"The idea of a collaboration with teachers using a self-reflective practice. The rate the information was presented made it easy to understand the presenters intent throughout the presentation." K.A. (Jan. 2025)

"This presenter was so encouraging. I think as SLPs, we are very aware of our word selection and nonverbal cues and rate of speech and inflection...all the things we try to moderate when we know that we have a potentially unwelcomed conversation to be had. I think that she gave incredibly valuable and pertinent advice for talking with teachers and helping them to believe that they can come on board! I thought it was quite apropos to notice how well she moderates her rate of speech only to have her talk about the importance of rate of speech, haha. In my experience, observing a teacher's classroom can be very intimidating. I know what I know but often get overwhelmed by the number of variables. I look forward to utilizing such a comprehensive list of observations to maintain my own focus--and this well-organized information lends itself to comfortable and productive communication with teachers." A.M. (Dec. 2024)
