I thought this course was very interesting and gave good examples of what to look for in each stage. She also explained how this would look in a therapy session. That is very helpful for me. I liked the concept of self talk and self dialogue. I do see this working for my students and am excited to try it out.

Wow, what a great course! It could be uses as a refresher to vocabulary therapy or as a where-to-start, so great for clinicians of all experience levels. I also felt that Dr. Karen pointed out some goals that I've used that aren't setting my students up for success - erm, "wh" questions, and why I haven't always felt successful with them, particularly with my kindergartens. This course is one I may even rewatch.

I could not find Part 1 of this two part course and I suspect I would have been 'on the bandwagon' alot sooner had I been able to watch Part 1 first. I thought she should have had a better system of presentation to show us Most Defining Aspect of Semantics/Syntax per Nouns or Verbs and explained that aspect more thoroughly; this is something critical information imo to understand before the further depth skills would be introduced. I will follow through with reading some of the references.

I enjoyed the semantic analysis charts for different parts of speech, and the framework for defining words. I did feel that the practical information was offered only on the second half of the course. I would have liked to have seen a lesson plan or a videotaped therapy session modeling vocabulary instruction.

Great information. Very informative, clear and helpful information. Although I enjoyed the session very much, I felt like the presenter (although clearly knowledgable) packed too much info into the talk (i.e., the discussion/interaction related executive functioning could easily be a session on its own), it was too narrowly defined here, which made the interaction with language development hard to follow,

Helped explain the rationale for therapy practices I already use (because they have been successful) and added depth of knowledge for why these strategies have supported growth in language skills. Because the course connected these different activities to the "how" and "why" we use them, and by connecting them to overarching executive functioning skills, this course will help make my treatment planning and implementation more efficient. .
