Co Author ‘The Late Talker’
“THE DANGER OF DELAY: Early Identification and Referral of
Young Children with Speech and Language Disorders”
Assuming that all Late Talkers are “Little Einsteins” who
will talk when the are ready, is not always the best advice
to give parents who may be concerned about their child’s
speech and language development. This workshop will review
various speech and language disorders of early childhood
that do not necessarily resolve over time. “The Danger of
Delay” will spell out the potential hazards of a late
diagnosis and deferred treatment, including a missed
opportunity to take advantage of Early Intervention
Services.
PM - Lisa Geng, Founder and President of CHERAB, Co Founder
of Speechville.com, Co Author of The Late Talker and
parent, and Jeanne Buesser, President of the Apraxia
Network of Bergen County and parent ---
This session will focus on the important role of parents in
the diagnosis and treatment of apraxia, and associated
diagnosis. Key parental strategies for home, school and
life will be offered. This is appropriate for parents,
regular and special education teachers, and child study
teams.
Book Signing: Dr. Marilyn Agin and Mrs. Lisa Geng will be
available for signing their recently published book, “The
Late Talker: What To Do If Your Child Isn’t Talking Yet.”

General Sessions
AM:
Miriam Cherkes -Julkowski, Ph.D. “From Reading Disability
to Reading Fluency”
Most of the children identified as having a learning
disability have phonologically-based reading problems. Most
can capture syllable- level sounds with little difficulty
but meet defeat when asked to segment syllable into their
component phonemes. At this stage, children risk being
missed for identification and support if these areas are
not intricately and individualistically diagnosed. This
presentation will use real, hands-on case examples to
demonstrate how to diagnose the individual nature of
reading disabilities and how these findings support LD
identification as well as IEP development
Session Chair: Phyllis Fantuozzo
Ron Hume, Director of Affiliate Services, LDA of America---
“DELINQUENCY OR DISABILITY?: Learning Disabilities and the
Juvenile Justice System”
The incidence rate for youth with learning disabilities
and/or Attention Deficit Disorder who enter the juvenile
justice system is disproportionately high. Some studies
have identified up to 50% of delinquents as having learning
or attention disabilities. These sessions will explore the
etiology of these disabilities and offer information that
will help explain this alarming and often confusing
problem. The social and behavioral characteristics of this
population will be explored and participants will gain a
better understanding of the dynamics that lead to these
difficulties.
Session Chair: Terry Cavanaugh
Fern Goldstein, Special Education Teacher, Community Middle
School, Teaneck, NJ “The G-Whiz Solutions to Teaching
Challenges”
What happens when classroom challenges defy available
solutions? They inspire creative teachers and drive new
solutions, of course. Mrs. Goldstein evolved the “G-Whiz”
strategies after being troubled by many of the challenges
her students face. These classroom –tested strategies will
be presented: “Looking Glass Spelling”,
“S-Whiz…. I finished My Homework”, “G-Whiz… I Finished My
Assignment” and "Bet Your Bottom Dollar” (a direction-
following game for auditory and visual processing, and
short-term memory.)
Session Chair: Rita Rowan
AM AND PM
Bonnie Kreielsheimer, Special Education Teacher, Community
Middle School “ Unlocking Learning Power” –
How many of our students have asked the questions: “What’s
wrong with me? “Why can’t I do the work?” “Am I
stupid”, “will I be able to go to college”. Mrs.
Kreielsheimer will address the self-esteem side of learning
disabilities. Having studied with Dr. Mel Levine, she put
together a formal curriculum on learning about leaning
disabilities, emphasizing the importance of “demystifying”
learning differences so that students can get a realistic
assessment of both their strengths and their
challenges. “Unlocking Learning Power” is a model for
counselors, administrators and teachers.
