COURSE MARCH 28-30 AND APRIL 25-27

HATTIESBURG -- The University of Southern Mississippi’s DuBard School for Language Disorders will present the Association Method Course March 28-30 and April 25-27, a basic six-day course for teachers of K-12, learning disabilities and special education, and for speech-language pathologists.

The Association Method is a phonetic, multi-sensory teaching strategy utilized by the DuBard School since 1962, which benefits children with severe language disorders and/or hearing impairments, learning disabilities, dyslexia, and communication disorders. It is used with nondisabled children to establish a code-breaking system for reading skills.

Dr. Maureen Martin, director of the DuBard School, will be the instructor of record. She will be assisted by the school’s staff in the presentation of the course. The Southern Miss Office of Noncredit Programs and Conferences is coordinating the course.
