Sarah Bookout, MA, CCC-SLP, presents practical, evidence-based approaches for supporting functional speech and language development in adolescents and young adults with Down syndrome, with a focus on skills that make a real difference in daily life.
What does meaningful progress look like after high school? This course focuses on building communication that supports participation, independence, and self-determination across school, vocational, and community settings. You will explore intervention strategies that strengthen expressive and receptive language, social communication, and self-advocacy, while keeping goals grounded in everyday routines and real-world expectations.
With an emphasis on carryover beyond the therapy room, this session shows how to design therapy that translates into functional outcomes. You will leave with concrete tools and practical ideas you can implement right away to support adolescents and young adults with Down syndrome as they move toward greater independence, engagement, and quality of life.
