I have always found the ICF model to be difficult to understand, and Dr Westby presented it in a way that was so applicable to goal-writing and assessment and/or tracking progress, that I can confidently apply it in clinical practice.

Depth and breadth of this instructor's knowledge is awe inspiring. I loved that she went through many scales and assessments in detail. Broadened my comfort with weaving theory to clinical application.

The integration of the ICF into what we already know about IDEA is very useful and a new way to think about the children we serve.New ways and tools to think about assessing pragmatic participation, rather than capacity was very helpful!

To be honest, this was not my favorite course to date. It was difficult to take in the information with the informal style of which the presenter bashed the school systems ability to provide transition services...especially since the whole topic was on increasing the ability to look beyond the standardization and use functional performance as a key indicator.

Some of the speakers expectations of support in the schools seemed high considering the large caseload sizes of most SLPs; these are the types of recommendations that make SLPs seem incompetent when they are just trying to keep their heads above water.

I found the use of the terms; contextual framework, capacity, activity/participation confusing throughout the presentation because I did not have a solid understanding of the definition of each of the terms as they related to the ICF. I was further confused when these terms were used during the review of several assessment tools. The green screen was distracting.

Wow. Leave it to Dr. Westby to up the ante and bring a whole new perspective to school-based services. I am happily astonished to have this new framework by which to organize my service delivery and general attitude toward goal writing and child development. My only concern is the emerging awareness of Neurodiversity and the trend to avoid writing "compliance goals" or approach treatment from a "remediation" perspective (the classic medical/disease model). I would be interested to hear Dr. Westby's thoughts. As always she does not disappoint! Thank you for all the free resources and comprehensive assessment list. It will be immediately applicable.

Dr. Westby is one of my favorite presenters! She presents solid data and provokes much thought. The ICF framework works well with children and compels us to consider multiple aspects of a child's life instead of just looking at tests scores and deficit areas. We must consider the whole child and consider their unique strengths, weaknesses, supports, etc. Thank you for an excellent presentation!
