Dr. Murray was fantastic! Her extensive knowledge and most importantly her personal story of being someone who is bilingual, made the presentation very informative and memorable. It was very helpful! Though I know there is much more to learn and/or areas that I need to revisit, I’m grateful for her enthusiasm, encouragement and research-based resources.

Presenter has actually done this work and was not simply re-iterating that we should "follow best practices" in evaluation which is usually the guidance given by state department of ed professionals and then variously interpreted by each district director of special education. Extremely few of these people are SLPs and some of them have never actually functioned in multi-lingual settings.

This course clearly explained what is expected and what is/is not permitted when evaluating students who are not primary English speakers. I work at a school district where a large portion of the population is non-native English speakers so this information is critically important to me.

I didn't know very much about testing children whose primary language isn't English, so I wasn't sure about how this is typically done. The presenter obviously has a lot of experience in this area and she was excellent at conveying what she knows. There were a lot of aspects of testing these children that I never would have considered, had she not mentioned it.

Although the material in this course was very relevant and extremely important, way too much information was presented at once. This course would have been best as a two or even three part series for better absorption of the material, even with the disclaimer that this was an introductory course for further independent study.

Professor Gonzalez-Murray discussed the challenges of monolingual SLPs in providing valid and reliable assessments to multilingual students. She guided us through a unique approach for evaluating multilingual students. This should enable the team to appropriately identify a communication difference vs disorder.

I loved this presenter so much! She was encouraging and yet also very clear on what should and shouldn't be done as a monolinguistic SLP trying to assess a bilingual individual. I learned so very much during this course and in such a short amount of time. I will definitely recommend this course to my colleagues.

This course has great information to get started with evaluating bilingual populations, but the accompanying slides did not match well with the presentation and about a third of the slides were not included in the downloadable handout.
