at risk and CLD populations Flashcards
How is SLI diagnosed?
By exclusionary criteria (i.e., no issues in hearing and motor ability; signs of emotional issues) and discrepancy (i.e., normal intellectual function but impaired language function)
All children with a SLI diagnosis meet the criteria for a developmental language disorder. True or False?
True
What is intellectual disability? What are details regarding it?
limits in two or more areas (e.g., work, leisure, social interactions, self-care, home living), limits in adaptive behavior and intellectual functioning; comes about before the age of 18; present with substantial limits in present functioning; significantly sub-average intellectual ability
What is cultural competence?
a practitioner being able to respond respectively and appropriately to clients given their cultural background.
How do SLPs best work with individuals who speak different dialects?
use techniques from ESL instruction and TESOL instruction
What is simultaneous bilingualism?
learn 2 or more languages at once
What is successive bilingualism?
learning a 2nd language after successfully developing the 1st
What is additive bilingualism?
Keeping the 1st language and adding a 2nd/3rd/4th language
What is subtractive bilingualism?
Learn a second language but then lose proficiency in the first language
What are some ways to assess bilingual children?
assess vocabulary in both languages, then add total number of words; ethnographic interviewing
In assessing children from CLD backgrounds, consider the following:
establish language dominance if possible; assess in dominant language whenever possible through informants and informal assessments
In the model of world englishes, what is in the innermost circle?
USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand
In the model of world englishes, what is in the outer circle?
Bangladesh, Kenya, Ghana, Malaysia, South Africa
In the model of world englishes, what is in the expanding circle?
China, Egypt, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Israel
There is no scientific way to distinguish between language and a dialect
True
What is a dialect?
a regional or cultural variation within a language that is shared by a group of people
What can an SLP do to meet the need of someone with ID?
establish eligibility for services based on definition; identify strengths and weaknesses; identify type of support (e.g., intermittent, limited, pervasive, or expansive)
What populations are considered at-risk for misdiagnosis or not getting treatment
Intellectually disabled; kids who are deaf or have hearing impairments; kids with otitis media; CLD populations
Combined with other problems, OME may cause a language delay
True
What factors dictate languages that are deemed acceptable?
history and politics
When an SLP works with an individual who speaks other dialects, they should consider
hx of discrimination and separation who may lead to pragmatic as well as structural differences in language use.
Solutions for assessing non-speakers and LEP/ENL speakers include
informal assessment (e.g., language sampling), criterion referenced testing (must be aware of differences in developmental expectation and pragmatics)
Regarding language dominance, we make assumptions that children have a dominant language and will show lots of competence across all linguistic domains in one language. However, what are the problems with these assumptions?
perhaps there is no dominant language (child may be equally advanced or delayed in both); scattered abilities (e.g.; phonology may be better in one language than in the other); It may be that no one is truly bilingual
