I work with middle school students with special needs. I appreciated a course that was directly for this age group. I liked the terminology used: academic/business English. I really feel that this terminology used with students will encourage them to aim for success. I liked the clearly defined speech goals presented in a chart format. I specifically liked the intonation practice activity "My Sister Has Red Hair!" I can see the students having a lot of fun with this in the classroom.

It was interesting to learn about LEAP and goals and the impact of the program. However, the content was a bit jumbled and dense with academic jargon that made parts of it difficult to understand. I feel as though the course could have been presented more clearly and more succinctly. Overall, the information gave me insight on the importance of strong communication skills in older children.

I like this course as it provided a framework for providing instruction to high school students with real world communication skills in mind. It's not easy to find instruction and ideas for work with older kids on communication. I had hoped there might be a few more activities shared, but the ones included, combined with the framework were appreciated and helpful.

Programs pointing toward transition of students to higher education and the workforce can be limited when it comes to the importance of communication skills as a tool in the transition. The presenters gave a variety of examples, rubrics, and video references that can be used to add to these programs with the help of the speech/language pathologist to build skills with both non-language and language impaired students.

The information was helpful and applicable to the middle school and high school students on my caseload. I particularly liked the idea of using the term "academic/business" English when speaking to students about language. I also like the term "register", as well as the breaking down communication into it's components and defining them so that students understand what successful communication entails.

A very informative presentation on how to address and support communication skills in older youth. Though the content of this presentation is targeted towards middle/high school students, I think that SLPs working with all grade levels would benefit from this course. It shows the direction in which younger elementary students are headed and the ways in which their communication ability will continue to grow and progress to achieve specific "real-life" communication goals.
