Hi wonderful SLP's! The Narrative Focus Group spent the majority of last year developing a great way to gather, analyze, and report a narrative sample for a student when you think narrative information might be a helpful evaluation piece. We presented about it at the GROW conference this summer, and thought that some of you may be interested in attending a PD session to hear that information. If so, here you go! For those who attended this summer or attend on the 18th, we are hoping to gather feedback from you later this year after you've had a chance to use the materials. This is totally voluntary, but we would love to see you there! Sign up in TNL to let us know you're coming! Thanks! -Lori

Step 3: Review ISP to be drafted per following guidelines NOTE: For students who reside in RISD: IEP and ISP should be drafted annually by the end of Se...
