Many times, as SLPs, our goals for syntax and grammar go hand-in-hand. This article, however, stayed true to the title and gave very clear and concise information on the SYNTACTICAL aspects and expectations of our students. It allowed me to look more closely at specific criteria to include with these types of goals.

Good examples, but perhaps the emphasis should have been on targeting the weaknesses of a student's written work. We need to focus on one or two items since therapy sessions are short and infrequent.

The presenter had a VERY dry style of presentation. I would have liked to see real-world examples of therapy in action. I would have liked to have seen examples of how to collaborate with gen. ed. and special ed. teachers to work on middle and high schoolers classwork.

This topic is not widely discussed and I suspect that many of us are not confident in teaching written language skills.
by

It was very basic- these are all things we would have learned in grad school. I was hoping for some meaningful activities rather than just a review of the type of areas that could be targeted. Overall it didn't teach me anything new, but the presenter did a good job with the material she was teaching.
by

I thought this course gave me some things to consider while working with writing and maybe different levels to think about while working with students. However, I felt like there wasn’t as much practical tips for intervention as to how this would look in an actual therapy session.
by
Member

I wish there was more time spent on the actual intervention. Overall it had some good information that I will be able to start putting into practice, but I feel like it just skimmed the surface.

It reconfirmed that what I have been doing is on target but it also provides information that I might be able to share with teachers, to get them to become more aware of the complex higher level language processes that are involved with writing. I think they were especially benefit from hearing how most children have trouble with written language and even more so if they have a language disability.

Peronally I would have liked many more examples. Also I didn't understand WHy one would parse sentences. That did not seem to contribute to the goal of increasing complexity of written language, etc.
