This is one of the best continuing ed courses I have ever taken. After working 30 years as an SLP it was so nice to hear what we were doing the last five years was correct. Love the maximum prompting hierarchy while providing co-teaching with teachers, and ESL teachers when providing intervention through narratives. I wish I had this information early on. If we are going to see a change in Young SLP’s, we should be sure this information is taught at a grad school level!!!!

Enjoyed this video and the examples and information provided. Given that I work in a school setting with children it is important to incorporate academics in a fun way as compared to private practice where it is mainly play based.

I enjoyed learning about the research 20 years ago and now that showed answering wh-questions was not improving comprehension. I learned about the verbal working memory and cuing techniques to help my students.

I love how the instructor reminded me about how adaptable literacy-based activities are to various populations. This approach can be utilized with my students with learning disabilities, autism, etc... all I have to do is vary the level of cueing depending on the skills of the individual students. The instructor reminded me of how to utilize my "toolbox" which helps me work smarter, not harder.

So very true how compartmentalizing therapy skills is an outdated approach and continued wholistic interventions such as narratives provide the foundation for progress and learning to reach all of our diverse populations and meet the range of strengths and needs we have on our caseloads.

I really enjoyed the analogies used to compare language development to exercise, cascading waterfall, etc. It really helped make the information easy to understand in an engaging way.

I am very much for teaching the whole child. I have seen that this approach works. Since moving to Teletherapy, I have gotten away from using the Narrative approach. I will be incorporating more narratives into my lessons from now on.

The good news that narrative language is the most potent form of language therapy. I'm now able to admit that I have always found any other form of language therapy except narrative language to be depressing.

Thank you, Kelly, for bringing tonight what I have been experiencing the past 5 plus years once I realized was ineffective. Kids are not robots and what happens in the therapy has to be real!! Kids also have to know you're human and the more you show up in a way thats relatable to them, the better your therapy will be!

Excellent! The information I learned in this course is applicable to my work with preschoolers with a variety of communication and developmental delays. Kelly Vess uses evidenced-based studies to question "traditional" therapy approaches and provides an alternative to teaching language concepts in isolation. I appreciated her emphasis on modifying one activity to meet the needs of nearly all of an SLP's clients, and I enjoyed her enthusiastic presentation style.
