I am loving this series and the way it addresses the importance of narratives as a functional practice in speech pathology. I loved learning about the connection to identity building and assisting a child in helping to internally organize and more fully understand the story of their own lives. This is such a wonderful updated version of the original way I learned to look at narratives which was through the varied models such as macro and micro structure, etc. etc.

I am not sure what I expected from this course, but it definitely didn't work for me. I checked out in the first 5 minutes and never really was able to focus on the lesson. It simply felt like a lot of research with no tools for me to take into sessions.

Very informative and insightful course on why it is important for SLPs to seek the perspective of children. Especially helpful was learning about the pros and cons of narrative inquiry and how it can be best used during the assessment process. Also helpful to learn was about children's well-being and how it can be fostered or decreased if not properly supported.

This topic is fascinating and important. I appreciate the researcher/presenter's emphasis on the humanity of children's stories, and on their right to their stories. I also found the use of qualitative research very interesting and would like to learn more about this aspect. I appreciated the research and bibliography. It is also useful and interesting to hear from researchers who practice outside of the United States.

It was too technical and focused on research. For me knowing the "how" is more important. e.g., How do you elicit a narrative inquiry? What can you do scaffold a child's narratives. Instead, I felt like it was a lot of information but not anything that I can take and use.

Empowers us and makes us accountable for the responsibility we bear to really listen to children's narratives, and points out the potential impact how we listen and respond can have on the identity of our clients/any child.

Dr. Lyons conveyed warmth along with her conviction in the regard of personal narratives + particularly with children + particularly with kids who have challenges with communicating. That contributed to a joy in learning more in-depth about the topics, and curiosity in how this approach may be adapted. Information was clear and specific examples were very relatable. I particularly appreciated re-affirming that speech-language pathologists may contribute to a positive talking identity with strengths-based approaches.

It offers current research for the rationale why SLPs need to include personal narrative in treatment. I have included personal narratives in therapy for almost two decades. Now there is formal data to support what I have observed in treatment - it can promote positive self-identity, wellbeing, and offers hope.
