Outstanding! I would recommend this to new SLPs and seasoned practitioners in the same. A nicely structured, evidence-based, yes easily digestible course that covered so much ground in the area of assessments. Very well organized and a reasonable amount of work to complete, even while working. Thank you for such a thoughtful and thorough course!

I loved this course! The topic of assessments is universally relevant, no matter what setting or population we are working with. I have felt that I have not developed my skills in this area since entering the field and focusing largely on continuing education for treatment. This was a great foundational course for increasing and updating my depth of knowledge.

I loved this course. I liked the format and the fact that I could complete the coursework at my own pace. The information was thought provoking and I will certainly use the information in future evaluations.
