The speaker was excellent! So easy to listen to and follow. I really appreciated her style of answering questions throughout the course which I think both clarifies and allows for interesting points to be discussed a bit further. I learned so much about DLD and am hoping there are more courses on SP.com.

Awesome presentation and information! This has reinforced information I have seen through the years in my own students and with my own children with DLD. I am glad to see the field looking at DLD through the lens of Neuro-Developmental disorders because of how significantly it can impact an individual across life, not just in school.

by

The presenter was clear and knowledgable on this topic. Thinking of DLD as a neurodevelopmental disability was an important exercise in reminding us as clinicians to consider how specific skills need to be considered within a broader context so that the true impact is realized by teachers, parents, and non-professionals. This allows us to support our students in ways that are not limited by deficits and instead will maximize our students' potential. It is eye opening to consider the minimal research that is done in both DLD and SSD given their prevalence and the impact each has on the emotional well being of our children when not identified.

Oh my, VERY knowledgable ! So appreciated this look at a very complex disorder with lots of layers. Could it be that even as an SLP I might fit in this category? Made me look closer at my family and myself, having always had some thoughts that perhaps there was a thread of a disorder. A lot to think about. Also, because I am an older SLP I do like having the "new knowledge" of the term and what all it can imply. Thank you!

I strongly agree with and appreciate the confirmation of this statement: "...knowing that theproblem could reemerge in a different context with different demands or perhaps evenmirrors a different diagnostic category, I think, means rechecks on your diagnosticdecisions will always be important...".

It just confirmed what I've known all along that the lines between different disorders blur and sometimes there isn't one disorder manifesting in children at one time. Also I like that it shows that the symptoms tend to change as the student progresses through school and I think our services need to change to meet the needs at these different levels. This isn't happening, as the student gets older and I think we're underserving students in Middle and High school levels for language support.

This is exactly what I am experiencing as a clinician in the schools. This is especially true in low-income schools. There is not enough time to assess and develop individualized programming/intervention in the elementary years, and there is no interest by the government to do anything about that. This is the case even though it should be well known that language skills are going to have an effect on academic learning. I do not feel that our profession does enough to advocate for this, and clinicians simply do not have the time to lay this ground work and we also do not have the power. We can be driven to collect and present all the data that we want, but if the 'powers that be' are not ready to hear it, then they will not hear it. Presentations with this type of information are not even permitted to be heard if it is not a priority up above. It is ludicrous.
