This course was excellent because it clearly explained the relationship between language, syntax, and executive functioning, emphasizing functional impact on comprehension and expression. The focus on prioritizing meaningful syntactic targets, understanding sentence processing difficulties, and using a systems-based approach to intervention made the content highly practical and evidence based. I appreciated the clear clinical rationale and applicability across diagnoses.

I have been aware that the structure of a sentence when giving oral directions impacts comprehension. However, I have had a difficult time conveying to other professions (i.e., teachers, learning assistants) why. This has helped me find a structured and clear way to explain this to others.

This course addressed some heavy topics. I appreciated the presenter beginning the webinar with definitions for the terms executive functioning and syntax. In addition, I found it helpful when the meanings for and examples of content words and function words were given. My biggest takeaway from this class is to provide students with explicit instruction in order to equip them with a variety of strategies to employ the most appropriate one when needed.

executive functioning vs language
by

on

My favorite take aways were the interaction between language and EF as well as sentence types that are particularly challenging for people with language disorders. Good reminder that language skills do not develop linearly. Would have liked more practical information on applying this information to assessment, goal writing, progress monitoring, and therapy so the information was more useful during day-to-day practice.

I found the presentation of the hierarchy of sentence structure and the relationship to metaliquistics pertinent to my current work with individuals with intellectual disability. The listing of complex sentence types which are challenging and the mention of target causal and temporal words was useful.

I now have a clearer picture of which sentence structures pose the greatest challenge for students and how to prioritize them for intervention based on their functional impact on communication, rather than just using a developmental checklist.

I liked this course because it looked at executive functioning, language and reading skills across several different disorder/diagnoses and told you where you should consider teaching kids with difficulty in these areas by focusing on language comprehension and expression with the use of passive voice, adverb clauses and relative clauses to build higher level language skills.

I've never seen this taught.. anywhere.. and I've always been thinking about this topic. I liked the top down/bottom up approach as well as the goal of integrating language comprehension with EF skills within a team framework to support learning by generalization. This was a superb presentation!
