Assessment of non-English-speaking children is such an important topic. How to gather relevant information to determine delay / disorder using cultural sensitivity and lack of bias within a specific framework was really good information. Standardized testing w/o this type of information gathering does not give sufficient information about whether or not a child/client needs therapy or what their potential for learning is.

I appreciated the instructor's instructions of how to use a mediated learning experience within a Dynamic Assessment and the examples she used to demonstrate this. I would have liked to have observed an example of a MLE with a multi-language learner, as the video examples shown were for English-speaking students.

At times it was difficult to listen to the presenter as she seemed disorganized, maybe just nervous.

The idea behind the presentation was good and I will look into the core points in other resourses.

Sharon is very knowledgeable & experienced in DA, explained the MLE process well. Some of Sharon's specific points were very helpful,e.g., choosing very specific target for MLE, explaining to student the components of the MLE process. I hoped for more explanation re: use of interpreters, how when to expect child to or for clinician(s) to use their other languages.Short course can't cover everything! Thank you!(another Q: what to do if you realize during MLE that the target was too low/high?)

I was very interested in the ethnographic interview and the importance of going into an assessment as the "learner". Many times, we tend to assess child only in school setting and don't put much emphasis on the child's cultural experiences. MLE and how to choose a target to teach, definitely great information. I can see following this teaching strategy, breaking it down to a target skill to teach, and appreciate that we were given a target percentage of error to consider which skill.
