This course has better defined many areas of the evaluation process for me. I am an SLPA and sometimes I don't understand my supervising SLP's goal for my students. I'm feeling a little more confident understanding of her expectations with presented goals.

What an exciting presenter! Kelly Vess was fantastic, and I loved how she incorporated the red flags for language impairments when assessing speech sound disorders. I think language impairments are often over-looked as one of the reasons for the speech sound errors we are seeing. I'm looking forward to the next 3 courses in her series.

This course was excellent because it clearly explained how to evaluate preschoolers’ speech sound disorders using real examples and evidence-based methods. Kelly Vess made complex ideas easy to understand and connected speech, language, and literacy in a meaningful way. The practical strategies, like using connected speech samples and analyzing vowels, can be applied directly in clinical settings to improve evaluations and outcomes.

Kelly’s passion and knowledge work together to effectively communicate important information and correlation between disorders of speech and diagnostic outcomes. More importantly though, she offers practical advice on how to use the diagnostic tools and testing data to both help the child improve in therapy, while also providing real time improvement reports to insurance companies, families, and educational providers.

A few times I got kind of lost and had to replay the section to make sure I was extracting the correct information. My learning style kind of requires a methodical listing of discrete facts, so maybe it's me. The seminar helped me refresh on speech sound/language disorders for sure. Thank you!
