The course covered a topic for which I had very limited knowledge. Our school caseloads of students with severe needs has grown considerably over the past five-ten years and currently includes many students with significant, complex communication needs. Addressing written language is something that has not been undertaken in the manner described in this course and the presentation has definitely given me ideas and a plan for introducing writing to them.

As an SLP who spent 7 years in the schools co-teaching writing with resource teachers and life-skills teachers, but now works in an outpatient rehab setting where writing is not considered "medically necessary" I loved this presentation. It gave validity and life to working on writing and showed the ways that writing IS communication and is a necessary life skill. I can't wait to think about this in my current setting and showing validity to incorporating literacy in new and fun ways!
