This presentation clarified just how formative early life experiences are for children, whether those early experiences have a positive or negative effect. Review of the major parts of the brain were helpful in showing which areas are responsible for executive functioning and language skills. I valued the info on encouraging parent participation, especially those of lower SES... it shows that more typical language outcomes are possible if parents are given the right education and guidance.

This presenter provided extremely valuable information on the impact early trauma (one's considered ACEs) plays in early development and beyond. She was very easy to listen to and follow throughout the entire presentation. This is a presentation I could see myself watching/listening to again just to make sure I recall information correctly.

I was highly disappointed with this course because although it contained good information, and I was able to answer all of the quiz questions correctly after watching it, even the presenter couldn't answer her own questions when asked to clarify in the follow up/Q&A section at the end. For those of us with learning disabilities, it is really helpful when the presenter notes in their slides where the questions are covered so that we're not spending more time figuring out the answers than listenin

Because I know a 21 yr. old male who has had continual stress from the day he was born and I see all of the results in his life; memory difficulties, vocabulary difficulties, does not engage in conversations, lack of emotions, and lack of close emotional relationships, and fear of confrontations with other people, always wanting to please the other person. It's very, very, sad. This course supports and confirms what I have believed about this person. He has so much potential.

This was a great presentation. And I say that even though it was the first time I have not gotten 100% on an exam!! It's funny because I noticed that many of the questions posed to the presenter at the end of the presentation were specifically about the wording of her questions. I can safely assume that many of us were stumped.

Topic is important and gave some information, but I felt she didn’t do enough to say how problematic the 30 million word gap study was. Making note of it’s racial bias, small sample size, the assumptions and projections the researchers made, and the use of deficit-based language is important with how widely it’s been spread and accepted.

I’m a speech therapist in Early intervention. Last year I had a parent say to me “I don’t play with my children because they should just know how to play on their own”. I was very surprised to hear the statement and had to explain how important it was to provide functional language examples to the child in order for them to learn vocabulary. I now can print out the handouts from this course and offer them to parents of the importance/ relationship of emotional and language development.
