A great presenter with important information. I loved the videos and discussions. Having taught "Social Thinking" for a large part of my practice, I am so happy to learn about the change in approach to the neurodivergent population. Though many of my clients have gone on in life with successful careers, I am sorry for any harm I may have caused them emotionally!!

Dr. Fernald instructs with the highest level of expertise and uses great videos to provide real-life examples. By far, my favorite part of the Fernald courses is her humility. There are often times when I dread continuing education because I am made to feel guilt or shame about ways I have practiced in my 25+ years in this field. However, Dr. Fernald readily admits, "Hey, I've done this in the past, too." She makes me thankful to learn and grow rather than feel like I am scolded. Thank you!

The video examples were helpful as well as reflection of what worked and what could have been done differently. I also appreciated the emphasis that the goals shouldn't be centered on making the child/student 'normal' like everyone else. I liked the fact that Joleen was open and honest about owning when the approach taken might not have been the best for each situation.

This instructor was authentic and provided real life hard examples of how to apply the information discussed in this course. The video examples made me feel seen and heard. The instructor's ability to both identify, show and constructively criticize each of the different scenarios was extremely valuable. I would like to extend my appreciation to the instructor for providing a course that truly acknowledges the complexity of situations we encounter in our profession.

I appreciated that there were real life videos associated with the topic material being covered. It was also nice to see and hear reflections about those videos for things that went well vs. things that could be improved upon. I think frequently, when videos are shared for training purposes, presenters often share "perfect" videos/examples, or those that are contrived, that make it feel difficult to imagine implementation in true settings.

I thought the first portion of the presentation was more relevant to SLP. The video examples were helpful but the discussion seemed to be more based on supporting regulation and not necessarily in a therapeutic sense. I also think it would have been helpful to see video examples in an integrated school or an environment that had a self contained classroom because many SLPs don’t have access to some of the sensory rooms in the videos but have similar behaviors.

As a therapist, it has been incredibly important to shift directions from how we used to provide therapy to a more ND-affirming approach. The material covered in this course helped with new terminology and gave examples of how to plan more positive, understanding, and strength-based sessions with the students I work with.
