The information was difficult to follow at times. At the beginning of the presentation, the presenter showed a grid and said,"this doesn't make sense now but it will later." I didn't understand why he was showing us something he didn't expect us to understand at that point. Additionally, the switching of headsets was annoying. Questions had to be repeated because the presenters were switching headsets.

The information, low tech use of sticky notes, 5 point scales, variety of persons to describe are wonderful tools. Video demonstration of the interviewer's guidance during the comparing and contrasting of people characteristics is needed as there are nuances that are difficult to understand through descriptions given. The description of the layout and interpretation of grid results still left me confused and feeling incompetent to replicate in my own therapy. At all times we are therapy intervention driven. Please have specific applications and examples for intervention strategies to proceed such as IEP goals or therapy activities.

The repertory grid is a helpful tool, and I can see many uses of it. I immediately thought of how it might be useful with the stuttering population, which you mentioned in the Q/A portion of the course. I thought it was an effective and somewhat efficient way of determining social issues, emotional reactions to social situations, etc., which might give great insight into the psyche of an individual (both those with social-cognitive developmental disorders and those who are neurotypical). I'm glad to know of it.

I loved the descriptions of the theories that make up the theory that ASD is a disorder of prediction. Also, I thought the concept of a repertory grid to explore personal constructs is brilliant and more than appropriate in our work with adolescents and adults on the spectrum. If communication is the reciprocal exchange of thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and ideas, then we should be supporting persons on the spectrum with their own personal constructs!
