Clear examples were given of AAE and how to communicate it in the positive, instead of comparing to mainstream examples. The breakdown of looking at language systems and then looking for errors within the system helped wrap my head around the students I see.

Dr. Hamilton is extremely knowledgeable and successful in meeting her stated learning outcomes. Her enthusiasm is contagious. She provides essential tools to assist SLPs in making culturally responsible assessments in determining if an African-American English speaking child displays a communication difference or a communication disorder.

This is a universal course that should be not an elective but mandatory. Too many children from various culture are overly identified by people who are not familiar with culture diversity in language. She was able to break it down in simple terms that would help many unfamiliar with the culture language difference.

Fantastic instructor. I found the idea of describing AAE with neutral statements rather than as omissions/substitutions very powerful. I also really loved the re-framing around what it means to be educated (e.g., being educated by the military). The challenge of trying to read a paragraph written to correspond to AAE was illuminating as well. The Q&A at the end was great; I only wish it had been a longer discussion.

This course was extremely thorough. I have not seen information on the assessment of AAE presented in such a culturally sensitive and positive way before. I love the idea of identifying what rules the child is using, rather than stating the negative (i.e. omits the plurals). Lots of good points and reminders for assessment in this presentation. I will think differently about how I approach assessment for students using the AAE after this course.

It explained a concept that is often difficult to comprehend for many individuals in our society. It is easier for MAE speakers to accept the differences of a person from another country (i.e. China) who is speaking English than it is for accepting AAE as a code.

Her great passion and expertise in this topic, to realize and learn what effective ways we can reduce unnecessary burden on Kids speaking AAE, it helps to assess and document what are the rules that are in AAE and not what aren’t there.
