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.

The case studies did not seem to link to considerations about linguistic diversity at all. In the 2nd case study, conclusions written on the slide did not match what the presenter said aloud (slide suggested that cause & effect WOULD be an appropriate target for therapy; presenter said student probably wouldn't need to target cause & effect bc he did so well in the MLE). It also would have helped clarity-wise if she would have explained what she meant by "modifiability" and "response."

Assessment of non-English-speaking children is such an important topic. How to gather relevant information to determine delay / disorder using cultural sensitivity and lack of bias within a specific framework was really good information. Standardized testing w/o this type of information gathering does not give sufficient information about whether or not a child/client needs therapy or what their potential for learning is.

I appreciated the instructor's instructions of how to use a mediated learning experience within a Dynamic Assessment and the examples she used to demonstrate this. I would have liked to have observed an example of a MLE with a multi-language learner, as the video examples shown were for English-speaking students.

At times it was difficult to listen to the presenter as she seemed disorganized, maybe just nervous.

The idea behind the presentation was good and I will look into the core points in other resourses.

Sharon is very knowledgeable & experienced in DA, explained the MLE process well. Some of Sharon's specific points were very helpful,e.g., choosing very specific target for MLE, explaining to student the components of the MLE process. I hoped for more explanation re: use of interpreters, how when to expect child to or for clinician(s) to use their other languages.Short course can't cover everything! Thank you!(another Q: what to do if you realize during MLE that the target was too low/high?)

Choosing target to remediate based on modifiability ' Also ethnolinquistic evaluations associated with bilinqual assessment is very interesting (understanding linguistic, cultural, and environmental variables) that might impact language usage.
