I don't feel that the instructor provided enough information relating to SLPs ability to distinguish if there is a disability or not in regards to identifying and assessment. She also didn't thoroughly explain the conceptual framework.

Describing a huge world wide problem influenced by many variables does not allow for concrete practical solutions. More of an altruistic than practical approach, likely due to the fact that there is no practical approach. More of a speech than a learning event.

It presented new information about communication needs of forced migrant children. I learned that Malta had a detention policy for migrants and that the Maltese people indicated that migrants should adapt to the culture of Malta. Forced migrants were interested in work opportunities and learning the host country's language. Formal assessment of communication skills with this population wasn't a preferable option. Instead more informal assessment by interviewing caregivers, observing the children in a play setting and informal testing were indicated.

I felt this instructor had her own experience about migrants that entered Malta but was trying to generalize to all migrants elsewhere. It felt more disorganized and no specific examples were given which would have helped with learning.

The instructor appeared to go off on tangents, as well as talk in circles (repeating what had already been said. It was difficult to understand the instructor's speech due to irregular emphasis on common words, such as 'adults'. Viewing the slides was necessary to understanding the spoken content.
