You may be familiar with the Speech Retreat – the first all day conference designed specifically for school based SLPs by school based SLPs, founded by Hallie Sherman, Felice Clark, Maureen Wilson, and myself. We have thoroughly enjoyed traveling the country since 2017, and have visited Anaheim, Chicago, New York City, Raleigh, and Houston.
Our 2020 event was scheduled to take place in Indianapolis; unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we have had to change our plans…
ANNOUNCING SPEECH RETREAT: RECHARGE!
We’re going completely virtual and online this year! We’re keeping the same date of Saturday, July 18, 2020, and I hope you will join me!
The details:
- 6 hours of CMHs of practical, real-world therapy topics, broadcast live
- Hundreds of engaging, fun therapy ideas that you can implement in 10 minutes or less
- $40+ of digital therapy materials
- $35+ value swag box mailed directly to your home
- Topics for preschool through middle school
- SLPs, CFs, and SLP-As welcome!
For those who have joined us at the Speech Retreat before, this will be new content! Whenever it is safe to resume in-person events, we plan on coming to Indianapolis with the same great content audiences across the country have come to know and love – but we wanted to make this online event helpful for new and old friends alike!
We know how hard it is to stay focused during professional development, and we have deliberately made our topics bite-sized (30-40 minutes each), with fun things planned in between!
We have even invited some very special guests to join us – Rachael Baethge (Texas Speech Mom) who will be speaking on preschool ideas, and Nina Reeves (Stuttering Therapy Resources), who will be sharing ideas for stuttering therapy.
While we unfortunately can’t hand out our amazing swag bags, we will be mailing a special package directly to your house (estimated value $35+)! Also included in your ticket purchase is $40 worth of digital therapy materials. Tickets are $97 (although our friends who had tickets to Indianapolis in July will receive a special discount).
I will be honest, I am sad not to be able to see everyone in person like we planned, but we’ve done our best to make lemonade out of the situation, and I hope you will join me!
Online ticket sales will be open until July 10, but you need to grab your seat by June 1 to get the swag box mailed to your house! (If you had a ticket to Indianapolis, please do NOT buy a new ticket – we are in the process of converting those tickets over and processing partial refunds this week. If you haven’t gotten an email about that by May 15, please send me an email at natalie@slpnataliesnyders.com and we’ll get it sorted out!)
Let me know if you have any questions, and I would love to have you join me for a one-of-a-kind opportunity this summer!
Hi. I was just wondering if we are able to get ASHA CEUs for the speech retreat. Let me know. Thanks!
Hi there! The Speech Retreat offers 6 CMHs (clinical maintenance hours), which count for ASHA’s continuing education requirement, but will not be added to your CE registry, if that is something you pay for. You will just need to keep the certificate of attendance. (To become ASHA CEU-certified would require us to add about $75 to the ticket price, which is not a cost we wanted to pass on.)
Is there a way to manually add to CE transcript? I am also wondering about this
Thanks!
ASHA does not currently support that capability, but you’re always welcome to reach out to them to suggest it! But as long as you keep your certificate (either paper or digital), and can show it if you are audited, you’re all set in terms of state and ASHA requirements.
Ok thank you for the information. I appreciate it!
If we already registered for the one in July do we have to register for this too? Or is our info already in?
Hi, Bailey! Sit tight if you have a ticket for Indianapolis – we are processing partial refunds this week, and you should have an email with all the details by next week (follow up with me if you don’t get it for some reason at natalie@slpnataliesnyders.com). You also get a special discount or being an Indy ticket holder – your price is $50, while regular price is $97. Thank you for asking!
Hi! Is this only offered live that day or will they be recorded to access at a different time?
Hi, there! You will have access to all of the recordings after the event, but all of the giveaways will only be live, if that makes sense.
For speechies living outside the US, are we able to receive digital versions of the products that will be mailed to speechies in the US?
Hi there! The digital materials will be available for everyone to access online, and our shipping company is able to ship the swag bag to several countries outside of the US, including Canada, Northern Ireland, and Puerto Rico – feel free to email me at natalie@slpnataliesnyders.com if you are in another country and I can double check that for you! There is an additional shipping cost for us, but we have chosen to not pass that cost along to our international attendees. (The only thing is that we cannot guarantee it will arrive in time for the event of July 18, as international shipping has slowed down with the coronavirus.). I hope that helps!
