I was adequately satisfied with the event. I am glad that it was available virtually. I enjoyed the lesson plans because they were tangible, actionable items. The rubrics and checklists helped, too. It would be helpful to have the shared materials ahead of time or supplied right after the meeting starts.

I found it to be an informative, interesting and comprehensive overview of telepractice considerations with an emphasis on toddlers. I especially liked the emphasis on parent coaching, sharing videos of sessions and carryover, checklists of tech needs, and recommendation of using a routine. DEI is very important, but the ASHA segment on racism delayed the topic presentation and omitted other minorities, such as disabiities, which might offend some participants.

The presenter was engaging and informative. Could always use more Q&A. I had fun and am glad I did it

Excellent, engaging, knowledgeable speaker, clear, etc. Maybe spending less time on the checklists to prepare and more. I would have liked to see examples of therapy (videos), more time on actual therapy and therapy ideas, small group breakout session so that we could discuss our experiences and help each other out, networking with other teletherapists. Liked the platform used, very clear presentation, excellent, thank you

Dawn was very encouraging and promoted out of the box thinking. Too much time dedicated to virtual set-up vs. therapy with telepractice.
