SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS
Message from
the Vice President
for Educational and Scientific Affairs
Welcome! On behalf of the Texas Speech-Language-Hearing Association’s President, Melanie McDonald,
the Executive Board, and the 2015 Convention Committees, I welcome you to the 59th Annual Convention
and Exhibition: “Reaching New Heights.”
We will start things off with a GRAND OPENING of our exhibit hall at 9:00 am
on Thursday, March 19th. TSHA’s President, Melanie McDonald, and the exhibit
co-chairs, Leigh Ann Reel and Tara Blanco, will cut the ribbon to get you started
in the Convention Exhibit Hall. Coffee and pastries will be served and we have
exciting prizes to give away including a free 2016 Convention Registration and a
free TSHA Membership! Bring the ticket attached to your badge to register for
the drawing. There also will be drawings for prizes throughout the convention.
Please check the agenda to find the times for these drawings.
We are very excited that our keynote speaker, Phuong Lien Palafox, is a
TSHA member whose speaking topic will be “Get Back to Great: A Journey of
Meaningful Work, Valued People and Fabulous YOU!” Phuong Lien Palafox is
a bilingual speech-language pathologist at Bilinguistics. We are excited to hear
about her experiences of growing up as an English Language Learner, becoming
a speech-language pathologist, and changing the lives of her patients, daily. She is a dynamic speaker who has
a huge heart for this profession. You will walk away inspired and ready to reach new heights with your clients!
The program committee, co-chaired by Erinn Hengst and Brittany Hall, has worked many hours putting
together quality programming with over 180 presentations planned. There are a variety of traditional
programming sessions, 6 ethics courses, many 101 course levels, 6 short courses, poster sessions, and 8
focused topics. We also are honored to welcome our major speakers: Dr. Cathy Binger, Dr. Charles Haynes,
and Dr. Mary R.T. Kennedy. There are multiple opportunities to help you reach new heights and earn
continuing education credit.
I would like to remind you to arrive at all your sessions 10-15 minutes early if possible to guarantee a seat.
With over 5,000 attendees and limited room capacity beyond our control, some sessions might close. Due
to fire code regulations, the program committee has been instructed to post signs reading “Session Closed”
when the room has met capacity.
The Local Arrangement Committee, co-chaired by Kristina Kelley and Aracely Perez, has helped organize a
school supply drive to benefit the Boys and Girls Club of San Antonio. Please contribute by bringing new
and lightly used school supplies to benefit San Antonio youth. Drop off bins will be located throughout the
exhibit hall on Thursday and Friday.
Congratulations to our 2015 Convention Scholarship Winners!
Leesa Anthony, Rosario Brusniak and Angela Kerrigan were awarded $1,000 scholarships to help cover
expenses incurred from travel, lodging, registration fees, and/or meals to attend the TSHA 2015 Convention.
TSHA convention scholarships are awarded to assist in the professional development of TSHA members by
facilitating attendance at the annual convention.

March 19-21, 2015
Spirit Day co-chairs, Becca Kelley and Sydney Perricone, would like to invite alumni of Texas Universities and
current students to attend the fun activities planned for Friday afternoon. The University Meet and Greet will

new and fun items to purchase this year!
The continuing education team including Karen King, Loretta Lee, Margaret McAughan and Tori Gustafson
will be at the Continuing Education Booth located at the entrance of the Exhibit Hall to answer any of your
questions related to CEs. There also will be information with your registration packet.
Need help or have a question about things to do in San Antonio? If you need help finding a good restaurant,
just need a Band-Aid, or if you need information about places to go in San Antonio, please visit the volunteers
at the Hospitality Booth located in the registration area.
We are always looking for volunteers to help with convention. If you signed up to volunteer, or you have some
extra time to help out, please check in with Karla Cox at the volunteer booth, located in the registration area.
Get information fast with TSHA’s app for convention! Download the app to your mobile device and you will be
able to plan out your convention schedule, view speaker handouts and receive updates on changes.
I would like to give a sincere “thank you” to all of the many members who give their time to volunteer
at Convention. These members have spent a lot of hours dedicated to making this convention successful
year after year. I am proud to say that we are celebrating our 59th convention and applaud our wonderful
volunteers!
In addition to all the wonderful people above, I need to thank my chairs in charge of registration, Sarah Smith
and Stacie Neffendorf and our new Convention Scholarship Chair, Becky Gonzalez. It was an honor to award
three TSHA members with scholarships to convention this year! I also want to thank my councilor, Lauren
Mathews, and Vice-President Elect, Erin Bellue, for their time and expertise as they helped me with many of
the details and decisions for convention. A special thank you needs to be given to our management firm,
Courtesy Associates. To Sarah, Bethany, Cameron and Jean, this convention would not be possible without
all of the help and support! Thank you to everyone for making the TSHA Convention one of the very best state
conventions in the United States.
I hope you enjoy attending the TSHA 59th Annual Convention. We have worked hard to bring our members
an outstanding convention as we Reach New Heights in 2015!

San Antonio Attractions
San Antonio welcomes the
TEXAS SPEECH-LANGUAGE-HEARING ASSOCIATION
for its 2015 Convention and Exhibition!
Experience San Antonio
San Antonio is steeped in rich cultures and traditions, several of which are represented by the various historic sites
found in the downtown area. Three of these destinations are operated by the City of San Antonio: Historic Market Square,
La Villita Historic Arts Village, and Spanish Governor’s Palace. Each site contributes a unique chapter to the history of
San Antonio and the stories continue to unfold with each new generation that visits. Take a tour, enjoy a dance
performance, indulge in the local flavors, and shop for handcrafted wares at one of these great locations!
Attractions
San Antonio boasts a wide range of activities—a little something for everyone. Sure, most people have heard of the
Alamo and the River Walk, but San Antonio is also home to five theme parks, 50+ golf courses, the oldest operating
cathedral in the nation, the largest caverns in Texas, multiple art museums and an events calendar full of festivals,
sporting events and performances.
Dining and Nightlife
San Antonio’s culinary palate derives from the influence of
European and Mexican traditions of generations ago. New
arrivals who settled here introduced us to fragrant spices,
cooking styles reflecting both heritage and innovation, and
foods of exotic lands. Many of our acclaimed chefs who
studied elsewhere bring their world-class training back to our
culinary landscape. Talented new chefs are honing their skills
every day at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America—
San Antonio.
When the stars come out over San Antonio, it’s time to head
to the nightclubs and dance halls. Main Plaza, in the heart
of downtown, has live music all year long. You can two-step
to a country-western band at Cowboys Dance Hall, or soak
up Tejano’s Latin rhythms at Graham Central Station. San
Antonio is home to the revered Jim Cullum Jazz Band (you
may have heard their weekly radio show on NPR) and they
play live at Bohanan’s Prime Steaks & Seafood. Whatever
your mood, San Antonio offers a wide range of entertainment
options when the sun goes down.

Meeting Room: Ballroom A
CE Code: B3G4K
“I am honored (and excited!) to be your keynote speaker this March.
Through my own stories and the stories of families I have served, I will
touch upon the skills and heart-thoughts we need to bring to the table
to support our English Language Learners and children living in poverty.
I walk in your shoes, and I know how hard it is. Together, we will go on
a meaningful and motivating journey. I can’t wait to see you.” – Phuong
Phuong Lien Palafox is a bilingual speech-language pathologist at Bilinguistics. Over the past decade,
she has worked as a public school SLP, a district lead SLP, education specialist at Region 13 Education
Service Center and researcher at UT-Austin and UW-Madison. Currently, her time is happily spent serving
students and supporting SLPs and educators across the Lone Star state. Her work has been featured in the
Communicologist, American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology and the ASHA Leader.
Phuong’s presentations have won the hearts of speech-language pathologists and educators across the
state. Her high energy and sincerity, conveyed through personal stories and creative messages, resonate
with those who dedicate their time supporting others. As an English Language Learner who grew up with
limited means, she personally understands the scope and depth of some of our clients’ and students’ needs.
Her out-of-the-box thinking and time spent working with others have surely made an impact:
“You were so motivating and inspirational.”
“Thank you for pushing me towards a better me.”
“I don’t feel so alone anymore.”
Phuong has a passion for autism, culturally and linguistically diverse needs (including poverty), literacy-based
interventions and service-delivery models for school-based SLPs. She enthusiastically supports SLPs and
educators in their endeavors to make meaningful, daily impact in student and client lives. When not thinking
about the heart-needs of her profession, Phuong enjoys spending time outdoors and eating breakfast tacos
with her kind husband, book-hoarding children and lovely friends.

DONATE
The Cultural and Linguistic Diversity Committee is dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals
with speech and language disorders in the state of Texas, and around the world. Speech and language
therapy is often nonexistent for many individuals who need it most. Often in developing nations, individuals
who have severe communication disorders may not ever have the chance to receive the help they need. We
know that without help, some of these individuals may never learn to talk/communicate, will never have a
chance to go to school with their peers, and many eventually end up institutionalized, or worse. It is our hope
that we can be of assistance and show our support as members of TSHA. This year we would like to collect
speech therapy materials to donate to some speech language pathology programs where they have limited
resources. If you would like to participate please bring your donation to booth 356!!!
