What SLPs are saying about this course

Clinicians leave this course feeling more confident and competent in their skills evaluating and treating CAS

I learned a lot!

Overall, I learned a lot from this course that I have already started to implement. I think the length and time demand of the course was good. The amount of information presented each week was manageable, and the class moved at a good pace.

Erika Liechty

This course was amazing

This course was amazing and should be offered when in college. I was able to see the things that I was too focused on and the areas that I should pay attention to more (e.g., prosody, voicing, and resonance. It was a great course.

Maria Alarcon

Really great course!

Really great course! Mike was an amazing instructor, I appreciated his candor and down-to-earthness. It really made the subject material easy to digest and normalized the feeling of overwhelmedness. I also really appreciated his input as we practiced analyzing samples and examples. Finally, I really really appreciated the handouts provided! It's super helpful to be able to save some stuff for later reading and use.

I feel confident

I learned so much! I felt confident with diagnosing and treating Childhood Apraxia of Speech but now feel much more confident. Each week I learned something new and felt that it was definitely worth the time and effort.

T. Callahan

Highly informational

This course was highly informational and helpful. It is also a difficult, not clear-cut topic and I think Mike did a great job on structuring the class into bite-size, informative pieces.

Suzy SLP

Backed by research and engaging

The instructor was engaging and gave very good feedback on blog posts and essay assigments. The content in this course was backed by research and I was given information and resources that I can apply to my therapuetic intervention with the chilren I work with.
