The two-hour webinar will discuss the key components of the CCSS, compare alternate assessments and evaluate the role of the speech-language pathologist in the implementation of CCSS for students with severe communication disorders. After completing the 2-hour webinar, attendees will receive 0.2 continuing education units from the American-Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
