This was a really great course about increasing writing instruction with this specific population. I loved seeing how AAC was integrated, as well, which is something we are pushing for more of in the district I work in. I would love for all my SpEd teachers to take this course!

If the ultimate goal is to develop written language skills, the cases shown do not appear to demonstrate the potential for going beyond putting random letters on a page. I don’t see this as ultimately leading to that. It appeared to ultimately be an expressive language task once in the writers chair that appeared to be a positive group experience.I do not see a realistic application of this approach with this student population for developing meaningful written language skills.

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!
