The School SLP Conference at Vanderbilt, sponsored by the Child Language and Literacy Lab, is held annually, typically in early August. We set the date for the conference in November and registration opens in April. The conference is supported by our US Department of Education Training Grants and low-cost registration fees. Participants can earn up to 10 professional development hours (ASHA CE or attendance certificate).

The conference began in 2013 to meet the unique professional development needs of school speech-language pathologists. The conference can be attended in person or remotely. The conference is held on the Peabody Campus at Vanderbilt University. Remote attendance can be synchronous or asynchronous. We announce the conference on this website and via our listserv. If you would like to be added to our mailing list, please email us at ChildLanguageAndLiteracyLab@gmail.com and type "add to mailing list" in the subject field.

New this year! We will have a one-day DHH track on Friday, August 1, 2024. This track is designed for anyone working with DHH children in schools ~ gen ed teachers, teachers of the deaf and other special education teachers, speech-language pathologists, and educational audiologists. SLPs who register for the full conference will have access to these sessions. Invite your colleagues to join (in person or remote) for this special track on Friday. We plan to continue this track through at least 2027 as part of our training grants.  

GRADUATE and UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS from any program can attend the conference for FREE. When registering, indicate that you are a full-time student.
