The motor-planning aspect of up, down, and slide movements are going to be beneficial to teaching the /r/ sound in a new way in my daily practice.” M.B. (Jan 2021)

"The content of this course is not something I encounter on a daily basis, however, it is something to consider and to be aware of.

"The entire course was very helpful. This gave me a structure of how to educate my co-workers about gestalt language and how to describe this best to families. The course will definitely help me with better goal writing and focusing more on mitigation and stage 3, when the kids are ready. The grammar section was great - I had no idea that you can introduce verbs too early, and this will be the biggest shift in my practice." E.K. (July  2022)

"Extremely detailed and informative. I liked all of the content." D.T. (July 2022)

"This course was enriching and inspiring." R.S. (July 2022)

"Oh my goodness. ALL of it. I wish that I had this all ten years ago. I knew the term gestalt and that some kids learned language as "wholes" but I never knew what to do with that information.

"I liked learning about the differences between gestalt and analytic language processors as well as employing more appropriate language strategies for gestalt language processors." S.L. (May 2022)

"I liked both the specific 'how to' of scoring the NLA and DSS, and also the more general perspective of respecting gestalt processors. The guest speakers helped break up the course." G.H. (May 2022)

"I liked the real life examples – seeing it in action is so much more beneficial than hearing what to do." K.M. (May 2022)

"I am astonished that I have been practicing for almost 25 years with this population and knew nothing about NLA. I liked Marge's easy, loving, joyful, sensory-filled approach to therapy. I began in a rehab center collaborating with OTs and PTs and have felt that it was right for my kids. I did not always get a lot of support even when that positive results were evident. Now, I have the validation and immediately added a trampoline and BIG JOE pillow to my not very big, but very fun playroom." K.K. (May 2022)

"I liked all of it, especially the information on moving into stage 3 and the grammar section with the DSS and DST." C.K. (May 2022)

"I liked the video examples and parent stories." H.J. (Apr. 2022)

"Enlightenment onto the importance of echolalia as acceptable, part of a child's development, and how vital they are for "connecting" to others.

"I loved all of it! Especially the grammar section." J.S. (Mar. 2022)

"I currently have a student who needs to begin to move from Level 2 to Level 3. This course was very helpful in helping me plan my therapy. I liked the content because it addressed treatment and gave many examples of techniques being used. I also liked that it was recorded and that I could work at my own pace." M.C. (Mar. 2022)

"I liked how to model gestalts that can be easily mitigated to move a child from stage 1 to stage 2." K.P. (Feb. 2022)

"I appreciated the deep dives into various specific cases to see different ways GLPs can sound and different ways NLA approaches can be implemented. I love REALLY picking apart language development, and this course went full speech nerd with me."  S.L. (Feb. 2022)

"I liked all of it – real life examples. It was perfect!." D.B. (Feb. 2022)

"There was soooo much in this course that will impact my practice. I am re-visiting the way I write goals for my gestalt processors and trying to follow the NLA skill progressions. It's amazing how much more engaged children are when I follow their lead and don't force artificial/unreasonable expectations (e.g., all the sentence strips).  I appreciated the video examples and the parent input." D.M. (Jan. 2022)

"Level 3 of the NLA courses is a must for every SLP working with children who are gestalt language processors. Levels 1 and 2 allowed us to learn the NLA stages and guiding treatment principles. In this Level 3 course we learn how to individualize NLA intervention for specific clients with a host of differences, how and why to incorporate movement, and the power of grammar. Marge eloquently guides this course as we learn to tailor NLA intervention to meet the needs of real children and their families within meaningful and engaging contexts, ultimately fostering sincere and organic expression." C.H.

"With the background of knowing about NLA assessment and stages, the level three course gave me an understanding of how to incorporate this knowledge into treatment. I am able to set up an affirming environment for reciprocal, self-generated language without relying on frustrating techniques such as withholding items." E.F.

"Marge Blanc does it again! This course is a phenomenal in-depth deep-dive into all the areas the first two courses left you wondering about. We can truly wrap our heads around Stages 3 and 4, and it all makes so much sense! The case studies are incredible, and really help solidify and put into action all that Marge teaches. Every single pediatric SLP needs this information. It really should be required coursework in graduate school." A.Z.

"Importance of learning about the speech mechanism and ways to teach that, methods for teaching making changes to tension and timing, and the importance of addressing bullying before it is ever a problem if possible."  T.T. (Aug. 2022)

"All of it! Loved the in-depth discussions on timing and tension, desensitization, and bullying. Excellent, practical information that truly makes sense.  I loved the practical, up-to-date advice and activities. Having left graduate school nearly 30 years, ago, I really needed this course to reinforce current thinking and methodologies on stuttering."  B.J. (Aug. 2022)

"I needed to hear Scott Yaruss say how important teaching the student to understand what parts of his body feels tension and learn to recognize where the tension is. I like that Scott recommended spending a lot of time on this foundation teaching about the speech machine and learning to notice tension. I also like that the goal in therapy is not to speak fluently, but to speak more easily. Excellent information.  The very specific examples provided and discussed were exceptionally informative and I liked seeing the information that was written with objectives and goals displayed. Im a visual learner. Thank you for this excellent information. I wish I could download the entire list of goals and activities."  L.B. (Aug. 2022)

"Very knowledgeable presenter with a wealth of practical strategies and insights."  P.A. (Aug. 2022)

"The acceptance by teachers and parents and the idea that we should not think of achieving fluency, just speaking more easily.  Dr. Yaruss was excellent, both in his knowledge of the topic and his presentation of the information. He was very organized and the presentation was easy to follow."  M.C. (July 2022)

"Excellent presentation. So many things I thought were true based on old information from our field were clearly now false! I learned so much, and I look forward to visiting Stuttering Therapy Resources.  Organized presentation, gave example goals and techniques. Presented the WHY'S to his suggestions and was detailed in a way that I can immediately put his suggestions to use in my practice. Thank you so much!"  J.B. (July 2022)

"The presenter was clear and concise."  K.N. (July 2022)

"The specific goal examples were helpful, and having specific and practical information about activities to do with a student who stutters was so clear and will be easy to implement in my therapy practices. Scott is so practical, organized, engaging, and thorough in his presentations. He is easy to listen to and I never look at the clock and think when is the course going to be over!"  C.H. (July 2022)

"Building individual hierarchies with the students was beneficial for my practice. Material was covered well."  S.S. (July 2022)

"I liked the activities and information, and the 'how' and 'why' to use them. All activities were discussed in depth." J.M. (June 2022)

"This was such an excellent presentation on stuttering!! Take this course, and you will learn so many things that you can use as a school-based SLP!" G.J. (May 2022)

"The flow and format is excellent!"  H.T. (July 2022)

"I liked going through the different core competencies and teaching of strategies. I liked the strategies to promote optimistic thinking in children." L.G. (June 2022)

"I liked EVERYTHING! Everyone needs this course! Very practical information." L.A. (Mar. 2022)

"I liked the practical nature of helping a child build these skills while simultaneously building up language." S.B. (Feb. 2022)

"I like that these skills can be learned. This is empowering to children." S.J. (Feb. 2022)

"The idea of looking at mistakes as opportunities to learn as well as helping kids walk through the steps of figuring out solutions. We can talk through cool thoughts and hot thoughts to build impulse control by helping kids build their awareness." S.B. (Feb. 2022)

"Take this course! As a school based SLP for over 30 years, this is one of the most relevant and practical courses I have taken. You can apply this information to ALL of your students!" G.J. (Dec. 2021)

"Explaining growth mindset and how it affects children’s view in learning. Also, how important descriptive praise is and the outcomes it has on children.  Easy to follow and I could complete it on my own schedule."  C.T. (Aug. 2022)

"The use of language to reinforce the idea that mistakes are an important part of the learning process was beneficial to my practice.  Tthe approach was friendly and not so technical that i couldn't absorb it. Lots of examples to reinforce course objectives."  A.H. (July 2022)

"I often work on problem solving with students, so I found a lot of the information helpful for solving social problems as well as ways to target negative thoughts and teaching students how emotional regulation helps them learn more easily." K.C. (Apr. 2022)

"This course is so timely and relevant to meeting the needs of today's youth, particularly after all the time spent in eLearning these past couple of years. I appreciate the specific examples given throughout the presentation, as growth mindset feedback is so different than what many of us automatically use." R.G. (Jan. 2022)

"The course gave practical ways to manage children's behaviors and understand their feelings." J.D. (Apr. 2022)

"The examples of the denial of feelings were very specific and effective, as well as the section containing "negative behavior has a message". I think this is very important to consider especially in our roles as SLPs and during sessions when we are trying to manage behavior. The presenter was obviously very knowledgeable and extremely passionate about the topic, and it showed in her presentation! She was able to easily give examples and she was an engaging presenter. I thought the presentation was easy to follow, nonjudgmental, and effective." D.L. (Apr. 2022)

I think that some issues that we frequently address on the floor (e.g., carrying out the SLP recommendations by staff members etc.) could be assisted by an ethics committee review so that it becomes an institutional discussion rather than a tug of war on the floor."  L.M. (Dec. 2021)

The most interesting part that I learned was about the sense of taste and how bitter is sensed at the back of the tongue near the throat, and that poisons have a bitter taste. So it is as if we were innately made to safeguard against swallowing unsafe things like poison by reacting to the bitter taste and then gagging or spitting it out. So amazing!  My daughters and husband seem to easily gag on certain food textures, but I don't have that problem, so I never really knew why.

"Collaboration is essential! Inspiring parents to take an active role in nurturing and improving their child's speech and language skills was what stood out to me. Having these practical strategies is wonderful and will be fully used. Also, standing out to me was explaining to parents the link between language and learning. This would be wonderful to include in parent training classes as well.  Obviously the practical ideas/calendars, but also the inspiration to present to parents these ideas and how they can be quick and part of their daily activities. I would like to be able to provide parents with models of how to do the varied techniques we use, such as expanding, commenting, etc." C.C. (Jul. 2021)

Working in a school setting with intensive structured learning environments and ABA therapy being the trend, this course was extremely relevant as to why we need to move away from the prompted and structured discreet trial methods and focus on the social skills that will allow the child to think and process what he/she is taking in from the room.

It was reinforcing to the SLP and the efforts being made to provide services in a challenging time." A.H. (Dec. 2021)

"I found the idea of all the missed opportunities kids experience when they are distracted by a device rather than tuned into the language and interaction all around them fascinating. Additionally the idea that so many of their learning experiences are 2 dimensional when they spend so much time on educational video games and screen time rather than manipulating and interacting with real objects is also so interesting....and disturbing. I was pleased to see so many suggestions about how to discuss screen time with families.

“I like integrating JARs to every component and the little tweaks you can do along the way with your clients, depending on their level/learning style. Very helpful, actionable and realistic to help you plan goals/intervention for our young ASD clients, who struggle so much with attention and focus to tasks.” K.J. (Sept. 2021)

"I love how applicable this protocol seems like it will be. I liked how very clearly outlined it was." S.H. (Aug. 2021)

"Very helping in delivering therapy. I liked that there wasn't too much emphasis on theory and things that won't help right away in therapy. Very good & interesting course." G.S. (Aug. 2021)

"It was very logically presented. The first 3 topics were especially helpful." L.S. (June 2021)

"Going over when to prompt and when to lay back on prompting not being so verbal was most beneficial. I liked the course's practicality with young learners." B.C. (May 2021)

"The entire presentation was stellar, but the comments about not doing the same thing in same way twice definitely hit home." S.M. (Mar. 2021)

"I liked the clear explanations of strategies, why they work, and how to discuss with parents the value of a natural developmental style and explain how early steps will eventually lead to the desired learning outcomes." M.F. (Feb. 2021)

"I loved the example on how to implement learning style profile in therapy." J.C. (Feb. 2021)

"The workshop discussing how to implement the Learning Style Profile was helpful. I liked the practicalness of the information."  C.S. (Jan. 2021)

"It was helpful to have each LSP component broken down and therapy ideas integrated into each goal/priority. The instructor is very engaging!" K.B. (Jan. 2021)
