I enjoyed the topic and concepts, but the way the presentation was structured, as in "let's find out which hypothesis is correct," or in a linear fashion as to how research was conducted and proceeded, lessoned clarity. That is, I was following along with easy-first, and absorbing/seeing how I would apply, when "surprise," this hypothesis is actually wrong, and hard first is the winner. I would have preferred knowing ahead of time that hard-first is the winner.

Don't feel like I really know which vocabulary and morphemes are the "hard" ones to teach FIRST... the kids I work with struggle with ALL the things. I just don't feel like I had any "ah ha" moments that I can take back to therapy with me to help.

by

The review of the research to support evidence based practice for grammar was useful. The introduction of nonprototypical + harder to inflect verbs was newer information for me which she presented in a meaningful way to clinicians.

It was useful (and fascinating!) to consider so many different factors (both phonologically-based and meaning-based) that can be considered when determining which words to include in morpheme therapy sessions.

I enjoyed the end result of learning - teaching hard first is effective. However, there was SO MUCH detail in the research given in a short amount of time.. it was hard for me to keep up! I would prefer some examples of the therapy approaches as well.

This is an area of language therapy I have not been previously exposed too. I loved learning the information and it has completely re-designed how I approach morphology/syntax therapy sessions. This course has given me a structure which allows for increased confidence when tackling these therapy goals in treatment sessions.

Her research was confusing and did not seem to show evidence of treatment strategies that significantly increased performance. Take away learning was minimal to none. I feel that this area has potential in terms of research but it seems like much more research is needed before clinical outcomes can be used to effective positive change in therapy sessions.

I needed her to define her terms. Recast therapy was never really defined - at least from my understanding. From there the presentation became very technical and did not provide hope for practical application.
by

It was well presented, however, due to lack of time, I do not feel that the information was gone over in-depth.. making the topics confusing at times.

Not very practical information. My big take away from it was "more research is needed", and it seemed pretty complicated to try to implement. I get the concept of starting with the more advanced concepts, but it was unclear what this would look like in a therapy session.
by
Member
on
May 14, 2021
It had no real practical uses. It would have been beneficial if they shared how they implemented the therapeutic strategies from the study. Even an example of a syntax story would have been helpful.
by

The presenter provided multiple examples to illustrate concepts, and supported these with clear slides and research.

It made me look at vocabulary and morphology in a more sophisticated manner. It reinforces counter intuitive ideas which is to start with easy concepts and then move onto harder concepts.
