Southeastern to host Communication Sciences and Disorders Conference

Southeastern Louisiana University will present the 2026 Campbell Conference on campus March 6. Scheduled from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., in the Student Union Ballroom, the conference is open to students and professionals in the fields of speech-language pathology and audiology.

Within the Department of Health and Human Sciences, the Communication Sciences and Disorders Program annually hosts the Campbell Conference each spring, said Campbell Conference Chair Lisa Pardue.

“Practicing speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and pre-professional student clinicians from across the state have the opportunity to attend a day-long educational conference designed to enhance their knowledge and professional practice. Licensed professionals can earn up to six continuing education contact hours,” Pardue explained. “This year’s topics showcase powerhouse speakers who bring extensive knowledge and experience in the field of autism. Be sure to register today.”

Campbell Conference speakers include Lillian Stiegler presenting “Supporting Communication Across the Autism Spectrum,” and Katie Prescott and Justin Sims presenting “AAC Implementation and Methodology with Children.”
