Dr Hodson is so knowledgeable with her years of working in phonology. Thank you for breaking it down for a 40+ year SLP who is still actively employed. I hope I am still working in this profession at 81. I saw Dr Hodson speak about Cycles in 1984 in Ft Wayne Indiana and it changed the way I did therapy as I immediately put Hodson's Cycles into practice. I am still full-time in the schools and still use cycles. Parent's are amazed at the progress their child makes.

The instructor packed a lot of information into this seminar which is good but if someone is not well versed in phonemic awareness and place and manner of production of sounds, they may find the visuals confusing. Perhaps more word examples and videos would help less experienced SLP's understand the content better. Given my level of expertise, I found some of the tricks and techniques to sound production very helpful.

Though was somewhat of a review of information for me, there were new things for me to learn and important aspects of this subject that I "relearned".

There was some improvement over the previous day (assessment presentation). There were not environmental auditory distractions in the background. However, she still struggled with navigating the slides and did not speak fluidly. There was a certain lack of coherence at times. There was also redundancy on each day (assessment and intervention presentations). This went beyond reviewing and/or emphasizing key concepts. There were large portions of repetitions. She did not address choosing high frequency phonemes and high frequency vocabulary words. I would have liked to have seen that. Naturally if sounds that are the most frequent in a particular language, they will have a major impact on intelligibility if they are omitted or have unusual substitutions - moreso than phonemes that are rarely used. The same holds true for frequent vocabulary. That will help intelligibility at single meaningful word and phrase levels, at least. The appendices were helpful, but should have included a diagram or chart of vowel place of production. She made a point not to chose vowels with lip rounding in order to avoid intrusion of /w/, so there should have been a vowel chart to supplement that point.

Barbara Hodson's theory and application of her theory swept me off my feet when I first hear them. They have guided my interventions since then. It was good to hear her ideas again. I imagine that this information is too complicated for many clinicians. It appears to be disorganized, because she does not have an explicit process. Rather she observes each child and deduces what is interfering the most in order to choose her targets. Simultaneously she anticipates other targets. Because she works with very young children, she has deduced how to work with them without requiring a lot of work from them. She also deduced which errors in their phonology system, explain their errors. The concept of phonological processes, allows us to intervene in ways that improve a lot of what makes them unintelligible without having to spend years addressing sound, by sound in each word position, and finally generalization. She takes advantage of their natural language learning system to leverage new phonological rules that improve their intelligibility. It's very clever, but not easy to understand.
