This was a great course because it highlights the issue of confusing dialect with errors/disorders. It's important to be respectful of dialectal differences and not use these differences to make assumptions about people. I love that this course focused on how to FAIRLY assess someone with a dialectal difference.

This course highlighted the importance of recognizing different does not indicate disability. The topic is universal - faced by all SLPs in public education, and absolutely critical for therapists to understand and to communicate to educators.

I live in a very multicultural region and basics are a challenge. Teaching to specific dialectical difference is not within the scope of what would be remediated. However, this information is important to widen the lens of teaching professionals who may have limited knowledge or experience with different dialects and bi-or trilingual households.

I really enjoyed the subject matter and the presentation of the subject. The presenter is so very knowledgeable in so many areas. I have enjoyed other presentations she has done on speeechpathology.com. Dialect is something that is very important and needs to be understood not just by SLPs in determining if a child does or does not have a speech / language deficit, but this information certainly does need to be shared with general education and special education teachers. Very well done!

Code switching and code meshing are different but related Code switching - the ability to change from one’s primary dialect to the dialect being spoken or written by a group of individuals to come across as sounding similar to those around themCode meshing - “translanguaging” fosters a blending of dialects of English in speaking and writing to embrace a person’s cultural differences and allows them to be themselves

Children of various cultures are placed on IEPs for lang/arti disorders. This appears to indicate many SLP's lack the knowledge required to assess these students accurately. Course such as these need to become mandatory. Great start to defining the diverse cultures within the US. It appears this course places reason for the various culture difference on poverty, not totally a factor, contributing factor perhaps but not the total picture. And there is no mention of Asian American difference, etc.
