Q

How might you use language stimulation techniques to Expand a child’s MLU?

A

24
Why might you use a standardised assessment?
- It has norms. Results are meaningful and valid comparison. - Funding purposes - describes the domains affected and severity - Not linguistically or contextually sensitive
25
Provide an example of a standardised language assessment. Describe it's levels.
CELF-P3. Level 1: is there a disorder? Level 2: nature of the disorder. Level 3: early literacy. Level 4: pragmatics.
26
James is 4. His parents suspect there may be a language delay. What subtest of the CELF would you begin with?
Level 1, to determine whether or not there is a disorder.
27
Mike is 3 with a DLD. What subtest of the CELF would you begin with to determine the nature of his impairment?
Level 2.
28
Describe morphology to a parent.
How we build meaning within words.
29
Describe syntax to a parent.
How we combine words to create complex meaning. It begins with 2 word combinations. Word order is important for question forms and commands.
30
Describe semantic to a parent.
Vocabulary and the meaning of words. Building world + concept knowledge. Children use nouns first, concrete. Verbs are important.
31
Describe pragmatics to a parent.
Using language to interact. Conventions include turn taking, eye contact, maintaining a topic, clarification questions, politeness markers.
32
Describe discourse to a parent.
Verbal narrative. Develops in stages. Forms foundation of literacy development.
33
Outline the framework for assessment.
1) Assessment 2) Interpret data 3) Diagnose 4) Develop prognosis 5) Recommendations 6) Intervention plan
