What made it effective is the fact that the information she presented is true. AAE is a 'dialect' that has its own linguistic system and should not be seen as a language disorder but a language difference.

The presenter's passion for and knowledge about the subject matter was evident. Throughout the presentation, the importance of respecting African American English (AAE) as a dialect of English was stressed. She introduced prompts/questions to pose to caregivers/teachers/students in order to gather pertinent information about the client and family. I appreciated the thoughtful responses that she provided to the inquiries generated by the live audience.

This course was excellent because it emphasized the importance of respecting cultural identity in communication, particularly for African American English speakers. It highlighted how behaviors and language differences are culturally embedded, not deficits, and taught practical strategies like ethnographic interviewing and dynamic assessment to better understand and support students. The focus on cultural responsiveness and equity made it highly relevant and insightful for speech therapists.

Dr. Megan Brette-Hamilton is an amazing speaker. This was my first time listening to her and I really enjoyed the presentation. She provided great insight into this topic and I feel more knowledgeable as well as reassured that what I have been doing over the course of my career (29 years) that I've doing things correctly and responsibly. However, I learned so much more and how to go about my therapy sessions as well as assessments from this point forward.

Fantastic presentation of the communication for African American English Speech Students. The presentation was easy to understand especially for someone who has a little knowledge of the AAE language but not a lot. This presentation really helps to understand the AAE student and what is from their culture & dialect and what may be a language or speech impairment.

This course was excellent because it opened my eyes to MAE VS AAE. As a speaker of the AAE Caribbean British language, it was very difficult for me in school. I wish we had a review of this subject for teachers and SLPs. I still see this situation with my Spanish students vs. my MAE Speakers. Dr. Hamilton introduced me to ways of not changing the assessment but looking at ways in which we can make it relative to the students. Language Sample, Ethnographic Interviews, and Dynamic Assessment.

I really appreciated learning about dialectical differences when it comes to African American English. I still came away from the course feeling confused about whether or not I should make goals for my deaf or hard of hearing students in order to help them listen for the past tense, plural, or possessive markers used in mainstream English, if that is not their home dialect. For students with high frequency hearing loss, they often tend to leave off those endings because they don't hear them.
