Description

Spend the day learning from internationally-renowned language and literacy expert, Carol Westby, PhD, CCC-SLP, as she teaches you the roles of autobiographical memory, personal narratives, fictional narratives and life stories in social interactions, self-regulation and academic performance. Dr. Westby will demonstrate a variety of assessment tools for documenting development of these different types of narratives in children from preschool through adolescence. Through videos and case examples you will learn interventions using fictional stories and biographies to develop personal narratives and life stories for children with a variety of language, literacy and behavioral disorders. You will leave the day with strategies to develop students’ narrative skills to improve their social-emotional skills, self-regulation, self-identity and problem-solving. Strategies that will be taught include:

  • reminiscing to promote autobiographical memory
  • vocabulary for mental state/emotion words and the syntactic patterns needed to express relationships between events and mental states/emotions
  • how settings influence characters and events in stories
  • building narrative plots
  • how physical and psychological attributes of characters in stories affect their nature and behaviors
  • supporting students in making narrative inferences

Walk away with narrative interventions that will take you beyond the language and literacy work you do with children and adolescents to effectively develop their social-emotional, self-regulation and academic growth!
