Conference Topics

Thursday, April 7

On Thursday, April 7th, Amy Zamzo, OT and Heidi Kalina, SLP will be presenting on Understanding 21st Century Learners and Strategies to Teach Them. The latest research in child development shows that many children who have the brain and heart to succeed lack or lag behind in crucial “executive skills” -the fundamental habits of mind required for getting organized, staying focused, and controlling impulses and emotions. Children of the 21st century bring many challenging behaviors to the table for parents, teachers, and professionals. 

  • Amy Zamzo is an Occupational Therapist and Autism Consultant that has spent her 20-year career empowering and guiding children, parents and other professionals. She is dedicated to providing the necessary strategies, supports, and compassion needed to help all individuals be the best possible version of themselves. Her goal is to help all her clients become happy, independent, contributing members of society. 
  • Heidi Kalina is a Speech-Language Pathologist and has worked in public schools since 1998. During her career, she has provided services to children from birth to 21 years of age. She has seen the rewards of fostering independence in students with communication disorders and is excited to share these successes and strategies. 

Friday, April 8

On Friday, April 8th, the conference attendees will choose one session for the morning and one for the afternoon.  Dr. Sarah Robinson will speak on the teaching of vocabulary through her two presentations. In the morning session, the title of the presentation is Core Vocabulary: Not Just for AAC Users, followed by the afternoon session entitled Beyond tier II vocabulary: Which Words to Teach and How.   

  • Dr. Sarah Robinson is a faculty member at the University of North Dakota Communication Sciences and Disorders Department.  She has been a professor at the university for over 13 years.  A focus of her interest and research is the acquisition of child language and literacy skills.  
  • The alternative choice for Friday morning or afternoon is to participate in a Literacy Make-and-Take session with the staff from the Anne Carlsen Center. All of the participants will be making therapy materials that are related to specific literacy selections, visual schedules, core vocabulary boards, and more.
