Q

What is the difference between speech, language, and cognitive communication: Speech

A

How we say sounds and words
Voice, Fluency, Articulation and Resonance

Example:
Jorge is 4 years old and it can be hard to understand him when he talks because he often repeats whole words at the beginning of his sentences, prolongs individual sounds for longer than usual and his speaking rate varies a lot.

Cognitive

A

Mental processes such as attention, memory, perception, organization, orientation, problem solving, reasoning, executive functions etc.

Example: Elise recently moved to a nursing home because she was having trouble living safely at home. She was often unable to recognize familiar faces, would get disoriented and distracted which was resulting in her forgetting to turn off water faucets and burners on the stove.

Q

Screening

A

It is brief, can address one or more areas, and is meant to tell us if something more is warranted or if someone might be at risk.
- Pass/Fail
- Cannot come up with a diagnosis based on a screening
- Do not help with treatment effort
- Failed screenings DO NOT necessarily mean there is a problem

Examples: Hearing screening; Kindergarten screenings in communication & language, motor (fine and gross), social skills, adaptive behavior, and pre-academic skills

Q

Informal Assessments

A

Non-standardized measures that is personalized to the individual

Interviewing: Ask single, open ended questions, ask for examples, avoid why questions and avoid no/yes questions

Swallow Function: Doesn’t test language skills but addresses how well the patient is swallowing
Voice
Picture naming probes
Language samples
Observations of play/classroom
Interactions with others
Behavior checklist

Not scored and compared to other samples, can be tailored to the patient’s needs, supplement scored measures, often give us ‘real world information’ in a way tests cannot, and may not have strict protocols.

Q

Dynamic Testing

A

Allow you to see what a person is capable of doing with support

NEVER make treatment recommendations based on this form of assessment

Useful for identifying treatment goals (more than static)

Useful for people from culturally and linguistically diverse groups

To test: Select areas that were impaired from static assessment and attempt to teach this skill

Q

What comes with a test?

A

Stimulus materials
Test form
Test manual
Always read the manual:

To yield accurate results – since everyone takes the test the same way, it allows for the results to be scored fairly. The test book provides the score that raises the level of concern since it’s different for every test

To prevent any results from being determined as invalid – you don’t want to have to go through all that testing just for your results not to count.

Q

The Gray Oral Reading Tests (GORT-5) was administered to probe a potential reading disorder. According to the test manual, the sensitivity of the test is 82% and the specificity is 86%. What does this mean?

A

The correct answers are: The test will accurately identify 82% of individuals with a reading disorder., The test is likely to miss 18% of individuals who present with a reading disorder.

37
Q

Short Term Goals

A

NARROW, might be achieved in a few sessions, change frequently, and are a series of small steps that help the client work towards their long-term goals

Example: With fading prompts, the patient will use 10 signs/gestures/or word approximations to request, protest, greet, and answer yes/no questions during structured therapy sessions 80% of opportunities in 4/5 consecutive sessions.

  • change task
68
Q

Understand the general components of the TIDieR checklist
