speech-language pathologists\, teachers\, and families to better support these learners. \nSonja Bradford is the Director of Speech and Language Services at Hamlin Robinson School. As an ASHA-certified speech-language pathologist\, she has led education and training to address speech\, language\, and communication disorders HRS for over ten years. Her team focuses on maximizing every student’s potential to comprehend information and effectively express themselves to prepare for each stage of their academic journey. In addition to her work at HRS\, Sonja has maintained a successful private practice supporting students in the Seattle metro area for over 20 years. She is an author\, speaker\, mentor\, and community leader. As vice Chair of the WA State Board of Hearing and Speech\, Sonja works with Washington state and national leaders in speech\, language\, and hearing to ensure that every student in the state has access to communication\, diagnosis\, and treatment\, and helps train the next generation of speech-language pathologists through mentoring partnerships. \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:A Path to Independence: Guiding Children in Managing Time\, Space and Materials- Member School HRS Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:With Sarah Ward\, M.S.\, CCC/SLP  \n\nFebruary 8\, 2024\n6:00-7:00pm PST \nExecutive function skills refer to the mental skills we use to pay attention\, to organize and plan\, to start tasks and stay focused on them\, to manage emotions and be flexible\, and to keep track of what we are doing. Young children rely on these skills to follow a sequence of instructions while older children need these skills to “break a task down” into a sequence of steps as the demands for independent learning increase. Executive function skills impact students at home\, in school and in social situations. Join us to learn more about executive function skills and practical strategies to support students. \n  \nSarah Ward\, M.S.\, CCC/SLP has over 25 years of experience in diagnostic evaluations and treatment of executive dysfunction. Ms. Ward holds a faculty appointment at the Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions. She is an internationally recognized expert on executive function and presents seminars and workshops on the programs and strategies she has developed with her Co-Director Kristen Jacobsen. Their 360 Thinking Executive Function Program received the Innovative Promising Practices Award from the National Organization CHADD. She has presented to and consulted with over 1\,600 public and private schools in the United States\, Canada\, and Europe. \nRegister here!
