I enjoyed this course because it was interesting to learn about how executive functions can impact a child's development and how attimes it can go unnoticed until a child reaches adulthood. The graphs that were provided made it easy to follow giving me a better insight of the various functions that determine an individual's performance in all areas of life.

This presentation was very detailed and organized. It was an in-depth look at the assessment of executive function. While limitations, such as time and resources, were acknowledged, I would have liked to hear about ways to embed the assessment pieces in our speech/language evaluation.

The instructor offered many ideas for language and EF areas that should be assessed but provided little information on specific informal and formal test. I was hoping for more direct information such as, "If you're observing ... behaviors, then this specific formal/informal assessment would be a beneficial measure of their skills/deficits." I realize the instructor crammed a lot of information in a short time and think another course from this instructor would be beneficial.

I wish there were more suggestions about how to improve the evaluation process in the schools, given that a student in one of the case studies was found ineligible for speech and language services based on the available language assessments in a school, but eligible when more assessments were available in the presenter's clinic. The suggestion seemed to be for parents to seek an outside neuropsych evaluation, but not all parents can afford that.

This was wonderful information on how executive functions have a major impact on a teen or tween's ability to communicate beyond the surface level, and how to pinpoint why they can recall basic facts, but some how just are not "getting it" in the classroom. I look forward to the next session in the series where I can learn more about applying this information in my therapy sessions.

I do not recommend this course. Within the first five minutes the presenter refers to students that have difficulty with executive function tasks as "the fails". The ableist rhetoric continues throughout. These classes should be neurodiversity affirming. You cannot say it is important to advocate for students and refer to them as "the fails" in the same presentation.

This is a fascinating topic and so easy to overlook in the schools because our "approved", for lack of a better word, tests do not cover this. As an slp in a hospital for many earns I worked on EF but then moving to the school we don't test for this. I do have small caseload at a high school for very bright students. My caseload there is mostly high functioning Autism. At least one student I work with needs help with EF. Thank you for this course.

Excellent course in EF and the complexity of evaluation. Even as a seasoned clinician, EF evaluations feel daunting (and often overwhelming). I appreciate how the instructor proposes a more nuanced assessment that looks at the big picture (language, social-emotional, EFs). But sadly, most SLPs in clinical and school settings don't have 3-4 hours to complete such an in-depth battery of tests. How do we realistically prioritize which tests to get best profile of this child?

As a school-based SLP, I felt this webinar pointed out a lot of ways evaluating EFs can be made difficult or done incorrectly in the school setting but not ways that school-based SLPs could overcome these issues. Informative in ways but not super helpful for my everyday practice. I also felt the presenter perhaps lacked knowledge regarding eligibility requirements that school-based SLPs are required to follow.

I appreciated the information about the ideal ways to clinically evaluate for EF, but at the same time recognizing the differences between university clinic versus public school-based evaluation abilities. Her knowledge of EF was vast, and I think I'll find the resources at the end to be very helpful (info about which tests assess which EF skills, and what questions to ask when interviewing).
