How might you use language stimulation techniques to Expand a child’s MLU?
1) Build vocab of nouns and verbs with semantic stimulation. Expansions, Extensions, Self/parallel talk.
2) Build syntactic understanding with build-ups, breakdowns, recasts.
3) reinforce with imitations.
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
