I have been struggling to find answers to why the majority of my language students continue to have difficulty defining or describing vocabulary despite them able to individually state the different features of vocabulary words. This course helped me to understand that I need to change my framework and the way the I prompt, to help my students not memorize but make word meaning stick.

This course was as informative and helpful as part 1! Language used to seem like a chaotic mess of missing skills with no idea where to start. Now it seems structured and manageable. These approaches will be so helpful with my 6th-12th graders. I feel much more confident to teach skills that will close language gaps and carryover across settings and into adulthood vs. teaching a single vocabulary word or sentence structure that only targets a drop in the bucket of language and EF deficits.
by

I like the way it is broken down into types of words with the use of the features thoroughly explained. I saw it through a new lens when thinking from an EF perspective.

Excellent course. I've been using Expanding Expressions Tool for Semantic Feature Analysis, and I loved learning about how to increase my instruction to include verbs and adjectives. Very interesting to think about word retrieval as executive function skills, and the idea that self-talk is needed to learn and retrieve information.

This course really got into the weeds, so to speak, in a profound way. I really like the examples of externalizing using semantic feature analysis (which I too used with adults) in order to increase expressive output. I also liked how Dr. Karen conceptualized the different steps of expression, specifically, using SFA first, alone when asked a question, then organizing in the mind before choosing an answer.

I really appreciated how you applied semantic feature analysis to verbs and adjectives, as well as moving beyond concrete common words as students get older. I also appreciated you sharing how you map out therapy to address and cycle through semantic and syntactic skills, as well as addressing progress reports when working in the school setting. Thank you!

This was one of the best courses I've taken in a while, I finished the syntax course and was so excited for this part 2. I work with clients from early intervention to adulthood, and will be applying this to all ages. I also wonder about applying this similarly to using VNeST, I used both SFA and VNeST with aphasic adults and feel like these strategies could be applied there as well. Thank you!

Her explanations of the complex relationship between language and cognition/executive function are paired with practical and functional therapy techniques. She is an SLP who really understands and makes understandable the "big picture"; she doesn't just focus on discrete skills that never result in long-term change/functional gains. She is brilliant.
