The tables made it easier to understand the points the speaker had talked about, especially for MEL. The video examples are also appreciated because it offers a simulation of a real-life example of Dynamic Assessment in action.

The speaker described the importance of dynamic assessment and how to make modifications to incorporate this into speech and language assessment, so that we can accurately assess a bilingual child’s learning potential. Cultural sensitivity was discussed and Mediated Learning Experience (MLE) was described as a model for developing appropriate speech/language goals.

Overall, this course had a lot of great reminders about the importance of looking at the whole child beyond just what can be identified through standardized testing.. I loved the parts about the interview of the family because so often this is missed, yet so important. I will be working with my SLP teams to make sure we are improving our assessment practices.

The presenter misspoke several times throughout the course, making it difficult to follow. There are many SLPs with greater knowledge on this topic - a bilingual SLP would provide more insight into the topic. The speaker's examples were all using students who primarily speak English. It would be nice to have seen how she used an interpreter to conduct the assessment. The course did not provide any additional information to what I have found in other locations/presentations.

This was somewhat of a review for me since I have done DA and MLE through ASHA's website. This course introduced and summarized most of that material from ASHA's Dynamic Assessment page. This course would have been more helpful to me prior to reviewing the ASHA material and I would recommend it for others before diving into the ASHA page on MLE and DA.

by
Susan

The presenter made several "flubs" that she later corrected making it difficult to follow. Some thing just didn't make since; for example a 3 year old in kindergarten (did she mean preschool?). Also why would the boy from Mexico (second video) have Hebrew as a second language. Why use an actor, not a true speech/language impaired student to demonstrate MLE. Overall I did not benefit this course or enjoy watching the presenter.

I thought the course was geared toward assessing bilingual learners, but both of the examples were actually English speakers. The material was better explained in the handout than in the actual presentation. The language/information used with the 3 year old was so above her level and she was obviously not engaged, it was a strange example to show on a training. Same information could have been presented to her in a more appropriate way, and benefitted the learners here.

The presenter talked about relevant topics in my field when working with bilingual students. I think it is very important to use dynamic assessments for students who come from a different background and are bilingual. These assessments are another way to identify differences vs disorder.
