The course covered a highly relevant topic for all of the SLPs working within school based settings and I was very hopeful that I would encounter new information or strategies to implement in my current district. Essentially, with the exception of the last five minutes of the course featuring the Q&A, the course felt very out of touch with my everyday experience is as a school based SLP with a caseload of seventy students across multiple schools.

This course had some great information and made me realize what my goals are missing. However, I wish there had been more examples. All goals were based on a middle school student. It wouldn't been helpful if examples had been presented for all age/grade-levels. Also, many of the links referenced in the video are no longer active. Can these be updated?!

Good information but it felt outdated at this point, and while I think goals should have elements of all of the SMARTER components, how these are worded are EXTREMELY lengthy and not parent friendly. I never heard of citing the research within the goal and usually just have it available if asked.

I truly appreciated the examples of SMARTER goals. They are a great resource to bring to special education meetings for a starting point to talk about effective goal writing. It was eye-opening to learn about including research based statements in goals. Such an informative and immediately applicable course.

This course provided a highly ethical approach to goal-writing for our students. However, the reality of functional time allotted during a school day to SLP's for non-therapy tasks is minimal. Sadly, I believe that school administrators and case managers would be knocking on our therapy doors with a myriad of complaints. Yet...I loved the course.
by
Member

Did not fully account for what the true caseload of a school based SLP looks like and how this might prevent most of the strategies discussed in this CEU from being able to be functionally used in an SLP's day. Unrealistic goals for school based SLPs with unattainable strategies for school based SLPs.

While there was a lot of great material in this course, I did feel like the presenters were coming from a point of "cookie cutter" life, which, is ironic considering the topic of the presentation. One point the presenters made that if SLPs were not able to be compliant with IDEA IEP writing, we were to consult with higher ups to tell them that we were unable to write compliant IEP/ARDs. However, the tone of voice made it seem that if we weren't already doing that, we were at fault.

In the many years I have been a school-based SLP, I have never been confident with goal writing. You take the mandatory tutorials for the state or district and from there you yourself are to apply it to speech therapy goals. This addressed speech therapy! I get it now!
