The Speech-Language Pathology Department presents the Fifth Annual Thielman Speaker Series: Intervention Considerations in Autism Spectrum Disorders: Evidence-Based Practices with Lynne Hewitt, PhD, CCC-SLP Lynne Hewitt, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Disorders at Bowling Green State University, where she has served as graduate coordinator and department chair. She writes and researches on the topics of autism, intervention for developmental language disorders, pragmatics, and assessment. Dr. Hewitt frequently presents at national and international meetings on topics related to her research and clinical interests.
Dr. Hewitt will focus her presentation on what a speech-language pathologist needs to know to select appropriate, evidenced-based treatments for children with autism spectrum disorder from early childhood through adolescence because fads in treatment for these children exist. How to judge the efficacy and effectiveness of various programs and how to deliver services to satisfy the particular needs of the child and family are principal objectives of this conference. Case examples will be used to illustrate main points.
This annual speaker series honors Paul Thielman who was a great friend of the Buffalo State College Department of Speech-Language Pathology for many years and a member of the Buffalo Chapter of SERTOMA as an active fundraiser for the group. Upon his untimely death a foundation was established in his name. Of the many organizations making requests, the family chose to fund two major projects, one being the allocation of money to support this speaker series.
