About this Event
Join Us in Flagstaff this Summer!
Join us for our June CSD Conference at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff! This event brings together students and professionals for a day of learning, connection, and fresh perspectives.
We are excited to feature two speakers this year:
- Elizabeth Freund M.S., CCC-SLP, who will present on Neurodiversity in Action: Cultivating a Neuro-Affirming Clinical Practice
- Laurel Bruce Ph, D., CCC-SLP, who will present on Conceptualizing the International Phonetic Alphabet as a therapy tool
Don't miss out on our silent auction! Come prepared to bid on a variety of items, including:
- Gift cards and goodies from local shops
- Beautiful watercolor paintings created by one of our very own talented students
- Curated baskets
- And more!
All proceeds of the silent auction will benefit clinic scholarships, which helps our department provide no- to low-cost speech therapy services in our clinic.
