Welcome to SHAV’s 2010 Annual Conference held once again at the beautiful Renaissance Portsmouth Hotel in Portsmouth, Virginia! The Conference theme this year is Thinking Outside the Box – How to Do More With Less which captivates the innovations and changes in the fields of communication disorders. Kathy Dickinson, VP of Continuing Education, and Ken Cox, VP of Audiology, have put together a Conference packed with an enlightening and diverse set of presenters. The pre-conference seminar, Telepractice in Speech-Language & Audiology: Optimizing Service Delivery in the New Millennium presented by Jeanne M. Juenger, represents this year’s theme. Invited Conference speakers include, Barbara Hodson, Enhancing Phonological and Metaphonological Skills of Children With Highly Unintelligible Speech: An Update; J. Scott Yaruss, Practical Treatment Strategies for Preschoolers Who Stutter; and Timothy P. Kowalski, Does Napoleon Dynamite Have Asperger’s Syndrome? The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) continues their support with this year’s featured speaker Gail J. Richard, presenting an Update on Autism Spectrum Disorders.
The Audiology track is co-sponsored this year by the Audiology Association of Virginia (AAV.) Featured speakers include, Frank Musiek, Selected Topics in CAPD: A View from Neuroaudiology; Martin Lenhardt, CAPD and Auditory Intelligence in Children, and John Casali, Circa 2009: Advancements in Hearing Protection Technologies for Enhanced Situational Awareness, Adjustable Attenuation, and Other Usability Enhancements.
SHAV continues to support the Communication Disorders Foundation (CDF) with the silent auction on Thursday night, with Pat Dewey chairing this project. Keep in mind, the money raised during the auction helps support scholarships for full-time students in the Communication Disorders studies in Virginia universities.
While you are visiting, enjoy Old Towne Portsmouth. Just steps away from the hotel there are fine restaurants and cafés. There are also some of Virginia’s finest antique stores. Take a short ferry ride across the Elizabeth River to Norfolk, and enjoy the Waterside, The Festival Market and many restaurants and specialty shops. For the history buffs, the Hampton Roads area is full of historical landmarks. In Portsmouth, visit Fort Nelson, Trinity Church (built in 1762), Monumental Methodist Church (Founded 1772) and Watts House (Built by Colonel Dempsey Watts in 1799). Within the Hampton Roads Region of Virginia are Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement and Colonial Williamsburg.
Many thanks to Kathy Dickinson and Ken Cox for their hard work and dedication. We look forward to seeing everyone in March!

Telepractice in Speech-Language & Audiology: Optimizing Service Delivery in the New Millennium
Presented by Jeanne M. Juenger, M.S., CCC-SLP
Wednesday, March 24, 2010
8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Telepractice in speech-language and audiology, the delivery of professional services at a distance via telecommunications technology, is rapidly gaining interest nationwide as a service delivery model offering the potential to optimize limited professional time and financial resources while enhancing clients’ access to quality services. Telepractice in speech-language and audiology is supported by ASHA when judiciously implemented in accordance with the Code of Ethics, state and federal law and practice standards.
More than just a “web cam here and a web cam there,” a viable tele-speech or tele-audiology program requires the active commitment of and ongoing contributions from a diverse group of stakeholders vested in student/client progress toward improved communication skills for home, school and the community.
Jeanne Juenger, owner of On Point Speech & Language Services, La Crosse, Wisconsin, is a Telepractice Speech-Language Pathologist and Virtual Service Consultant. Jeanne served as 2007 President of the Minnesota Speech-Language-Hearing Association and recently completed a three-year term of service on ASHA’s Continuing Education Board. She is a member of WSHA and the American Telemedicine Association’s TeleRehabilitation and Human Factors special interest groups.
