"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. The course was easy to follow and I can readily see how it relates to the children and families I interact with. I also appreciated the resources mentioned throughout the course." A.K. (Aug. 2021)

It is helpful to know that the supervisor can fade out his/her role of providing hands on information and modeling and allow the supervisee to mature into the role of presenting information and doing more hands on with his/her client as the supervisee grows and/or develops his/her skills. I liked how each section had a time when we were able to stop and act out what we learned from the modules." A.M. (Aug. 2023)

"I enjoyed hearing about how different ways of interaction with the supervisee can be affected based on personality types. It was also helpful to see different things that could be done with a supervisee in order to help them begin to become independent and see themselves as more of a colleague than a student.  I liked that it was broken down into different modules."
