I as a retired SLP with Bil. Spanish extension have been working with children with Bilingual Speech and Language Disorders, impairments, and delays since 1989. First, as a Bilingual Special Education Teacher, then as a TSHH, and finally as a certified SLP. As an evaluator, my co-workers commented that I did not know what I was doing and I argued that I didn't need a test to determine a disability. This course reassured me that I didn't need the test and test results to determine a disability

The presenter was very clear and very knowledgeable about the topic. I had a lot of "ahh" moments during the course. Despite practicing for some time, this is very good information to learn. It gave me way more insight into testing. I also feel like I have language to use with colleagues and administrators to back my professional opinion.

This is a really good refresher for anyone who's been out of grad school for a longer amount of time and needs a tune-up on what terms like specificity mean, as well as a reminder of why we don't just use standardized assessments.

Angie Neal, M.S., CCC-SLP, is an excellent speaker and presenter. Her presentations are well-organized in both the written information on the slides as well as her verbal explanations of the material on Standardized Assessment Limitations. This presentation is thought-provoking and would be very beneficial for all SLPs to read and review due to the fact that we, as professionals, rely heavily on standardized assessments in so many of our treatment settings. Really looking forward to Part 2!

The instructions were clear and Angie Neal made distinctions with ideas that frequently get confused or are misunderstood in the law. She clarified confusing terms and explained the importance of terms that most people gloss over. She also advised taking a hard look at the assessments we currently use to make sure we are measuring what we want to measure (without giving us the answers for each test- she wanted each person to take ownership of what they are using to evaluate a student).

I've seen other presentations by Angie Neal, and she is consistently clear, concise, and accessible. She presents information in a very functional way, and, in this presentation, she breaks down the complexities of IDEA into easily understood terms that I can use immediately with teachers and administrators. I recommended this program to several colleagues before it was even over.

The information stressed how critical it is for multiple aspects of the referral and evaluation process to be followed with adherence to federal guidelines and best practices. The information was not new to me, but detailed enough to make a point of reinforcing how critical it is to include mutliple factors for evaluation and what needs to be considered when selecting specific instruments for testing. Great content.
