Instructor has very broad and deep knowledge of the subject and presented with excellent organization, clear examples and multiple sources. A very information packed course which taught me a great deal about the perils and possibilities of speech and language evaluations and the impact of the IDEA. Every SLP should take this course!

This course gave me so much to think about in my evaluation and assessment processes! It reinforced information that I already know, but was a good reminder that an assessment is not the determining factor in an evaluation and that WE are the professionals who determine if there is a suspected disability.

I appreciated the two pronged approach of considering eligibility under IDEA. This is information that I can use when collaborating with my special education team when students are brought to our attention. Does the student present with a disability and as a result of that disability does the student have a need specialized instruction. I love the way it was pointed out that an evaluation or determination is not because of THE Test or A test. Moving forward, I will ensure that my evaluation
