26
Q

Name some non-standardised assessments for Aphasia

A

→ Naming Cueing Hierarchy (word-level)

- use any subtest or activity from a standardised test
- with/without any supports
- determine the level of cueing and the breakdown strategies needed

27
Q

Name some non-standardised assessments for AOS

A

→ Apraxia of Speech Rating Scale

→ AOS Speech Sounds Cueing Hierarchy

→ Dynamic Assessment
To determine:

- level of cueing / supports
- nature of stimuli
(see contingency table below)

28
Q

Name some non-standardised assessments for TBI and RHD

A

→ TBI Bank Protocol / RHD Bank Protocol
Evaluate cognitive communication skills, including:
- free speech sample
- picture descriptions
- story narrative (Cinderella retell)
- procedural discourse (PB&J sandwich)

→ Dynamic Assessment
- use any subtest or activity from a standardised test
- with/without any supports
- determine the level of cueing, breakdown strategies needed

Supports can include:
- cognitive (scaffolding, breaking tasks down)
- visuals (using pictures for sequencing tasks)
- spaced retrieval screening (for memory)
- treatment cueing hierarchy (phonemic, orthographic cues etc)
- probing awareness (self vs clinician)

29
Q

Name some non-standardised assessments for dementia

A

Evaluate cognitive communication skills, including:
- free speech sample
- picture descriptions
- story narrative (Cinderella retell)
- procedural discourse (PB&J sandwich)
→ Dynamic Assessment
- use any subtest or activity from a standardised test
- with/without any supports
- determine the level of cueing, breakdown strategies needed

→ Spaced Retrieval Screener

30
Q

Name some non-standardised assessments for PPA

A

→ Spaced Retrieval Screener
- assess function and memory

→ Cognitive interview and forms
- assess problem behaviours

31
Q

Name some assessments for evaluating the environment

A

→ Caregiver Burden Scale
- subjectively assesses caregiver’s well being

→ Adapted Kagan Scales
- MSC (Measure of Skill in Supported Conversation) - rates the CPs ability to acknowledge / reveal communication competence of pwCCD.
