I liked her solutions and ideas about how to share information with parents and administration. I also like how she emphasized a TEAM effort for determining what is best for the child, and the SLP should not always be the bad guy. The guidelines are put in place by the state and federal government, and we are just trying to stay in compliance and do what is best for the child.

Good information to review. Putting cultural differences and English second language differences aside.....I've been doing this for 40 years. I think we are just seeing more and more kids who are not connecting the dots. They can't pass our speech and language assessments with solidly average scores. Little one are coming in without the underlying skills to read, they don't seem to be exposed to more complex language , their memory skills are not as well developed.

This is a really great topic to discuss. It's important for educators to know the difference between a language difference and a language disorder. This allows the team to accurately assess if the gaps in knowledge are from language differences or impairments.

I found the emphasis on academics interesting. In my state, we interpret educational impact to include social-emotional and interpersonal skills as well as reading, writing and math. In fact, there is an emphasis on teaching social-emotional skills statewide. We also weigh heavily the impact of speech-language disorders on classroom listening and speaking performance as critical for future job and career readiness.

Presenter was engaging. It would be helpful to have concrete applicable examples how to implement dynamic assessments, MTSS interventions, Tier 1 interventions. While the overall ideas make sense, having applicable examples how to implement them is most helpful.

I am able to identify with the speaker! I’m close to retirement from a public school system. We are experiencing an enormous increase of incoming kindergarteners identified as Speech Impaired. Additionally, I’m constantly getting push-back when I explain language differences versus disorders. This course provides an excellent framework for discussions with my directors. THANK YOU!
