Q

RTI

A

response to intervention, referral, case finding

-teachers often refer

29
Q

RTI

A

used to get students extra help in classroom and if prognosis is not adequate-child is referred for a full evaluation

30
Q

teachers may not realize..

A

language plays critical role in child’s literacy development ora bility to follow instructions because the child “sounds normal” so slp needs to be involved

31
Q

slp may not be included in early rti because

A

teacher doesn’t know..we would prob have direct contact after tiers 1 and 2
-point of rti is to help them before they fail

32
Q

inservices

A

when we educate teachers

  • educate them on what to look for in kids who may have a language learning disability
  • rovide w/ questionnaire, tease out potential probs
33
Q

Evaluation

A
  1. standardized tests

2. criterion-referenced

34
Q

Why do we do standardized test?

A
  1. eligibility: dont give much info about what student actually needs
  2. most schools require scoring below a certain criteria on tests/subtests of comprehensive or global assessments.
    - this could be so arbitrary
35
Q

Many kids w/ language learning disabilities have ______ deficits

A

pragmatic!

  • want to spend time in real convo and that’s difficult to get with standardized assessments
  • there are few that can be used for eligibioty. they can be used to qualify a student but won’t tell you very much about what exactly needs to be done
36
Q

Once eligibility is established, we can look for baseline and identify targets for intervention through a __________ ___________ assessment

A

criterion referenced!!

-more neuonced, tease out things that aren’t quite right-gives you a baseline

37
Q

Phonology

A
  1. assessments

2. types of tasks: use nonsense words, rapid automated naming

38
Q

Most kids in this developmental range will not have a large number of ___________ errors

A

phonological

39
Q

Children with language learning disability will have difficulty w/ ________ demanding tasks

A

phonologically!!

-like producing complex unfamiliar words and phrases –> can’t rehearse/use new vocab for academic puposes

40
Q

Phonological skills are critical for

A

literacy development! kids have trouble when words are unknown
-if you can’t decode word then how is it going to sit in your memory long enough to attach meaning

41
Q

few tests look at phonology

A
  1. nonword repitition-common

2. some give phonological awareness assessment

42
Q

You can also look at higher level of phonological skills through a task called _________

A

Rapid Automated Naming

  • descriminate kids w/ phon. problems
  • students are asked to name common objects
  • or they can produce overlearned series (months, days of week) - info is supposed to discriminate good and poor readers
  • kids that have prob with this suggests a phonological problem
43
Q

Semantics

A
  1. receptive vocab

2. expressive vocab

44
Q

receptive vocab

A
  1. standardized
  2. instructional vocab.
  3. textbook vocab
45
Q

Expressive vocab

A
  1. lexical diversity
  2. word retreival
  3. quick incidental learning (fast mapping)
  4. semantic relations between clauses
46
Q

Receptive vocab: standardized (decontextualized assessment)

A

picture pointing is usually how it’s tested

  • once deficit in this area, we should further probe vocab necessary for child to succeed
  • if child doesn’t have difficulty w/ this task and have normal vocab, you should NOT try doing criterion because standardized is the hardest/no context and they’ve mastered it
47
Q

Receptive: Instructional vocabulary

A

classroom vocabulary

  • observe in the class
  • spatial, temporal (order of things like before and after) vocab
  • what kinds of directions does the teacher give? name on paper, get out books, trn to page, # your paper vertically, -kid labels them as bad kid bec don’t follow directions
48
Q

Receptive: textbook vocab

A

many have vocab section, do in standardized manner or have them read sentence that contains the vocab word and give context

49
Q

2 components to focus on with expressive vocabulary

A

lexical diversity and word retreival

50
Q

lexical diversity; receptive

A

ability to use flexible but precise vocab (large vocab ppl communicate more efficiently)

51
Q

how to measure lexical diversity

A

Type Token Ratio: count total # of words and divide by number of different words- problem is that kids w/ sli do not differ significanlty on this measure

52
Q

Type token ratio/tests lexical diversity

A

speech sample of number of diff words and number of total-more sensitive to differences even using various sizes, lots of words to describe things

  • # of diff words = type
  • # of total words = token
53
Q

Word retrieval; receptive

A

very common in students w/ LLD- see if the score much higher on receptive than expressive- if problem then assess w/ standardized

54
Q

What if kid doesn’t know word at all or just couldn’t retreive it?

A

if they do fine on receptive and horrible on expressive that means they have a big vocab but can’t say the word

55
Q

Quick incidental learning: receptive

A

fast mapping; how do you present it to them; can they get it in context- how fast they’re able to learn
-ability to acquire new words quickly w/o being explicitly taught the word; just brief exposure

56
Q

semantic relations between clauses; receptive

A

as kids language develop, begin to use sentences that contain more than one proposition or main idea
-if child is trying to express more than one idea in an utterance then they are showing readiness to learn complex syntax

57
Q

ex of semantic relations between clauses

A
  1. eat dinner and go outside; temporal or conditional- if i eat dinner i can go outside
    - if child says “eat dinner go outside” they’re showing readiness to get the semanti crelations between clause-they’re showing cognitively they’r ready to go to to that next step
58
Q

Syntax and morphology

A
  1. receptive (complex sentences, standardized tests, criterion reference, contextualized and decontextualized)
  2. expressive
59
Q

Sometimes kids produce sentence forms even when they fail to perform correctly on comp tests where nonlinguistic cues have been removed

A

they produce it but don’t understand it

60
Q

Children w/ LLD are often delayed in:

A

understanding complex sentences found in school reading material
-teaching area of oral language can greatly impact literacy development

61
Q

Having probs in oral language impacts what area

A

literacy development

62
Q

Ex of complex sentence probs:

A
  1. passive: dog was bitten by the child-difficult
  2. embedded clauses: the man who wears suspenders fell down
  3. adverbial conjunction- before you go outside, clean your room
63
Q

How to assess syntax and morphology receptively

A

standardized tests: if do well, stop here.

  • if below normal use criterion referenced decontextualized
  • if still not well, scaffold/give context
64
Q

how to assess syntax and morphology receptively

A

criterion referenced contextualized; if they can use cues

65
Q

why is criterion referenced contextualized important

A

its a way to help them improve immediately in the class;

66
Q

if child does not do better w/ contextualized cues, intervention needs to be more

A

clinician directed; harder; tends to show better evidence is clinician directed therapy to directlyt each comprehension of sentences

67
Q

Criterion referenced methods for assessing receptive syntax and morphology

A

decontextualized: picture pointing, behavioral compliznce (they do what you ask them to do)
- judgement: present series of sentences and have student tell whether each is ok or silly
- judgement decontextualized: say sentence out of blue and ask if correct/incorrect
- judgement contextualized; start using order

68
Q

see if you can use context if the decontextualized task failed

A

probable order of event: boy ate the dog

-order of mention: go to store then go to car

69
Q

testing expressive syntax and morphology

A

look at standardized to see if child is performing differently
spontaneous speech sampling gives good picture of what child is actually doing
best way to see expressive is language sample
