This pilot qualitative study examined the needs of bilingual speech language pathologists (SLPs) in a large urban district. We will discuss how the needs of the bilingual SLPs were identified and supported using a professional learning community (PLC) format.

Learning Objectives:

Discuss The importance of training bilingual SLPs in order to provide appraise services to students
Prioritize The importance of professional development training
Identify How to self reflect on ones' own areas of need and how to seek support
