We definitely need more courses like this! So often "subtle" cognitive-communication deficits have massive impacts on mental health and success in the "real world". This was a great introduction to different ways to catch those skill challenges outside of using less-sensitive and less-ecologically-valid standardized assessment.

This was a tough-go as their where no quiz cues in the PDF. I failed the 1st question, because she was not crystal clear about every category being at the "highest" risk. Having worked in a TBI setting for 5 years, 20=25 year old males were pretty much the profile. I am not saying that I am better than the instructor, but when you work the field and you are told differently from what you learned....that's difficult. However, every school speech path should take this course.

As the presenter stated this is a huge area that is underserved and education is critical. However "changing" how things get done is also a challenge. This course was excellent, because it helped me identify with other SLPs and we aren't on an island alone in this.

I left this presentation with a lot of unanswered questions. 50ish minutes was not enough time to make good on the promise of learning how to conduct an assessment for a student with a TBI. I also felt that the presenter made assumptions about the public school setting that weren't accurate.
