Texas Speech-Language- 1 Houston, Texas Hearing Association Message from the Vice President February 23 – 25, 2017

Welcome to the 61st Annual Convention and Exhibition for the Texas Speech-Language-Hearing Association (TSHA). Along with TSHA President, Judy Rich, the Executive Board, and the 2017 Convention Committees, I am excited to be back in Austin for convention!

We are thrilled to have Steve Silberman as our Keynote Speaker . Mr . Silberman is an award-winning science writer whose articles have appeared in Wired, The New York Times, the New Yorker, the MIT Technology Review, and many other publications . He is the author of Neuro Tribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity (Avery 2015), a groundbreaking book that upends conventional thinking about autism and suggests a broader model for acceptance, understanding, and full participation in society for people who think differently . A widely-praised bestseller in the US and UK, this book has won numerous awards and was chosen as one of the Best Books of 2015 by The New York Times . Mr . Silberman gave the keynote address at the United Nations for World Autism Awareness Day and has presented about the history of autism at numerous major institutions, including Yale, MIT, Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Imperial College London .

Immediately following the keynote session, TSHA President Judy Rich and Exhibit Co-Chairs, Karen Hennington and Cindy Leal will cut the ribbon for the Exhibit Hall Grand Opening at 11:30 a .m . There will be a drawing for a FREE 2018 TSHA Membership during our Exhibit Hall Grand Opening on Thursday and a drawing for a FREE 2018 Convention Registration just before the Exhibit Hall closes on Saturday . You must be present for drawings in order to win, so don’t miss it!

Following the Exhibit Hall opening, we are excited to host Capitol Visit Day beginning at 12:00 p .m . There will be a brief meeting in room 9ABC prior to leaving for the Capitol, where you will have an opportunity to meet and speak with your representatives and senators about the legislative issues impacting our field . See page 9 for more information on Capitol Visit Day .

The Programming Committee, co-chaired by Angela Kennedy and Brittany Hall, has worked many hours putting together quality programming with 196 presentations planned . There are a variety of traditional programming sessions, five ethics courses, 42 101-level courses, six short courses, five focused topics, and a variety of poster sessions . We are also honored to welcome our major speakers: Sean Sweeney, Jennifer Brush, and Kenn Apel .

It is best that you arrive at your sessions at least 10-15 minutes early, if possible, in order to guarantee a seat . With over 5,000 attendees and limited room capacity beyond our control, some sessions might close . Due to fire code regulations, the Programming Committee has been instructed to post signs reading “Session Closed” when a room has met capacity . Please help us stay within compliance by not entering sessions that have already been marked as “Closed” .

The Local Arrangements Committee, co-chaired by Lesa Coker and Lisa Berry, has helped organize a philanthropy project benefitting CASA, a local non-profit organization created to assist Texas children (birth–21) with developmental and medical needs . TSHA members will have an opportunity to partner with CASA by making donations to help support local children in need . Stop by the Hospitality Booth to learn more about how, together, we can make a difference in the life of a child!

Congratulations to our 2017 Convention Scholarship Winners! TSHA convention scholarships are awarded to assist in the professional development of TSHA members by facilitating attendance at the annual convention . This year, one $1000 scholarship and two $500 scholarships were awarded to help cover incurred expenses for travel, lodging, registration fees, and/or meals while attending the TSHA 2017 Convention in Austin . The Convention Scholarship Committee, 2 co-chaired by Keri Gonzalez and Debra Bankston, awarded the 2017 Convention Scholarships to Janae Hauser ($1,000), Monica Haynie ($500), and Alejandra Sweeney ($500)!

I would also like to welcome Erinn Hengst to the Convention Committee, as she will begin her role as VP Elect for Educational and Scientific Affairs this year .

Additionally, I would like to acknowledge members of the TSHA Team from our management firm, SmithBucklin . To Cameron, Sarah, Annie, Bill, Kendra, Adrienne, Stephanie, Jasmine, Tonya, Elizabeth, Lucretia, Caroline and many others who spend countless hours behind the scenes, this convention would not be possible without all of your help and support! Thank you, everyone, for making the TSHA Convention one of the very best state conventions in the nation .

And finally, I would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of the many members who give their time to volunteer at Convention . These members have dedicated many hours to ensure a successful convention each year . None of this would be possible without our wonderful volunteers!

Mission: CASA of Travis County exists to promote and protect the best interest of children who have been abused or neglected, by training volunteers to advocate for them in courts, in schools and in our community to help them find safe, permanent and loving homes .

Donate: There are many ways that CASA will take donations – items and gift cards . Please see below for information from the organization that may help you better understand what they are in need of .

“Many of our children have experienced trauma and benefit from fidgets and weighted blankets so this would be an amazing gift if that is at all possible. Ideally the supplies would be purchased and the blankets sewn together and then labeled by weight so that we could get them to the appropriately sized child.

One of the other items we are always looking for are fidgets (silly putty, moldy balls, etc.). We have all been trained in TBRI and believe whole heartedly in the need to provide these things to the children who need them in order to assist with their ability to self-regulate.

Frequently there is a need for HEB or Wal-Mart gift cards that we provide to relative caregivers who have been charged with providing homes to children in their extended family. Many times these families do not get financial support and even buying food becomes a struggle.”
