The content is vital for any of us working in the schools. I feel that I need to watch the whole thing again, though, to better grasp. The challenges we have to be responsible to IDEA, state education codes/laws, to parents, and to our students is so heavy and feels impossible to reconcile when IDEA and state education codes don't line up. All of that with the constant "threat" of having to be prepared to defend ourselves is so stressful. Feels like another full time job is needed to study tests

The area of evaluation is always tricky for a school based therapist. In most situations my district still used the 1.5 standard deviations in order to qualify a student. We as school based SLPs need also remember to gather all of the data including functional, developmental and academic information and include this information in our evaluation. We need to use a variety of tools not just a variety of tests. Sometimes given time constraints we can forget that and want to just rely on assessments

This course clearly defined the requirements for IDEA. It is good to get a refresher in the process of assessment for special education services and this course did that very clearly. I am looking forward to taking the second part of this course. I can more confidently select testing methods and confidently explain the rational for choosing the testing materials and methods. It was important for me as I am considering working in special education again after years working with adults. Thank you

I’ve learned not to drink coffee while watching Anjie since I end up spit-laughing so much. The test that shall not be named is the CELF-V. I thought V=5, but apparently it stands for Voldemort. Then again, the PLS-V has similar issues. Im just gonna say CELF Voldemort and PLS Voldemort from now on.

This coursework really drove home the concept that one assessment does not equal an evaluation and should not be used alone. It also discussed that there can be a disability but if there is not an educational impact then the individual would not need services.

Love the review, the emphasis on law and things to think about, the cut-score information...lots of things I haven't thought about in ages that I will now go back and check within the tests I use so often. Affirming in many ways, provoking in others. Can't wait for Part 2!
