Four panelists generously agreed to review the demo and posters presented. All of the presentations were reviewed by at least two of the panelists. The panelists included their own views on the topic, as well as commentary on the presentations reviewed. The Powerpoint presentations for the panelists are available. Our apologies that these presentations, created in Microsoft Powerpoint, and saved as htm, look better in Explorer. The text is still visible, but lines and arrows seem to disappear unfortunately. We welcome any suggestions here. Read-Only powerpoint versions of the original slide sets are also included, though they are in some cases very large. If you have Powerpoint installed on your computer, you can click on the powerpoint link and then select the read only option. · Jared Bernstein, President Ordinate Corporation, which is owned by Harcourt Assessment commented on his experience in speech and language in education.
