A wonderful presentation that gives a good overview of DLD and what it looks like in early childhood as well as into adulthood. Especially helpful were the connections made between early development/presentation to presentation later on in younger adulthood. I also appreciated that although DLD is developmental, emphasis was placed on the importance of external and environmental factors as having potential positive (or negative) influence on a child's DLD.

I felt that this could have provided more applicable strategies and maybe some case studies of real patients. The presenter focused on the research which is great, but I felt I could have used some more explanation regarding some real patients to further my understanding.

The research on language trajectories was interesting although disheartening. I appreciated that Dr. McGregor emphasized that absolute language ability improves and that intervention can by a facilitating factor even if children with DLD do not "catch up."

This course, as the first in a series, takes on a very important topic. The presentation was rich in information and current research, with important clinical and diagnostic relevance. It was a challenging presentation, and looking back at the slides, I found myself in need of further information to clarify ( had taken notes). Overall, I am more enthusiastic about taking the other courses in this series after attending this presentation.

It was good to see the data from the research and listen to someone else present it so that I didn't have to go through it myself. For topics that I know are an issue in my district, it always helps to hear someone else present information in a particular way versus my reading of various articles. It would've been nice to hear some more examples of how to present this information to the administration in areas are in desperate need of services.

I liked the speaker, Ms McGregor, as she was highly organized. I had a harder time processing all the research. To me, she didn’t explain clearly the data from the research and how it pertains to the big picture of therapy. This is just the first part so I hope tomorrow will be more insightful for me personally. I did have some trouble logging into the course as well, which is not her fault in the least. I look forward to learning more tomorrow.
