I have substantial training and experience with implementing evaluations and intervention for both AAC and literacy, but surprisingly have never trained in the synthesis of both domains. This course truly helped me pull it all together! I look forward to taking the other parts.

I like how this course tied together practices from other trainings (e.g. Scarborough's rope, simple view, etc). I also enjoyed all the resources provided, that is important for future use. This is not a topic that I am currently using a lot of with my students, however, I am sure I will have students in the future where I will need to refer to this. We often think about AAC separately from other skill areas, so it was great to have it combined.

I have not had the opportunity to work with students who use AAC devices in recent years. Assessment for devices has been relegated to other professionals, and I have provided therapy to students for the past 20-plus years. This information is vital as I ease back into providing therapy to those of varying needs. The delivery of the information was well-received, and I enjoyed the real-life scenarios.

The conciseness of the slides and the resources provided made this a good course. It seems to be a part of a series of courses. I think that in order for me to be more confident in the implementation of much of what was covered, I would've needed to have access to the other courses referenced in this one.

So many factors! First off the presenter was engaging and had a bright personality. I enjoyed listening to her speak with confidence and love for the students she was working with. I can tell she puts love into her work and these kids are not just a number to her. When her face lit up when her student indicated that the icon was not in her device I gasped too because I know how huge that is! The training itself was incredibly informative and well-organized.

Loved that she chose to share a case study who uses such an array of SGD and modes of communication. I was impressed at all of the coordination and amazed at how empowered this student is by her instruction. Great to hear her reminding us that the vocabulary we help these students build isn't JUST so they can answer questions for comprehension activity, but language to talk ABOUT what she learned. Also the examples of resources shared were excellent.

She shares a variety of resources and examples of intervention strategies. The case study was so very, very interesting, and it made me think of what I need to/could be doing differently... but it was also a little defeating... The degree of on-going assessing/reassessing, planning, and preparation that appears to be happening (& the inner SLP in me would love to be doing) is not entirely realistic for school setting caseloads.
