I work with mostly AAE-speaking students, and this was extremely helpful for me. I learned how sometimes my own biases and “cultural norms” may become my expectations of my students if I’m not constantly aware of our differences. There was so much information provided that was insightful and will change the way I approach not only assessments but also intervention with this population.

Learning about cultural language not only for AAE for others cultures involved of how we must put together culture, ID and practice. This lesson taught me about a lot of myths I learned as fact for fitting one in another culture and not accepting others.

Fantastic presentation!!! If you work with African American students you NEED to take this course! I am in the process of cleaning up a caseload I inherited and have several students that have been over identified in my opinion. I took this course to basically validate my knowledge to be able to properly analyze the assessments and and explain the findings to the teachers who are saying one particular student continues to need speech based on their opinions because they can't understand him.

I have not been familiar with AAE, although I do recognize that it can be a part of culture that I interact with professionally. This course was a wonderful way to identify how to shift my perspective and continue to be cultural responsive. As a current instructor at the graduate level for a multicultural considerations class, I appreciated listening to a fellow SLP who has spent time and researched this area. It is beneficial to know more and be encouraged to grow in this.

This was one of ( if not my favorite course) on speechpathology.com. The instructor and the way the material was presented was interesting, engaging and concise. It had been awhile since I've had a course on AAE, and I felt I learned more from this course that any of my courses on this subject previously. I feel this course has made me so much more prepared in the future with my assessments.

I chose this course because we have several African American English speaking students in our school and oftentimes teachers believe that they have speech/language delays, when really it is a dialectal/cultural difference, not a delay. This course will be a great resource to refer back to when teachers have questions about if a student should be referred for an evaluation.

As a black school-based SLP in her infancy of her career (year 5), I want to continue to be well educated and versed on the roles that ones' culture and identity can play in their overall speech and language development. It's so imperative that we continue to have the educational tools to discriminate between what may be language disorder versus simply a language differences. My hope is to help educate those in my school and future schools that I plan to work for.

I could feel the instructor's passion for the topic and the breadth and depth of their understanding of the topic throughout the presentation. I appreciated learning strategies to use "positive thinking" and "positive language" to describe dialectal differences rather than describing it as having features "omitted" or "erred", and I think this will help me communicate more effectively to all stakeholders that the dialectal difference truly is "OK" and that I'm not passing a value judgment.

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.
