I will take away strategies for communicating with patients and caregivers, especially when communicating information that may be difficult to hear. The information I learned can be directly applied to the clinical side of SLP, which is crucial for my growth and professional development.

# data[].attributes.body
I will take away the importance of ensuring treatment goals and activities are functional and meaningful to each individual person. I will also take away strategies to communicate with both patients and caregivers.

# data[].attributes.body
How to communicate with patients and caregivers. Providing education, being empathetic, listening. Delivering information in laymans terms and how to involve patients so they feel confident and understood

# data[].attributes.body
My learning changed significantly in realizing how much goes into cognitive communication. I never thought I'd be learning so much information about certain topics like attention and going into the details we did. I also learned more about time management and study techniques.

# data[].attributes.body
Listening and responding empathetically to patients and caregivers. Also providing support for the caregiver and pushing them to care for themselves!

# data[].attributes.body
The most significant moment of learning was actually being able to apply what we were learning to real life situations, specifically for patient in the clinic.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned to integrate content from multiple weeks successfully. I also feel that I got better at managing time when completing the assignments.

# data[].attributes.body
I will take away that education and caregiver support are so important when working with adults. Teaching patients about a diagnosis or other things they can implement to improve their quality of life.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning how to communicate with patients.

# data[].attributes.body
This was my favorite course so far so like everything

# data[].attributes.body
How to best communicate with patients and caregivers

# data[].attributes.body
Looking at content from a more clinical lens and being able to break it down to better understand.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I feel more comfortable then before with dealing with the adult population in relation to TBI, dementia, attention, memory, and other cog domains. I am very grateful for all the information given to us and can't wait to bring my toolbox along with me

# data[].attributes.body
Knowing how to share information to patients and caregivers in a way that they can understand while also being empathetic

# data[].attributes.body
My learning has definitely changed as a result of this class. I now know so much more about cognitive communication as well as how to provide information in a way that is appropriate for families.

# data[].attributes.body
I got better at being able to apply knowledge from lectures to clinical scenarios when completing assignments, and making sure I listen and understand the concepts during lecture

# data[].attributes.body
What I will take away is the importance of providing patient centered care and ensuring EBP that makes the patient feel comfortable and safe. This is especially true with loved ones as well and making sure they are supported.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt like what I was learning in class really applied to clinic and I was able to apply these theories, assessments and treatments.

# data[].attributes.body
How to really individualize treatment while maintaining the evidence behind it. And just because there is evidence, does not mean it is the best option.

# data[].attributes.body
I have been able to make connections between topics from the beginning of the semester to now, and from topics in this class to other classes, which has been really helpful and felt easier to do compared to last semester. I feel more confident in applying this information, especially because I had a TBI patient while taking this class

# data[].attributes.body
The most significant moment of my learning was towards the end of class. In a conversation that had nothing to do with this class directly, I realized I was able to apply knowledge learned here to situations outside the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
The importance on how to interact with patients and their caregivers. That building trust and rapport will increase motivation and trust to complete therapy with you as a provider.

# data[].attributes.body
The most challenging part of the course was the first few weeks when we learned about attention and memory but they need up being the reward when it came to assignments at the end of the semester.

# data[].attributes.body
The most significant moment of my learning was in class reviews and applying what we learned to homework activities.

# data[].attributes.body
Remember that these are people!! With loved ones. Support support support. Educate and always point out the pros and not just the cons.

# data[].attributes.body
Having Jacquie come in and talk to us about what it was like to be a family member was very impactful and changed my perspective on a lot of things.

# data[].attributes.body
The most significant moment of my learning was realizing that I really enjoy the cognitive communication aspect of SLP and that I may want to specialize in it after graduation!

# data[].attributes.body
I learned how to manage assignment load better. It kept me on a good schedule having the assignments due on Wednesday evening because then I had to make sure both assignments were submitted by Wednesday morning.

# data[].attributes.body
This was the course I have found most impactful so far. All of the content we learned was beneficial and taught in a valuable way. I hope to work with this population in the future and use all of this information.

# data[].attributes.body
Learning how to apply the content we learned in class to clinical situations through the assignments

# data[].attributes.body
Motivational Interviewing!! Definitely something very useful in this field.

# data[].attributes.body
My learning has changed as i feel I have a good grasp on how to not only recognize signs of cognitive communication disorders but how to treat it and feel like I would be able to do so

# data[].attributes.body
I have learned how I comprehend best, and really how much work I put into things changes the way I can recall and manipulate the information. I feel like I can really use everything we have learned if I needed to tomorrow.

# data[].attributes.body
The weekly assignments definitely improved my learning as it reinforced the content we spoke of in class.

# data[].attributes.body
How you act with patients is so important. We also play a larger role in areas than many people know. We have to be ready to explain why we are there with a patient.

# data[].attributes.body
I think when I was able to connect class to clinic. My clinic this semester was all cog and it was awesome to see all the information we learned in class being directly applied to clinic!

# data[].attributes.body
My learning has changed because it has made me more confident in the clinic. I had two cog patients and was able to give recommendations as well as strategies with confidence and answer questions that they had independently.

# data[].attributes.body
Everything we learned! one of the biggest things is making sure treatment is meaningful and relevant

to the patient!

# data[].attributes.body
Knowing how to deliver information in laymans terms and being considerate of how to deliver news or information to a loved one without all the medical jargon.

# data[].attributes.body
I not only know about cog comm, but I feel way more confident in my ability to apply it to practice. A lot of college courses I have taken teach me a lot, but not necessarily how to apply it, which is something I really valued from this course.

# data[].attributes.body
I will take away how important it is to build rapport with clients in this population and how much of an impact we can have on them and their caregivers.

# data[].attributes.body
When we were talking about EF since I struggle with it. So being able to help find strategies I can also use. I also liked learning about the strategies and treatment for individuals dealing with dementia. I was able to relate that to my own family experience. I was able to explain to my mom things that could help with my grandmother.

# data[].attributes.body
the most challenging topic I think was the first half of the semester, it was a hefty load of information, but very worth it!

# data[].attributes.body
Making treatment relevant, functional, and meaningful to each individual

# data[].attributes.body
Hearing from the different speakers and panelists about how what we are doing will directly apply to different populations and how we will use this information, especially with placements coming up quickly.

# data[].attributes.body
The most challenging topic was executive functions and the first half of the course.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we were given a ton of great resources that I can refer back to in my clinical career. Overall, just the information we were taught is going to be applied to my clinical practice.

# data[].attributes.body
The importance of making treatment meaningful, relevant, and functional. Also, the importance of talking to the patient, but also ensuring that time is taken to address the caregiver and their needs.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought more clinically about the content we were learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Everything! Mostly taking other perspectives when giving information or delivering news

# data[].attributes.body
The beginning half of the course was the most challenging, as it was sometimes difficult to fully understand some of the complex topics in clinical practice. It was a lot of information, but the way the course was laid out made it easier to comprehend.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the most challenging was tackling the first half of the class due to the density and pace.

# data[].attributes.body
The TBI panel and hearing from guest speakers

# data[].attributes.body
The most significant moment of my learning was the hands on assignments that require us to piece together all we've learned to case studies on how we would evaluate and treat patients, and communicate in layman terms

# data[].attributes.body
I think the most significant part of my learning was the weekly assignments. As the semester went on, I felt more ready and able to complete the assignments solely based on what we had already learned which was a great feeling.

# data[].attributes.body
The most significant moment in learning was the feedback on the assignments. They were also thorough (and addressed in class) to really polish up our assignments and think clinically about all aspects of a patient when doing case study assignments.

# data[].attributes.body
The most challening topics were from the first half of the course (attention, memory, executive functions, social communication). This is because it all went into great detail and built off of each other quickly, so you had to have a good understanding of it all to apply it to the next.

# data[].attributes.body
The beginning of the semester was a bit challenging because the course material was heavy, but it set us up nicley at the end which was really helpful!

# data[].attributes.body
I learned how to apply the content we were learning to more clinically related questions. This course helped me think more critically and pushed me to become a better learner!

# data[].attributes.body
My learning has changed because I was applying concepts across different areas. I feel like each section built off the other. Holding myself accountable for taking thorough notes was important for my overall learning.

# data[].attributes.body
The most challenging part of the course was the materials covered in the first half of the semester.

# data[].attributes.body
Hearing from guest speakers, especially Jacquie

# data[].attributes.body
The TBI panel with Jacqui. It was so impactful and will make me one day a more empathetic clinical

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite lecture lecture was the treatment for dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease and MCI.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite lecture was learning about TBI and hearing Jacquie talk about her experience with TBI.

# data[].attributes.body
I really like how the assignments were set up in this course and it pushed me to think deeper into each concepts. I appreciated how much it prepared me for this population.

# data[].attributes.body
I have learned how much a quick review of previously learned content can benefit my continued learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Honestly, when Jacque came in to talk. We can hear from guest speakers, other therapists, and through coursework but when it's someone you know in your own life it feels a lot more real.

# data[].attributes.body
This class allowed me to listen to the professor to understand the concepts, rather than just writing down the notes. The way this course was taught was incredibly useful.

# data[].attributes.body
I think my time management skills have greatly improved

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite lecture was the TBI and special ops military populations. This is a population I am excited to work with in the future!

# data[].attributes.body
The most challenging part of the course was the first few weeks becoming acclimated with what was expected.

# data[].attributes.body
The first half of the course, particularly executive functions and memory

# data[].attributes.body
The most significant point in my learning is when we were going over compensatory treatments for people with Dementia, and it overlapped with everything we teach our BrainWise participants! I feel like I know this management very thoroughly now from BrainWise and class.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite lectures were the ones with guest speakers. I really enjoyed when Jacquie came in to talk about her expereince. I also enjoyed learning more about cognitive aging and TBI and how to support these populations

# data[].attributes.body
The executive function lecture specifically, but generally the beginning few weeks had the most dense information and remembering the different types of attention, memory etc. was initially difficult

# data[].attributes.body
I think just keeping on top of all the content was the most challenging. There was a lot to remember and work with in our weekly assignments, but it was rewarding in the end.

# data[].attributes.body
Within the assignments having us pretend like we are delivering information to a caregiver or client

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite part was getting to hear from all the different professionals and parts of the care team to learn about the different topics we learned about in class. It helped to make a lot of connections from topics in the first half of the class!

# data[].attributes.body
The most challenging part of this course was the executive function lecture. It required pulling everything together and testing our knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
The way the lectures were set up helped me to learn the best and being able to apply it to the assignments was super helpful. I feel that going back and reviewing the information from the previous week was very beneficial to my learning.

# data[].attributes.body
The pre-midterm information it was very dense in a short amount of time (but we were warned )

# data[].attributes.body
The most challenging part of this class was the first few weeks, and adjusting to the workload.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite lectures were learning about right hemisphere disorder and learning specific therapy approaches for executive dysfunction. I also enjoyed learning about Mild NCD and how to work with those with TBI

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite lectures were the one’s were outside speakers came in as these provided a different perspective of the content discussed in class.

# data[].attributes.body
I will take away the assignments where we practiced strategies of communicating assessment results with patients, and additionally also communicating these things to families in understanding and laymens terms

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the midterm was a significant moment of my learning. That was a key moment to my understanding of how much content I had learned and was able to apply.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it was most significant to hear from guest speakers and their personal experiences with the populations we were talking about.

# data[].attributes.body
TBI panel with Jacqui

# data[].attributes.body
The first half of the course because it was so content heavy

# data[].attributes.body
The load of assignments, readings, class, and other recorded lectures was difficult at times while trying to save room for other courses.

# data[].attributes.body
The most significant moment was when we finished content and I realized how much knowledge I had gained about different areas of cog-comm

# data[].attributes.body
Hearing Jacquies perspective as a caregiver.

# data[].attributes.body
The most challenging topic was executive functioning just because of the amount of information

# data[].attributes.body
I think everything that I have learned in your class this semester will be taken with me into my clinical career.

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite part was Jacquie coming in to talk about her personal experience with TBI. It was very moving.

# data[].attributes.body
The way you interact and build rapport with patient is just as important as what you are doing. Treat the whole person!

# data[].attributes.body
My favorite content that we learned about was from the concussion panel, mTBI/TBI, and AD and the ADRDs!

# data[].attributes.body
The beginning half of the semester was definitely the hardest

# data[].attributes.body
The most challenging part was learning the different executive functions and remembering/understanding the differences
