I worked with a family of a toddler/preschooler who migrated from North Africa a few years ago, I was not aware of the migration issues that may have contributed to their circumstance. I am extremely responsive to looking at the whole child and considering cultural and linguistic factors. In our area most immigrant/ forced migrant families come from Mexico South and Central America. I realize now that I need to consider the impact of trauma and experience based factors in a broader group of immigrant/ migrant cultures. Very helpful

The presenter read directly from the screen, therefore I could have read the powerpoint to complete this. I did not gain takeaways that are different from what I already know; to make an individualized plan for each student I work with. However, this did make me think about migrant families and what they endure.

The.course content did not to me seem particularly applicable to clinical practice. It made the case for the need for culturally and linguistically sensitive care, but I was expecting to learn about the neurodevelopmental impact of trauma among migrants on communication development, and I did not feel this course addressed that topic.

It made me think of my role as a SLP with migrant children, which is a role I haven't thought about. The presenter brought up some excellent points and I specifically appreciated hearing what the migrant community would like more of: language and literacy in English and/or the native language of the host country, access to jobs/job opportunities. Those are two very practical needs that as an SLP I have training to help migrant families with! This made me excited :)

I was looking for more information regarding how the effects of migration relate to ACE's and impact on communication development. I felt I already understood the information in the presentation, and the challenges migrants face in a new country, culture and/or religion and the SLP's role in supporting these children. This was definitely a good review, but a lot was related to systemic challenges.

The course focused heavily on policies and procedure discussion that did not seem to be relevant to the overall topic of trauma. 75% of the course discussed those policies/procedures without in-depth discussion of traumatic events that population. 25% of the course then attempted to shed light on how to interact with those families. I think this course could have been summarized and delivered in a different way. I also don't care for references to political issues/debates, and I felt that there were strong undertones of that as well.
