I love the work of Dr. Karen Dudek-Brannan. This is an excellent review if you have done any of her courses, or a good introduction if you have not. I think she has an excellent framework for working with students. I am continually trying to improve my therapy sessions with her ideas. My only suggestion is that I would love more concrete examples of how to integrate her framework into therapy for elementary kids who need more play-based therapy. How do I make working on these skills fun?

This is very interesting but very complex and difficult to actually apply to my work with elementary school-aged students. I'm not sure how I would realistically teach sentence construction and vocabulary types without using higher level language to explain it. Most students don't know the most basic form of a sentence.

I liked the information, but I wish there was more information on how this looks in therapy. I know there was some mention about how it works with preschool at the end of the presentation but I just can't visualize how to execute this in therapy. It would also be helpful to know the age range you're mostly thinking about with these sentence types. Overall, I love this angle in tackling executive functioning.

I found the comparison and integration of syntax and executive function very interesting, specifically showing how sentence types and working on them impact a child's metacognition (e.g. the connection between syntax and making mental images and how we use them in so many ways). I loved that the instructor gave lots of examples and suggestions for how to apply these important skills to the actual tasks in therapy.
