I am extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to hear Tatyana Elleseff speak on the critical connection between language acquisition and literacy development. As a Certified Academic Language Practitioner, my training has equipped me with strong tools for teaching struggling readers; however, I have consistently observed that some students present with more complex literacy challenges, particularly when early language acquisition has been impacted. Tatyana provided clear, practical, and research-aligned insights that deepen my understanding of these profiles and offer concrete strategies I can integrate within a structured literacy framework. I am grateful for a knowledgeable voice shining a light on this often-overlooked link and for supporting dyslexia practitioners like me in continually refining our instruction to better meet the needs of all learners.

She spoke to a group of Academic Language Therapists in Texas and we were all so impressed with her breadth of knowledge about the reading process and development of language in children. I sent her an email with some outstanding questions and she wrote me a very thoughtful response. I appreciate her sharing her time and insight with us.

I contacted Tatyana for a consult on a treatment plan for a complex case. I got so much more than that. The level of depth with which she reviewed and analyzed my data was invaluable – she not only suggested additional assessment measures but also provided a wealth of tools, ideas, and a clear direction moving forward. Her expertise and conviction were crucial in shaping my own understanding. I highly recommend her services to both new and seasoned SLPs. I will be back for more help. Thank you so much Tatyana!

The presentation was clear, organized, and it will be directly applicable to my work a a school-based SLP in Missouri. Thank you

After listening to Tatyana Elleseff speak about the SLPs role in literacy assessment and intervention, I now have a clearer picture of all the ways I can support my clients as well as information on the many resources I can access to accomplish these goals. She is an engaging speaker with clear expertise in this subject matter.

Great information and resources. Expanded my knowledge about literacy and how critical it is to speech and language development and interventions. Provided a lot of “ah-hah” and “light bulb” moments. Excited to apply what i learned to support my students and explore the resources shared to further my knowledge and strengthen my skills as a speech pathologist. Amazing!!! Thank you! Let me know if you decide to provide a part 2 to this course 🙂

The presentation was packed with many accessible resources! Thanks for all of the research information as well!

Tatyana shared many resources and helpful ideas during her presentation. I hope to take many of these and work them into my everyday therapy activities related to reading, vocabulary, and writing.

I will use the handout as a resource for the research to cite when explaining why I do what I do.

Great presentation with practical applications and explanations!!!!!

Bluntly, Tatyana is outstanding! Not only is she extremely professional, but kind and considerate of the children she is helping. She took extreme care and all the time needed to truly and thoroughly evaluate my son and provide feedback that was evidence-based, included diagnoses, and recommendations for moving forward. As a parent, she listened intently to my concerns and spoke clearly to me about them and how they related to what she found during her testing sessions. She was easy to communicate with and always incredibly respectful and responsive!

I would highly recommend Tatyana to anyone who may be concerned about their child in the areas language and literacy as she will uncover underlying issues and provide a map for remediation. She will be an invaluable resource and advocate for your child. I thank her so much for how she helped my son. She is a true expert and tremendous asset to your child’s team!

Great! Such an information packed presentation full of research/theory, practical information, and resources. This is one of several of Tatyana’s presentation I have viewed and they are all well researched and full of evidence to support our practice. This presentation spanned so many areas and was a great opportunity for me to refresh my practice with solid ideas and treatment strategies.

Tatyana has gone above and beyond. She recommended additional information to request in reports. Then she reviewed the full reports when additional information was provided. She provided short term goals and programs and additional follow up possibilities with clinician for clarification and specification. These goals and recommendations will help me adequately advocate for my child, find appropriate services and developed a well-designed IEP specific to my child’s needs. My only recommendation is that I wish Tatyana was in my home state of NE.

This was such a fabulous presentation and I learned so much. Tatyana covered areas I wasn’t even aware of. The webinar was full of excellent evidence-based references which I appreciated very much.

This was an excellent webinar! As an SLP working with adolescents, the information was extremely useful to me. I often wonder how constructivist pedagogy contributes to and exacerbates the challenges associated with executive functioning. I would love to attend Part 2 on this subject.

This presentation provides a strong framework to improve the planning and provision of language therapy sessions.

This information actually helped me write an IEP for a student in need of executive functioning support. Thank you!

The presenter has very extensive knowledge on the subject of EF skills. This was a very informative session and I have a much better understanding now of the EF skills and how they impact language abilities and vice versa. I will be able to reevaluate goals for my clients to ensure better outcomes for them.

The information provided was incredibly valuable. A must-hear for SLPs working in education.

Thanks, Tatyana! All your inputs are very helpful to professionals like me. This opportunity really helped me find an understanding of the latest trend about EF. More power! Thank you.

Thank you very much for an excellent presentation directly related to clinical practice

Thank you Tatyana Elleseff for your incredible dedication and professional level that you put in all your contributions for better, more effective speech and language therapy.

Thank you for presenting such overdue content for SLPs!

Tatyana shared a ton of wonderful information… thank you!

Tatyana is clearly one of the best and brightest in the field when it comes to language and literacy. I have a background in neuroscience, but so much of this information on executive functions, like hot and cold EFs, was new to me, and Tatyana hammered home the point that addressing language and literacy is what will indirectly improve EFs. I felt pretty relieved to hear this presentation too, as I often hear about courses and subscriptions pertaining to EF therapy, and I constantly feel bad for not subscribing to any of it, thinking I’m not doing enough. This was for free! Thank you, Tatyana, for your generosity in sharing such high-quality information with us.

Tatyana clearly presents her extensive knowledge in a very accessible manner. She is extremely generous with sharing her knowledge and resources. Thank you for covering an important area. The knowledge gained will definitely come in helpful with my caseload.

Such a helpful webinar to further my understanding of EF. Working with students with a disability it deepened my knowledge of why they find things difficult and helps me to explain to other teachers why they struggle in class and strategies that can be used to support them.

I’ve attended a few of Tatyana’s webinars and can definitely say that she delivers high-quality evidence-based content in a very structured and clear manner. This webinar is so informative and helped me to develop and support my reasoning for many of the things that I have been doing in my clinical practice. I will be referring to the slides and the webinar again as there’s so much to learn.

Thank you Tatyana for your dedication to evidence-based practice.

It was excellent! Thank you for your expertise and the research that went into this presentation.

It is always a professional joy to attend a webinar presented by Tatyana Elleseff.

I really appreciate the presenter’s focus on EF interventions that do NOT work — and digging into those methods and the reasons why they are problematic, etc. It was also helpful to review in more detail the interventions which do have evidence and are evidence-based. I especially found the cautionary explanation of visualization skills to be helpful in terms of being aware of a student’s developmental level and the need for underlying skills. I also found the description of how to implement the intervention for self-regulation for EF to be very helpful. Thank you!!

I really appreciate how Tatyana is able to dig deep into the research and then share her findings. Her passion for what she does really shows!

I love how Tatyana presented the background/theory information then went through what language/reading skills need to be explicitly taught by category!

Having done a lot of Professional Development over a lot of years (!!), I think this ranks up in the top three. I will be reviewing this one until it’s second nature, because I think so much of the material is fundamental to support of many, many areas referred to SLPs for support, and I’m excited to have the perspective of broadening my ways of thinking about helping students to become more successful academically (and all that goes with remaining in school).

Thank you so very much.

Extremely grateful for the body of research and information you have put together exemplifying the critical link between EF and all aspects of language and literacy. It never ceases to amaze me how often I read in ETR multi-factored report that a student has EF problems, whether determined from the BRIEF, other test, and/or from teacher report, WITHOUT any mention of language performance, language assessment results, or recommendation to assess language. You have given SLP’s the evidence and therefore the confidence to shout from the roof tops, which we must do, that language ability is foundational to building EF skills! With much appreciation.

Excellent presentation and your slides pulled together the information in a way that I could only enhance my experience. Thank you!

Applicable research and content that can be utilized immediately! Thank you!

I just want to take a second to thank you personally for the POWERUP conference https://laviinstitute.com/online-power-up-slp-conference-august-2022/. I haven’t had a chance to listen to everything yet–school is off and running! However, what you are providing is The Most Useful Information for my actual work than anything else I have found.

This summer, I chose to upgrade with you rather than pay for ASHA Connect. There are a few good classes, but almost every single one of your courses applies directly to my caseload. In addition, many of your presenters are starting to provide more information on applied research; i.e., how would implementation actually look. We have so little time in schools with all of the additional duties/activities we need to be involved in, so having PD that is accurate, evidence-based and directly applicable is where my money will go every time. (Especially since I pay for all my PD myself!

Thank you for selecting excellent presenters on topics that apply to our actual caseloads. The excellence of your conferences is very much appreciated!

Tatyana’s presentation on using EBP interventions to improve EFs was amazing. In addition to providing a comprehensive analysis on EF, she highlighted the relationship between EBP language and literacy interventions and their efficacy on self regulation and various EF skills. Tatyana’s presentations never disappoint. They not only impart knowledge on the topic but also provide practical guidance for implementation of EBP interventions that address generalization of language and literacy skills.

I found Tatyana Elleseff after doing extensive research on my own to find an SLP who could do a comprehensive language and literacy evaluation for my 6 year old grandson. He was denied speech and language services going into kindergarten due to test scores being too high, despite the fact that I felt he had some fairly obvious weakness in his language. Tatyana was wonderful to work with. She took the time to look through all previous evaluations in order to come up with a very individualized set of assessments that were done over several separate appointments, so as to accommodate my grandson’s needs.

The final report was above and beyond what I expected. Not only did it uncover significant language impairment, but also contained a treatment plan with long and short term goals, suggestions for future assessments and guidance for how and when to end treatment.

Tatyana’s expertise in this field was evident in her attention to detail in everyone of the assessments, much of it backed up by research with citations.

I would highly recommend Tatyana Elleseff to anyone looking for an excellent and comprehensive language and literacy evaluation

Tatyana has presented for the NYCDOE several times since 2015. She has presented at our citywide bilingual conference as well as on topics such as Behavior Modification and “From Wordless Books to Reading”. She has a wonderful presentation style, has been very thoughtful in developing meaningful presentations and wonderful to work with professionally.

Tatyana has given 2 brilliant, informative presentations to our parent support group: The Differences Between a Neuropsychological Evaluation and a Language/Literacy Assessment and, How Language Affects Reading. Both parents and professionals raved about what they learned. Tatyana has such command of these topics. She is adept at explaining these subjects well to an audience with diverse levels of knowledge. We will definitely engage her again!

Tatyana was very thorough in reviewing my daughter’s information and helped me to know what next steps to take. She is clearly very knowledgeable and breaks the information down so that it is easy to understand. I appreciate her time that she takes to go through all of the intake forms and explaining what patterns she sees and what would be the best steps to take.

Tatyana’s seminar on “EBP Use of Animated Films to Target Language Goals” was very well done. Her skillful presentation was super organized with comprehensive information that is relevant and can be used as a reference. Her handouts provided examples of intervention targets, along with sample-type questions. Tatyana directly quoted the appropriate research. She provided me with the tools and resources to keep my students engaged as their goals are addressed. Her presentation was outstanding!

This was one of the finest and useful presentations in my 25 years in the field. Highly supportive of clinical work. Very exciting.

Tatyana always brings a wealth of knowledge on her topic and provides effective intervention ideas based on current evidence. I always find her presentations extremely useful as a school-based SLP.

Dr. Tatyana Elleseff has a presentation style that is well organized and packed full of practical, useful information. Her pace is perfect and she is always willing to stop and answer questions. I have enjoyed each of her lectures!

I have used animated videos in therapy before. However, Tatyana gave a brilliant presentation on the justification, the why, the evidence-based reasons of why to use these to target our clients goals. She also explicitly explained with clear cut examples of how to use these films in therapy. Furthermore, she gave us a list of resources which included various question types to use based on their goals. This was extremely helpful to me as a school-based therapist in justifying my use of these materials and keeping my students engaged and making progress with their various goals, whether it’s oral and written language and/or social-pragmatic goals.

This is an exceptional SLP with extensive knowledge and insight that any SLP would find invaluable!

Amazing presentation! I learned so much from all the information and resources you provided. I will definitely be using these in my therapy moving forward. I felt that I especially have been reflective on the use of more dynamic assessment. This is an area that I feel could be improved and your input and information really helped to broaden my perspective on it. Thank you!!
