I loved the reframing of communication challenges into such a positive light and that a core component of the program is self efficacy for the adolescents for where they are now and where they dream to be in the future.

The presenters were passionate about the LEAP program and it showed! It made me more excited to be working as an SLP with junior high and high school students! I get a lot of feedback from educators/other stating I should just "dismiss" students; but I agree that we as educators/related service providers should be helping these students become adults in society. I have printed all of the handouts and look forward to implementing these skills with my students - thank you for this information!

I appreciated the breakdown of registers and I can apply that to the high schoolers I work with each day. Much of the presentation was data and goals and only a little was dedicated to applying these to students. I do not like that the program costs and is not accessible to most schools.

I work with middle school students with special needs. I appreciated a course that was directly for this age group. I liked the terminology used: academic/business English. I really feel that this terminology used with students will encourage them to aim for success. I liked the clearly defined speech goals presented in a chart format. I specifically liked the intonation practice activity "My Sister Has Red Hair!" I can see the students having a lot of fun with this in the classroom.

It was interesting to learn about LEAP and goals and the impact of the program. However, the content was a bit jumbled and dense with academic jargon that made parts of it difficult to understand. I feel as though the course could have been presented more clearly and more succinctly. Overall, the information gave me insight on the importance of strong communication skills in older children.

Programs pointing toward transition of students to higher education and the workforce can be limited when it comes to the importance of communication skills as a tool in the transition. The presenters gave a variety of examples, rubrics, and video references that can be used to add to these programs with the help of the speech/language pathologist to build skills with both non-language and language impaired students.

The information was helpful and applicable to the middle school and high school students on my caseload.

I also like the term "register", as well as the breaking down communication into it's components and defining them so that students understand what successful communication entails.
