There was a lot of good information here, but I wanted more functional therapy techniques and activities. A lot of time was spent on the research and study completed by the presenter when all I really care about is what works and how do incorporate those strategies into therapy. I recommend watching, but the final half hour was less informative/helpful.

A lot of repeat for me. But also, I got distracted by so many "I'll talk about that in a sec" type comments. Finally, I guess I wanted more things I can do in therapy, not a review of her research. That wasn't really helpful to me.

Instructor was easy to watch and engaging. However, I am interested in more reasoning to why not having children look up words in the dictionary first to get the definition and then learn the rest of the way through semantic mapping.

Reading to context then taking the quiz was like night and day. The wording was so opposite and not definite, that it was difficult to know the answers. If you are going to create a quiz, write the questions like you wrote the article. It's not about trickery, it's about learning, and this was just confusing, but that's just my opinion.
