Wow! I'm at the end of my career as an elementary school-based SLP. I have certainly seen the downward shift in language, articulation, & executive function skills in the past few years. It is so interesting to see the stats and research that back this. I had some theories around the sudden introduction of a screen based early childhood. However, your examples were eye-opening. I was especially struck by the example of a parent soothing a young child with a phone. Great presentation

The instructor was lively and engaging. She used lots of examples and supporting data. This is a topic that is very interesting to me because as a school-based and early childhood based SLP, I've been amazed at the changes in communication skills throughout the years, from pre-screens to full on screens that are so popular in our world today.

Wow! One of the best videos I’ve watched in many years. As a school SLP with an increasing caseload of over 100 kids each year this does not surprise me. The data you shared was phenomenal and I can’t wait to share it with teachers, administrators and parents. We all see it and know it’s happening and you covered it so well. Can’t wait to hear about screen time in the classroom!

I am definitely seeing the negative impact of screen time even from children of "good" parents. I thought it was related to socio-economic, but determined it had to be more. This course affirms what I'm seeing and gives the research to support it. I love that it can simply be remedied with conversation plus a little more emphasis on play and EF. I love every course by Angie Neal. She is SHARP and INFORMATIVE. Thanks.

A very important topic is being addressed regarding how excessive "technoference" (screen time that does not encourage face-to-face conversation) coincides with delayed development of communication skills. One major cause, decreased executive functioning skills, is covered in depth. And how an important learning modality, play, can help advance these skills.
