This was an excellent introduction to the complexity approach as it gave reasoning for the success of the approach: "simpler" input (as opposed to complex) results in giving only partial information about linguistic structure. I also liked how the instructor shared effective clinical tips based on her experience (e.g. address deletions quickly).

I've been using complexity for years now. I appreciated that she presents all the significant research to persuade us to move beyond minimal pairs and traditional hierarchy therapy for maximal client outcomes. Her triangle duagram of complexity considerations that is then used to select sounds is worth the watch! Highly recommend.

I have several kiddos who have extremely poor intelligibility and I have always used stimulable early developing phonemes as my first target. This is allowing me to think differently and hopefully help the children more quickly

While I've heard of the complexity approach to therapy, and I've actually tried the approach before with a few students, I did not understand the approach well. This is probably why I didn't have much success with the approach in the past. I'm looking forward to trying this therapy approach and hope to have more success with it! Thanks for a great course!

I hear what she is saying; however, after 27 years of being an SLP and doing therapy the traditional way I would have a hard time switching over to this style of therapy. It is good to keep in mind, however and possibly do a hybrid approach.
