The National Black Association for Speech-Language and Hearing (NBASLH) is sponsoring its Annual Review Course in preparation for the PRAXIS II Examination in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology.

Dysphagia
Craniofacial Anomalies and Related Disorders
Fluency Disorders
Audiology and Hearing Science
Speech-Language Assessment

Strategic Test Taking
The PRAXIS Review Program Chair is Dr. Michele L. Norman.
Each session of the PRAXIS Review is presented by a certified speech-language pathologist or audiologist who is currently in the academic or clinical setting and familiar with the preparation needs for the PRAXIS Examination.
Forum To Review Your Past Praxis Experiences
A special forum will be held for individuals who have previously taken the test, but did not receive a passing score. During this forum, several of the PRAXIS faculty will meet with you one-on-one or in small groups to help you analyze where you had difficulty on the test and to help you focus your preparation. This exclusive forum is in addition to the three-hour session on strategic test taking skills specific to the PRAXIS exam. For this forum, you will need to bring the original score report(s) (or double-sided copies) sent to you from PRAXIS. More information on this Special Forum will be emailed prior to the PRAXIS Review.
