Thank you, Kelly, for bringing tonight what I have been experiencing the past 5 plus years once I realized was ineffective. Kids are not robots and what happens in the therapy has to be real!! Kids also have to know you're human and the more you show up in a way thats relatable to them, the better your therapy will be!

Excellent! The information I learned in this course is applicable to my work with preschoolers with a variety of communication and developmental delays. Kelly Vess uses evidenced-based studies to question "traditional" therapy approaches and provides an alternative to teaching language concepts in isolation. I appreciated her emphasis on modifying one activity to meet the needs of nearly all of an SLP's clients, and I enjoyed her enthusiastic presentation style.

I enjoyed listening to the information presented, however, I had some issues with the presenter's style. I found her constant hand movements to be very distracting, even with her pretty French manicure! I don't need the constant visual cues she was providing and at times, I needed to look away and just listen.Also, I was glad she stopped using the term "kiddos." That didn't feel appropriate.

She is such a dynamic, enthusiastic speaker, it was infectious! This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. I always cringe when I see a goal that says, "Will follow multi-step directions". Just this past week, I used same book with my entire caseload (K-4th grade), The Snowy Day, diversifying goals and expectations depending on levels of course, and my sessions have been so much richer.

I appreciated confirmation of what I have been doing for years! I have worked in the schools for 10 years now (after being in private practice) and it never made sense to me to work on individual parts of language. We use narratives daily—to tell the stories/experiences of our lives as well as for literature….it’s always been one of my main goals…I’m so happy you are teaching a new generation of SLPs not to write separate goals…Thank you!

The presenter was engaging! :) She provided great examples of how to implement strategies in therapy. Examples were catered more so to elementary school populations which was helpful, but would've been insightful if there were some tips on how to implement strategies for older populations (e.g., secondary school/middle) too. But overall, was great and had some good takeaways.
