Invitation from the Conference Planning Committee (CPC)

This keynote address is also timely as Speech Pathology Australia is launching the process to develop a Reconciliation Action Plan at the conference. Please note that new workshops have been added to the conference program in sessions M2A and T1C where previously Marion was to have presented her workshop. Please read the conference program section of this brochure for the details of these workshops. Dr Ron Gillam has an impressive and growing body of research, is proactive in bridging research and practice, and has taken the science and practice of speech pathology into new and immensely beneficial directions. This makes him a most fitting speaker for this conference where research is encompassed within the I N S P I RE theme. Ron will inspire us to connect research and practice and embed research outcomes in practice. Ron’s masterclass will focus on narrative assessment and delve into norm referenced and progress monitoring measures and how they can be used to inform an understanding of children’s narratives and inform intervention decisions and practices. In his keynote address Ron will summarise a large-scale study and discuss the implications of a new understanding of the factors that moderate and mediate language comprehension for conducting informative language assessments and for selecting interventions that are likely to yield the most functional outcomes for school-aged children and young people. Ron will co-present the seminar with Sandra (Sandi) Gillam. This seminar will describe a narrative program called Supporting Knowledge in Language and Literacy (SKILL) of which Sandi and Ron are co-authors. The instructional strategies in the program have been demonstrated, in a series of single-subject, multiple-baseline studies and a small scale RCT, to be beneficial to children with developmental language disorders, children learning English as a second language, and children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Ron and Sandi are co-primary investigators of a current three-year, multi-site RCT to test the outcomes of the intervention and potential generalisation to reading comprehension and writing. Professor Elizabeth (Liz) Ward, invited presenter of the 2018 Elizabeth Usher Memorial Lecture, will connect to the area of practice innovation incorporated within the I N S P I RE theme. She will inspire us to embrace new practice and service delivery models to ensure a continued strong professional identity and capacity to

meaningfully contribute in the modern education and healthcare landscape. She will discuss the benefits, issues and impacts of extended scope of practice initiatives and new models of care. In her presentation Liz will draw on insights gained within the public health service in Queensland. The CPC has worked hard to produce a program with an excellent range of high quality presentations in a range of topic areas that will be of interest to a wide cross-section of the profession. This was a particularly challenging process given the number of high quality submissions that were received. The information provided by reviewers greatly assisted the selection process and the CPC is grateful for the important contribution they made. In addition to the presentations by the keynote and invited speakers, the conference program features oral presentation, workshops, forums, presented e-posters (PePs) and posters. PePs will be five minutes and are peppered (excuse the pun!) through the oral sessions. Questions can be directed to all presenters during the interactive question time allocated at the end of these sessions. The 2018 conference sees the return of paper posters and interactive sessions with poster presenters. Posters will be on display within the exhibition hall each day with dedicated times during lunch on Monday and Wednesday for authors to speak to their posters and discuss their work with delegates. Delegates will have access to a PDF of the paper and PeP posters through the conference app. On Tuesday there is an exciting forum session on speech pathology in education. This forum includes both submitted presentations and presentations invited by Speech Pathology Australia. The forum is bound to stimulate questions and discussion about service provision in schools as we progress the vision of Speech Pathology 2030. The conference sessions conclude on Wednesday with an I N S P I RE -ing panel session! The conference is being held at the Adelaide Convention Centre (ACC) which has been completely transformed since our last conference there in 2009. In the heart of the city we’ll be using rooms at the western end of the complex adjacent to Adelaide BioMed City. The Welcome Reception is being held at the nearby National Wine Centre.

Come to Adelaide for a conference that will I N S P I RE you! I N S P I RE is about I N S piring P ractice I nnovation, R esearch and E ngagement. Through this conference the 2018 Conference Planning Committee (CPC) wants you to be inspired by the vision captured in Speech Pathology 2030: Making Futures Happen to: • develop quality services by staying informed of and actively engaging with practice innovations and advances, • take an active part in undertaking research to develop and refine the evidence base, • ensure the rapid translation of evidence to practice, • engage, connect and partner with others – people, communities and other professionals. The I N S P I RE theme of this conference: • captures the cycle of connection between practice and research: research informing practice and practice informing research • advocates for innovative practices to continuously improve outcomes for those with communication and swallowing disorders. Presentations by the keynote and invited speakers will connect with the 2030 vision and reflect the I N S P I RE theme. The CPC is fortunate to have secured Professor Dennis McDermott at short notice to present the keynote address on Monday morning. This follows the withdrawal of Professor Marion Kickett from the conference program due to unforeseen personal circumstances. In his keynote address Dennis will highlight the focus on engagement embedded within the I N S P I RE theme of the conference. In keeping with the Speech Pathology 2030 project Dennis brings knowledge and perspectives from beyond speech pathology to inform and guide our work. Most of the speech pathology workforce is Non-Indigenous. Dennis’ keynote address will address the critical question of how we effectively engage with Indigenous health issues, cultures, clients and communities to improve health and education outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. As speech pathologists we have a significant role to play. Dennis will challenge and inspire us in this important endeavour.

Supervising and maintaining staff in a small business is increasingly complex. The job market and employment options for speech pathologists are also challenging. This workshop will consist of a panel of speech pathologists across all sectors with a wide range of experience and practice contexts and professionals with experience working in the small business sector. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss and share: • Current employment contexts and expectations • Having speech pathologists with a range of experience in your practice: benefits and barriers from all perspectives • How to make the best use of all levels of experience • Current best practice scenarios • Characteristics of a good employer/employee • How sole providers can grow their business and employ another speech pathologist • Systems and processes - are these in place? • Aspirations for employment practices in the future. These topics will be examined in the context of the changing work environment, funding streams, client expectations, productivity and responsibilities of business owners. Discussions will cover the spectrum of the private practice workforce including practice owners of both small and large businesses together with sole providers and employees. There will be presentations, opportunities to raise topics for discussion, breakout sessions, brainstorming solutions and development of a tailored action plan. Attendance number: 100 • Identification of key issues • How to overcome difficulties: ◦◦ What support mechanisms work? ◦◦ What support do employees and employers need?

2.00pm – 5.30pm (including Afternoon tea) SM2 – Assessing narrative abilities in school-age children: Comparing norm referenced and progress monitoring measures Dr Ron Gillam, PhD In this masterclass Ron will use the Test of Narrative Language – 2nd Edition as an example of test construction, test reliability, and test validity in the context of assessing narrative comprehension and production. Participants will examine the use of test scores for diagnostic decision-making, and the use of item analyses techniques for informing an understanding of children’s narrative deficiencies. Participants will then discuss an approach to progress monitoring called Monitoring Indicators of Scholarly Language (MISL). Ron will explain how the MISL was constructed and will review its reliability and validity as a progress monitoring tool. Then, participants will practice scoring the MISL and will discuss how MISL scores can be used to inform intervention decisions and practices. Learning objectives for the masterclass: After this session, participants will be able to: • Summarise key issues in measuring narrative comprehension and narrative production instruments • Explain how the concepts of test reliability and test validity differ for norm-referenced and progress monitoring instruments • Describe how best to use the scores from a norm-referenced test of narration • Score narratives using the MISL and make clinical decisions based on those scores.

Prerequisites for registrants / assumed knowledge or skill base when attending the masterclass: To profit from this masterclass, participants should have a general understanding of: • Psychometrics • Story grammar (macrostructure) propositions • Syntactic development (especially complex syntactic structures). Disclosure: Ron Gillam is a co-author of The Test of Narrative Language – 2nd Edition (TNL-2), which will be described in this presentation. Attendence number = 100

MKP – Keynote Presentation 'Big Sister’ Wisdom: How might Non-Indigenous speech pathologists really engage, effectively, with Indigenous Australia?

Professor Dennis McDermott Professor McDermott is the Director of Flinders University’s two Poche Centres for Indigenous Health and Well-Being (Adelaide and Northern Territory). Dennis is a psychologist, academic and poet. A Koori man, his mother’s family are from Gadigal land (inner Sydney) with connections to encompass early childhood, social determinants of Indigenous health, racism, incarceration, policy, equity, Indigenous social, spiritual and emotional well-being, workforce development, Indigenous health pedagogy, and the nexus of culture and context in service delivery. In 2014 he was awarded a National Senior Teaching Fellowship by the Australian Government’s Office for Learning and Teaching (OLT). Gamilaroi country (north-west NSW). Dennis’ teaching and research interests

Non-Indigenous speech pathologists deliver the majority of interventions and programmes to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. Their work is pivotal to improving a range of Indigenous health outcomes, which for many indicators are the worst of any population group in the nation. Yet many, thoroughly competent, professionals report uncertainty regarding how to engage with Indigenous health issues, cultures, clients and communities. My big sister has a simple phrase that captures much: Meet people in their own reality. Which means ‘what’, exactly, for speech pathology? And is it, really as simple as that? This session will address these questions in the light of Speech Pathology Australia’s comprehensive Speech Pathology 2030 report. We’ll particularly focus on the implications for: communication; realised access for all; clients and communities driving service delivery; and quality service. Finally, we’ll investigate: • What would ‘really-effective’ practice look like? • What gets in the road? and, • • Which strategies aid not only individual, but also organisational engagement and effectiveness?

As the speech pathology profession matures and evolves, there will continue to be an ongoing need for practice change. Practice change has many drivers: consumer need; an advancing evidence base; clinical innovations; financial efficiency; local service needs; population change; government policy etc. If we are to continue to have a profession with a strong identity and the capacity to make meaningful contributions to the modern education and healthcare landscape, then practice change is a necessity. To achieve practice change we need to step away from long-held traditional paradigms and embrace new practice and service delivery models. We need a workforce ready, committed and willing to accept change, and we must have the evidence base to support these new roles and responsibilities. In the past decade within the public health service in Queensland, there have been multiple top down policy changes driving new models of care and expanded scope of practice across allied health. Within this landscape, there has been greater capacity to examine new ways the speech pathology profession both works and engages within health services. Making change to ensure clinicians are working to full scope, considering extended scope models when appropriate, and adopting delegation models, is being actively encouraged to help achieve the common health objective of a client-centred, cost effective health service. In this Elizabeth Usher Memorial Award lecture, the benefits, issues and impacts of expanded scope of practice initiatives and new models of care will be discussed. Calling on the insights obtained from implementing multiple practice change initiatives within health in Queensland, this lecture will highlight important individual, service and training considerations needed to support the ongoing growth of our profession.

WKP – Keynote Presentation Cognitive predictors of language comprehension in school-age children: New findings and their clinical implications Approximately 70% of children identified with developmental language disorders (DLD) in kindergarten will present cognitive, linguistic, social and academic problems as teenagers, with comprehension deficits being particularly intractable. Because much of the written discourse encountered by adolescents contains complex sentence structures, language comprehension skills are critical to social, academic and economic success. Critically, language comprehension ability appears to be a significant predictor of educational attainment and occupational SES during adulthood, in particular when combined with teacher ratings of behaviour, family SES and reading ability. Together, these factors place adolescents with DLD at significant risk for poor outcomes. Dr Gillam will summarise a large scale study of 385 children between the ages of seven and twelve, 122 who had developmental language disorders and 254 who were typically developing. The children received an extensive battery of cognitive processing measures that assessed fluid intelligence, attention, short-term memory, complex working memory, lexical retrieval, and speed of processing functions. They also received a battery of measures that assessed lexical-semantic, morpho-syntactic, and narrative language abilities. Structural equation modelling was used to test moderators and mediators of language comprehension. Dr Gillam will describe the GEM (Gillam-Evans-Montgomery) model of cognition and comprehension and will talk about what it means for language assessment and language intervention. Specifically, he will discuss the implications of a new understanding of the factors that moderate and mediate language comprehension for conducting informative language assessments and for selecting interventions that are likely to yield the most functional outcomes for school-age children.

Dr Ron Gillam Ron Gillam, PhD holds the Raymond and Eloise Lillywhite Endowed Chair in Speech-Language Pathology at Utah State University, where he is also the Co-Director of the Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in Neuroscience. His research, which has been funded by the National Institutes of Health and the US Department of Education, primarily concerns information processing, language assessment, and language intervention with school-age children with language disorders. Dr Gillam has published three books, three norm-referenced tests, and more than 130 articles and book chapters. He has been an associate editor of the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, the American Journal of Speech- Language Pathology, and Topics in Language Disorders. Dr Gillam has received numerous teaching and research awards including Honors of the American Speech, Language, and Hearing Association (ASHA), Distinguished Alumnus at Indiana University, ASHA Fellow, the Haydn Williams Fellow at Curtin University in Western Australia, the Dads Association Centennial Teaching Fellowship at the University of Texas at Austin, the Editor’s Award for the article of highest merit in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research (twice) and the Robins Award for the outstanding researcher at Utah State University.

W1A – Keynote Seminar Presentation: Supporting knowledge in language and literacy: A narrative-based language intervention program (S) This seminar will be co-presented by Dr Ron Gillam and Dr Sandra (Sandi) Gillam

This seminar will describe a narrative instruction program called Supporting Knowledge in Language and Literacy (SKILL) that is based on the Kintsch model of language comprehension. The fully-manualised SKILL

• Graphic organisers that represent critical story elements • Explicit instruction that highlights the use of literate language in the context of complex narrative discourse (e.g., Tier Two vocabulary, adverbial clauses) • Discussions about comprehension and memory strategies • Practice answering questions about, retelling, and creating stories. In a series of single-subject, multiple-baseline studies and in a small-scale RCT, these instructional strategies have proven to be beneficial to children with developmental language disorders, children learning English as a second language, and children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. We are currently conducting a three-year, multi-site RCT to test the outcomes of the intervention and potential generalisation to reading comprehension and writing. Learning objectives for the seminar: At the culmination of this session, participants will be able to: • Describe the important characteristics of the Kintsch model of language comprehension • Summarise the three phases of the SKILL narrative language intervention program • Explain the evidence demonstrating the feasibility of the program for various types of children with language disorders • Discuss the key elements of the program and why it has a positive effect on narrative comprehension and production. Prerequisites for registrants / assumed knowledge or skill base when attending the seminar: Participants should have basic knowledge of narrative macro structure (story grammar propositions), complex sentence structure, and language intervention principles. Disclosure: Sandi and Ron Gillam are co-authors of Supporting Knowledge of Language and Literacy (SKILL), which will be described in this presentation.

Dr Sandra (Sandi) Gillam - co-presenter Sandra Laing Gillam is a Professor in the

narrative instruction program consists of three phases: Phase I: Teaching Story Structure and Causal language;

Department of Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education at Utah State University and the outgoing Vice President for Speech Language Pathology Practice for the American Speech Language and Hearing Association (ASHA). Since coming to Utah State, she has received numerous awards and honors including being named ASHA Fellow, Outstanding Alumnus, Undergraduate Research Mentor of the Year, and Outstanding Researcher of the Year. She earned her BS and MS degrees in Speech Language Pathology and Audiology at Auburn University and began her career as a speech language pathologist in public schools. Dr Gillam obtained her Doctorate at The University of Memphis and began her academic career at The University of Alabama. She currently teaches courses in language development and disorders, assessment and intervention for language disorders, and professional issues. Her research interests include language and literacy impairments, diverse populations and comprehension. Dr Gillam has received funding for her research from the Institute of Education Sciences.

Phase II: Teaching Strategies for Creating a Situation Model; and Phase III: Teaching Strategies for Integration into Long TermMemory (Gillam, Gillam & Laing, 2014). Phase I procedures were designed to assist the student in organising and constructing a “textbase” of information contained in propositions or meaning units across a story. Phase II activities are designed to teach linguistic structures, concepts, and vocabulary in more elaborate, complex stories. The procedures in Phase II were designed to stabilise the student’s textbase representation and to foster the creation of a situation model for later integration into long-term memory. Phase III contains twelve lessons that give students multiple opportunities to retell, create, tell, edit and revise their own spontaneously generated stories with and without icon and graphic organiser support. The major focus of Phase III is to provide students with opportunities to develop independence in their understanding and use of narrative structure and oral language relevant to coherent stories (connecting terms, causal language, mental state terms). Additionally, lessons were designed to foster meta-cognitive skills necessary for students to judge the adequacy of their own stories. Original wordless books are used to teach text structure and oral language supporting comprehension and production of stories. After these introductory sessions for each lesson are completed, children’s trade books are used to facilitate generalisation of newly learned skills. Lessons progress in each phase, resulting in the use of literature-based activities that are closely aligned to the rigorous texts used in general education classrooms. Key components of the SKILL program described in this presentation include: • The use of story structure models

An inspirational leader creates a work place culture synonymous with innovation and excellence. A culture of adaptability, improvement and innovation is enabled through strong leadership and through creating the conditions for change.  Inspirational leadership cultivates an environment where all employees contribute to their maximum potential in support of the mission of the organisation. The outcomes of effective clinical leadership at all levels of care include improved delivery and quality of health care services and better staff engagement. Some speech pathologists might be considered ‘born leaders’. However, exemplary leadership can be developed through mastering behaviours including modelling, inspiring, challenging, enabling and encouraging the heart. All speech pathologists can benefit from developing leadership skills. This practical workshop is designed for clinicians from all practice settings who are interested in: • Understanding the factors and values that promote effective ethical clinical leadership • Exploring approaches to staff engagement through shared purpose and meaning • Gaining insights into fostering the conditions for growth • Identifying ways to generate positive change within your own team • Becoming a more confident, inspirational leader • Considering how the speech pathology profession can adopt inspirational leadership strategies to achieve our 2030 future vision. Using an Action Learning Set approach, participants will have the opportunity to apply leadership theory in practice and will be provided with tools, tips and resources to assist their leadership journey. Introduction/rationale: It is well established that effective and ethical clinical leadership improves the quality of healthcare service provision and promotes optimal clinical outcomes. Leaders can be located within all levels of an organisation and SESSION FULL

are not limited to those in management positions.  Leadership capacity and capability is needed for successful clinical service provision and many speech pathologists have leadership responsibilities. Clinicians may feel ill-equipped for leadership opportunities, or may aspire to be inspirational leaders.  Exemplary leadership behaviours can be developed. Objectives: To enable participants to consider their own leadership journey and explore how they can grow and sustain improvement and innovation through building will, engagement and commitment of their teams, underpinned by the principles of effective leadership. The workshop will introduce participants to the theoretical underpinnings of transformational leadership. Small group discussion with an action learning approach will assist participants to apply leadership theory to practice, and develop a leadership development vision for SPA in line with the 2030 vision. Results or practice implications : Using an Action Learning Set approach, participants will have the opportunity to apply leadership theory in practice and will be provided with tools, tips and resources to assist their leadership journey. Learning experiences will facilitate participants’ leadership in caseload management, team interactions and service planning and delivery. Learning outcomes: To provide experienced, new and emerging speech pathology leaders from all practice settings with an introduction to leadership theory coupled with a set of practical tools that can be applied across settings.  To build leadership confidence and to introduce tools to enable longer term leadership growth and development. Paticipants will acquire knowledge of effective leadership theories and insights into inspirational and ethical leadership through reflecting on their own leadership strengths, approaches and opportunities and formulation of leadership goals. Conclusion: This practical workshop will enable clinical leaders to explore the factors that promote effective ethical clinical leadership and identify actions they can take to achieve positive change in their own work contexts.

practice has informed Australian studies and international research, to provide an increasing evidence base for the benefits of LAMP. This workshop will introduce participants to the five key components of the LAMP approach: readiness to learn, joint engagement, consistent and unique motor patterns, auditory signals and natural consequences. The presenters will describe how the overall goal of language development is targeted through these components, with practical strategies for implementation. Current research and case studies will be presented, and participants will be introduced to the growing body of evidence for this therapy approach. Participants should have an interest in AAC, but prior knowledge of LAMP or other methods is not required. As more SLPs broaden their scope of practice to support people who use AAC, there is increasing need for access to information about evidence-based interventions. By staying informed of the current approaches to AAC, SLPs are supported to choose the most appropriate methods and tools for their clients. This workshop aims to introduce SLPs to one such method. Introduction/rationale: This 1.5 hour workshop will provide participants with an overview of the LAMP approach to AAC. Participants will learn about the five key components of the approach, review the increasing evidence base for LAMP, and discuss strategies for implementation. Objectives: The presenters will introduce participants to the key components of the LAMP approach. Strategies for implementation will be presented through discussions, videos and hands-on activities. An overview of the research and a selection of case studies will be presented. Results or practice implications: Many SLPs are extending their scope of practice to work with people who communicate using AAC. An awareness of various implementation approaches is critical to ensuring selection of the most appropriate intervention/s for the individual. This workshop will support SLPs to explore whether the LAMP approach may be suitable for their clients. Learning outcomes: • Identify the five key components of the LAMP approach • Understand the role of readiness to learn and joint engagement in language intervention

M2A What is LAMP TM ? An introduction

to Language Acquisition through Motor Planning, an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) approach (W)

Merryn Gibson, Leanna Fox Liberator Pty Ltd, Sydney, NSW, Australia

Language Acquisition through Motor Planning (LAMP) is an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) approach based on neurological and motor learning principles. It is designed to give individuals with little or no speech a method to express themselves independently and spontaneously using a speech-generating device. The approach was developed out of the clinical practices of John Halloran (MS, CCC-SLP), Cindy Halloran (OTR/L) and Mia Emerson (MS, CCC-SLP). Their clinical
