"The discussion on minimizing errors helped with bringing awareness to our common mistakes and practices. I appreciated the way that the course was split up and that we were not overloaded with information on each slide." E.A. (Aug. 2024)

"I didn't even know the term heuristics! The decision making process (particularly the journal concept and retroactive review) were great suggestions. George has a way with words! Bullets before cannonballs, bad results don't equal bad decisions, etc. When I used to teach, I said, "these are patients, not widgets!" Very thorough information tied directly to patient care and outcomes. Appreciate the colored and interactive PowerPoint." M.C. (Aug. 2024)

"I liked everything about this course." J.S. (Jul. 2024)

"I liked the decision journal information. A clear plan and thorough discussion." L.C. (Jul. 2024)

"The decision-making tree was beneficial. The course was short, and I liked the case study." E.B. (Jul. 2024)

"I was shocked to learn about how many cognitive biases/heuristics there are that can impact my decision-making process. I liked learning about those, because once I can identify the problem with my own decision-making, I can move forward with improving my skill set. I liked the case study." G.R. (Jun. 2024)

"All the information was helpful. Well-spoken, personable, and knowledgeable presenter, good examples, nice slides." L.L. (Jun. 2024)

"Discussing the 6 steps was beneficial. I liked the flow of the course." A.H. (Jun. 2024)

"The review, coach, teach, and model were beneficial, as well as the plan and question framework to structure video feedback sessions. I liked the real examples of babies babbling at the different stages, role play of session structure, opportunity to think about my own coaching practice and plans, and the real recordings of a BBC session at each stage." G.T. (Oct. 2024)

"I loved the style of this course. It flowed well together and kept me engaged because of its structure. It was nice that each stage was its own video. I really liked having commentators during the video examples." B.S. (Oct. 2024)

"I really liked the structure of the 5 step model. I also found the topics covered in components 1-3 really interesting as we rarely get to focus on these early skills as children are referred later. I loved all of it. The content and references were great. The video examples, getting the chance to see clinicians working with families, observing clinicians role playing sessions and then getting a chance to then try that out for myself were really helpful. Recording myself doing that was a great way to prepare for using the programme with families. “What amazing things is baby doing?” is such a simple way to open up the session and it made me really focus in such a detailed way and it will help parents see how sophisticated their own baby’s communication is. It’s so helpful to have ongoing access to the resources. I will revisit them a lot." Y.M. (Oct. 2024)

"How to build upon the babies vocalizations and babbling was helpful to discuss. I enjoyed having the videos of the babies and the examples of what was happening and the next steps for therapy." D.A. (Sep. 2024)

"I found the examples and review questions at the end very helpful in picking out key points of each presentation. I enjoyed the real-life examples, the recording of the speakers talking and not just looking at slides, and the self-review at the end of each presentation. I found each section being separated into a different topic was helpful to go back and find a specific topic. I enjoyed the videos as always, as I am a visual learner." J.S. (Sep. 2024)

"I appreciated the kind and respectful approach to parents. By commenting, praising, coaching and modeling, you're setting the parents up for success. Just telling them to model for their child isn't enough. I appreciated the more detailed levels of babbling. Great, real-life illustrations of what the presenter was teaching." L.S. (Sep. 2024)

"Session outline with concrete steps was helpful. I liked the examples of how to talk to parents." R.A. (Sep. 2024)

"The parent-child interactions to support early speech-language skills were beneficial. The review of development stages of babbling was a great refresher. It's amazing to know that such early language is predictive of later vocabulary expression! I can use this in my practice and with my own child!" K.D. (Sep. 2024)

"I work with toddlers so this is a great fast paced CEU to remind me how to teach and model more efficiently. The sections went by quickly, and the content was engaging." A.E. (Aug. 2024)

"The discussion on babbling was beneficial. I liked that you can slow down and go back to review." T.A. (Aug. 2024)

"I am so excited to use this parent coaching model in my practice! I found watching the videos and comparing my own analysis with that of the other professionals quite helpful and also reassuring! The modules are easy to digest and the layout lends to natural places to stop and restart." L.M. (Aug. 2024)

"Good speakers. A lot of examples and practice. Great handouts and videos." E.J. (Jul. 2024)

"The 5 steps of the BBC will be very helpful in my daily practice as an Early Intervention Speech Language Pathologist. I liked the videos. I liked observing them to see what the child and parent were doing, that was amazing. I also liked the videos where the Speech Language Pathologists demonstrated the 5 steps." L.M. (Jul. 2024)

"Great course with helpful information! I loved how this approach takes a parent-focused approach. It is clear that there is a heavy emphasis on parent coaching, modeling and planning together with caregivers in BBC. Parents are an essential and important part of the therapeutic process when working with young children, so glad to see that you are making this a priority in your approach!" R.I. (Jul. 2024)

"You created a simple, yet effective sequence with space for us therapists to use our own clinical judgment and experiences during those parent coaching conversations and therapy planning." R.I. (Jul. 2024)

"I love the interactive nature of this material. The questions along the way are very helpful. The content of the training is excellent. Dr. Peter, Dr. Potter, and the rest of their team have done an amazing job with this research and then making it so that SLPs can implement this EBP as soon as possible. This will be an excellent use of the learner's time to receive CEUs. I am grateful to the hard work and many hours that went into this BBC training." A.M. (Jul. 2024)

"The videos of the actual BBC sessions were helpful, as were the periodic knowledge check-ins." E.H. (Jul. 2024)

"How Modern technology aids in communication, and acceptance of AAC systems were beneficial topics. I enjoyed the flow of delivery and the relevance of how I can apply course to my population." D.L. (Oct. 2024)

"The use of assistive technology for all students. This includes students who are verbal, but may exhibit disabilities in other areas or are hesitant to speak in front of others. I really enjoyed the interview with the parent and her experiences with her son using AAC." L.S. (Sep. 2024)

"Discussing different methods to assess a person for AAC was helpful. I liked the learning objectives." T.J. (Sep. 2024)

"I liked the discussion that "AAC is not done in isolation". Very concise, easy to follow course." H.H. (Jul. 2024)

"The discussion that there are all different kinds of children, teens, adults who would benefit from AAC, and that work with AAC needs to start early and it can be either low tech or high tech or a combination of both. You want to use what works best for the client and that is going to be the most beneficial. Discovering that it's not just speech-impaired clients that benefit from AAC. It can be used in a variety of other situations. It is so so important to use to help a client find their voice so that they can functionally communicate." B.L. (Jul. 2024)
