Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)
In the DSMV, Mental Retardation is replaced with _______.
Intellectual Disability
What are the 3 types of DLD?
1 Language impairment on its own2 LD is part of bigger picture with print and literacy3 Lang learning disorder as part of something else (medical, cognitive)
What are the key diagnostic features of a language disorder? 4 Which one is most important?
syntax, word learning, verbs, semantics; SYNTAX
What is the most common finding in studies of neural anatomy and DLD?
atypical and asymmetry;
What is the most common finding in studies of neural function and DLD?
more focused memory
Is DLD caused by biology or environment?
genetics definitely plays a role
How does linguistic environment play into language disorders?
it doesn’t isolate on its own, but you need an enriched environment
How does dual language or multi-language environments affect DLD?
it doesn’t, should force mothers to model a language they can’t model properly (if they are better in Vietnamese, they should use that!)
Do clients diagnoses change over time?
yes, which makes you wonder if language disorders are all part of the same specturm
_____ uses information processing, memory, and learning. SLP may cause actual changes in brain structures.
Cognitive neuroscience
Why are changes in the brain of the client important to us? 2
1 if it is a just a beh, it may be compensatory and still reformulation of existing patterns2 brain-based changes leads client toward functional normalcy
Changes in the brain result from ______ and ____.
carefully manipulating the environment; child engagement in activity
Those with neurodevelopmental disorders (such as Autism) have more ____ ____.
biological constraints
How do brains develop?
back to front (sensory to cognition/execution)left to right (language to processing skills)
What are ways of increasing receptive language through preprocessing input? 4
1 attending to lang target w/ separating from connected speech2 associate items in the environment3 process phonetic units of a word4 focus on a small number of target words & repeat within and across contexts
What are ways of increasing receptive language through adapting input?
multi-sensory input through: pair with visual representation
What are two reasons that the child is not talking? 2
1 trouble parsing the words2 trouble mapping words to environmental info
What is needed for expressive language to help with word retrieval/production? 3
1 help them find the salient words2 use least to most prompting (and intentional levels of support)3 teach word combinations to use early semantic relations (description, recurrence, location, request+4 words)
Since TD kids form _____, which are help organize and become more elaborate with new experiences, what do we need to do with kids with NDD. 3
schemas; be intentional, provide a schedule, use key words (first, next), and explain strategies.
What are the criteria for SLI? 2
1 lang ability at least 1.25 s.d. below mean2 non verbal IQ of 85 or above (WNL)
What are the characteristics of ch w/ SLI? 5
1 diff w/ non-word repetition2 grammatical/inflectional morphemes3 delayed acquisition of words and reduced vocab, poorer fast mapping4 diff producing weak syllables5 diff processing non-linguistic stimuli
Why has SLI been discontinued?
there was a high association with dyslexia and neurological issues like ADHD
What does dialogic mean?
back and forth, dialogue based
