Q

Describe consultation vs collaboration.

Q

Signs of disordered phonology?

A
  1. Use of unresolved phonological processes
    -Cluster reduction, initial/final consonant deletion, assimilation, backing, gliding, etc.
    -Simplifications that children use
  2. Decreased speech intelligibility
    -May be misdiagnosed as apraxia of speech.
  3. Poor command of morphology
    -May not be able to express changes of word meaning at the morphological level due to phonological process disorder.
    -FCD impacts morphology

25
What is standardization?
– Studies that are completed to determine if the test is valid and reliable and if the information is able to be utilized. A minimum N Sample of 100 people per age grouping should be use
26
What is age equivalence/why would SLPs use this? Why would they not use this?
- A numerical representation of a person’s performance with regard to a specific age when the demonstrated skills are typically observed. -may be easier for families to comprehend -depends on the age of the child -may cause parents to panic and misunderstand what it really means
27
What is a standard score?
A numerical value that can be used to compare a person’s raw score on a test to the scores of peers
28
What is a percentile rank?
Commonly used in reports – A numerical score that expresses what percentage of the testing population scored lower than the person in question.
29
What is sensitivity?

30
What is specificity?
