What made this course good is how to collect and keep track of functional communication goals using the rubric and checklist which can also provide the SLP with an idea of what can be worked on in the future.

I thought it was helpful but so much of what she was referring to was written down in these small slides and spoken out loud so it took a lot of listening/looking to keep up- But overall great stuff and I will need to go back through again to look at everything and maybe save it for a later time to reference

I always appreciate courses that give you resources that you can implement into your practice. The checklist and rubrics were so clear and easy to understand, yet could be tailored to meet each student’s needs. Love when data collection becomes more simple so it’s easier to focus on the student and the skills vs. getting all the data down.

Another course where the presenter was given an hour to represent information that would have been better understood and applied with two hours to present and explain it. I understand that it's easier for busy professionals to squeeze in an hour here and there, but if you really want to understand something, it's better if the presenter has the time to explain it.

Very informative - we need to get away from discrete "speechie" goals and be more integrated with team members - I would love to do this at our school. We already do backwards design but would love to have a more transdisciplinary approach vs. multidisciplinary approach.

In a perfect we could do every thing she advocates and we wouldn't see leaps in independence on any level. While I do believe many of these students should have more life skills than they have now under common core.....Most schools will not let us write goals this way or even touch on functional skills. I honestly it shouldn't be the SLP in buildings coordinating this......we just have too much to do. Until things change at the next level up meaning more opportunities and more housing nothing

This was a well organized lesson on thinking outside the box for goal writing, especially for our high school students who are mod/severe. It would require buy in from the overall IEP team, and confidence and leadership by the SLP, but it is very useful.
