I really appreciated learning more about the research related to speech/language skills and early reading predictors. I also appreciated getting information about the MLU research as what I was using was old information. I am looking forward to using the screening tools that were recommended. The entire course was filled with great information! Thank you!

Really good information. I practiced for over 12 years before I figured out that inconsistent phonological errors get referred as speech, but are actually language. 100% agree that the nature of the error is far more important than the number of errors! I refuse to pass out age-of-mastery norm charts for this reason. Omissions and syllable level processes need treated early!

Her examples are very concrete, she provides links in how to access screening procedures that she recommends for free. This is huge for me, often courses make suggestions that require purchasing expensive materials or systems. Love that her focus is on valuing our time so that we can provide our best treatment. The visuals in summarizing her information are also very important for showing how it all connects and goes together. I learned a lot of new info. Thanks so much!
