I thought, overall, this was an excellent course, especially for those working with Birth to 3 or early childhood. As an SLP who has worked with those younger populations, it is vital to understand the parent's perspective. I appreciated the presenter's alternatives to the "I'm sorry" response, which can be so automatic but yet not reflect the true emotion that one wants to communicate.

I really liked this course. It truly spelled out and defined the difficulties parents live through on a daily basis. As an SLP for 23 years, I have learned the importance of active listening and being present in the moment. Parents need an outlet. They need an understanding ear. Often, they feel judged or talked down to by professional service providers. Too much information for a new diagnosis is overwhelming. This course summed it up nicely.

The presenter was a good communicator. She provided great real life examples from her work experiences. I often wondered how challenging it is to have a special needs child. The anxiety parents of a special needs child have many more struggles than those parents with typical children. This was discussed at length. The part about what to say to the parents to support them was very valuable to me. I will use toset suggestions in the future.
