Q

In schools in California..

A
  • We don’t automatically screen any more

- It is all based on teacher and parent referral

Q

In the schools..

A

-Put the child on “monitor” status
-I say to a kindergarten teacher, e.g.:
“He is still quite young, so I will re-check him again in January. If he still doesn’t technically qualify for speech, I can re-screen him in first grade.”

Labioverted-tilt outward toward lips
Linguaverted-tilt inward toward tongue
Maloclusion
Open bite-lack of contact between upper and lower teeth
Cross bite-lateral overlapping of upper and lower dental arches

34
Q

OBTAINING A SPONTANEOUS SAMPLE

A
  • Ideal—representative of daily life
  • Collect 50-100 utterances
  • Time-consuming, hard with highly unintelligible children
35
Q

Practical Tips:

A
  • Bring in Family member, friend if needed
  • No loud toys
  • Let them hear themselves
36
Q

Advantages of Standardized tests:

A
  • quick (15-20 min.)
  • sample all consonants
  • you know what the highly unintelligible ch should be saying
37
Q

Disadvantages of Standardized tests:

A
  • Just single words, not connected speech
  • Children with oral motor problems do better in single words
  • Each phoneme sampled only once in each position (false negatives, false positives)
38
Q

Obtaining Responses:

A

Direct vs. delayed imitation

39
Q

Recording Responses:

A
  1. Plus/minus technique

2. Whole word transcription

40
Q

Record type of error:**

A

a. Omission (-)
b. Substitution t/k, d/g, w/r
c. Distortion—D or D1-D3
d. Addition—transcribe whole word

41

A

Clinical Assessment of Articulation and Phonology

43
Q

Commonly-used Tests: Articulation

A
  1. Arizona Articulation Proficiency Test-3
  2. Photo Articulation Test (PAT:3)
  3. Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation:2
44
Q

When you record:

A

Be sure to gloss or restate the child’s attempt into the recording (what they say)

45
Q

Speech Discrimination Testing

A

Minimal pairs

46
Q

Stimulability Testing

A

Stimulability is the child’s tendency to make a correct or improved production of a misarticulated sound when given a model or additional stimulation by the examiner

47
Q

Contextual Testing

A
  • McDonald’s Deep Test
  • Secord Contextual Articulation Tests (S-CAT)
  • Special procedure that can help id a facilitative phonetic context for correct production of a particular phoneme
48
Q

Analysis of Speech Sound Production

A
  • Independent analysis
  • Id sounds that are in the child’s phonetic inventory
  • Relational analysis
49
Q

What is independent analysis?

A

child’s productions transcribed without reference to adult model

50
Q

What is Relational analysis?

A

compare child’s production to standard/adult form

51
Q

What is Traditional Analysis?

A
  • Errors IMF

- Error types—omission, distortion, substitution, addition

52
Q

What is Developmental Analysis?

A

Compare child’s production to norms for CA (**public schools)

53
Q

What is Pattern Analysis?

A
  1. Distinctive Features 
  2. Place-Voice-Manner 
    - PVM: teach exemplars in the sound classgeneralization
    - Teach /k/ /g/
    (fricatives) Teach /f/ /s/
  3. Phonological Process Analysis**
    - Analyze PPs in terms of frequency, percentage of occurrence
    - Total # of occurrences of final cons. deletion = 10
    - Total # of opportunities for the process = 50
    - Total = 20% occurrence
54
Q

What is Phonetic Inventory Analysis?

A

Does the client have the motor ability to make the sound?

-motor means physical

55
Q

What is Intelligibility Analysis?

A
  • 60 intelligible words out of 170 words = 35% intelligibility
  • 30 intelligible words out of 56 words = 54% intelligibility
  • Usually—subjective statement “This examiner estimates that in a known context with an unfamiliar examiner, Joey is 50% intelligible in connected speech.”
56
Q

Making a diagnosis: Typical Speech Skills

A
  1. Errors-within normal age range
  2. Errors->L1 transfer(transferred from first language)
  3. Errors, but don’t interfere with life
57
Q

Disorders—Articulation Disorder

A
  1. Errors asscociated with organic, structural, or neurological origin
  2. Errors not typical of same-age peers
  3. No patterns to errors
  4. Errors don’t significantly compromise intelligibility
  5. Errors on only a few sounds
58
Q

Disorders—Phonological Disorder

A
  1. Highly unintelligible speech
  2. Multiple misarticulations
  3. Restricted phonetic inventory
  4. Patterns of errors (ex: final consonant deletion, cluster reduction)(Test 3)
59
Q

Severity Estimate–Disorder is:

A
  • Mild
  • Mild-moderate
  • Moderate
  • Moderate-Severe
  • Severe
  • Profound
60
Q

What is a Diagnostic Statement?

A
  • A summary—one of the last portions in a written report
  • It’s very important that this be well done, because it’s all most people ever read (e.g., parents, principals, pediatricians)
61
Q

DETERMINING PROGNOSIS

A
  • Prognosis = estimated course of a disorder under specified conditions
  • E.g., what will happen if tx is offered—or not?
  • Variables contributing to prognosis (p. 301—please know for exam)
62
Q

Roseberry:

A

Under-promise and over-deliver

63
Q

3 Major components of a good prognostic statement (p. 302):

A
  1. Goal statement- skills child expected to achieve-be specific (fair, good, excellent)
  2. Judgment of success
  3. Prognostic variables that justify the judgement
64
Q

MAKING THERAPY RECOMMENDATIONS

A
  1. Child has SSD-recommend treatment
  2. Child has errors, but age-appropriate-no treatment, re-evaluate later
  3. Typical Speech-no treatment-maybe first language transfer, or subtle problems that don’t impact life
  4. Child has SSD, but no immediate treatment
65
Q

Concluding the assessment process

A
  • Diagnostic report

- Conduct information-giving interview

66
Q

Information-giving interview

A
  • Begin with the positives
  • Summarize findings, conclusions, recommendations-next steps
  • Don’t fear the butter
67
Q

What is a diagnostic report?

A
  • Legal document-could end up in the hands of a lawyer without your permission
  • Typos, other errors are death
  • Peoples first impression of you!
