Workshops
Clinicians are welcome to attend workshops offered by Irini. Where much professional development focuses on theoretical knowledge and the “whys” of therapy, Irini designs workshops to focus on the “how”.
Practices, organizations, or clinician groups interested in workshops conducted by Irini can request customized workshops or training in addition to the offerings below. Please contact Irini for additional information about each course or to request a customized workshop.
Why Words “Break Rules”
English is thought to be a language riddled with confusing and inconsistent spelling patterns. Words always seem to be “breaking rules”. In this course, we will examine what’s really at play and how to share this knowledge with your students and clients, whether or not they struggle with English spelling. Participants will walk away with a deeper understanding of the English orthographic system, and know how to convey this information in a way that resonates with their students and clients.
NOTE: This is not a full course on spelling intervention and only focuses on “rule-breaking” words.
The Anatomy of Structured Literacy Intervention
In this course, participants will learn how to
organize and set up a structured therapy session for their clients who struggle with reading and spelling
progress their students to the next concept, ensuring they have filled all foundational gaps
tie in home programming with clinical goals
support extra slow learners
This is an excellent course for clinicians who are interested in providing literacy intervention to struggling readers, but are looking for some guidance to get started. We will discuss all aspects of literacy intervention and what therapy techniques can be employed to support their struggles in various areas of reading acquisition. Clinicians will walk away with the knowledge of how to conduct a therapy session for reading intervention, spelling intervention, or a combination of both.
