Exam 3 Flashcards
Entire process of ST services
screening
assessment
therapy
discharge
assessment includes
case history
hearing screening
speech mechanism
standardized tests
non-standardized tests
for < 3 years old
main purposes of screening
- to answer a BROAD problem/no problem question
- to determine if an individual would benefit from further evaluation
screening procedure
typically occurs before an assessment
intended to be quick
pass/fail
examiner determines criteria
formal or informal
screening: parent, teacher, caregiver report
informal screening
screening: observation
informal screening
screening: SLP samples
informal screening
screening: single word tasks
informal screening
screening: reading samples

screening: reading samples
informal screening
screening: other clinician-constructed measures
informal screening
screening: diagnostic screen
formal screening
screening: FLUHARTY-2
formal screening
screening: Speech Ease Screening Inventory
formal screening
Should screening be the formal test?
NO
determines if there are enough red flags to warrant an evaluation
a purpose for screening
screening can result in:
recommend monitoring for speech and re-screen
referral for a comprehensive speech sound assessment
recommend a comp. language assessment, if language delay or disorder is suspected
“process of collecting valid and reliable information, integrating it, and interpreting it to make a judgement”
assessment
the process of arriving at a diagnosis
assessment
can be synonymous with evaluation and/or diagnosis
assessment
purpose: to obtain a good understanding or diagnosis of a client’s problem
assessment
purpose: to identify need for referral to other professionals
assessment
purpose: to identify the need for treatment
assessment
purpose: to determine the focus, structure, length and frequency of treatment
assessment
purpose: to monitor the client’s progress in treatment and describe changes in the communication disturbance
assessment
comprehensive assessment, evaluation
case history
hearing screening
speech mechanism examination
speech sampling
standardized assessment
possible additional screening or comprehensive measures
case history
can be obtained via intake form via patient/family interview, review of previous medical records, & conversations with other treating professionals
facilitates: gaining a preliminary and general understanding of the client
case history
facilitates: formulating interview questions for clarification
case history
facilitates: determining areas of communication to assess
case history
facilitates: planning assessment procedures to administer
case history
facilitates: developing an appropriate diagnosis
case history
areas of case history
pregnancy & birth, medical, developmental, educational, family history, social history
size, symmetry, and appearance of the head and facial structures
evaluation of the speech mechanism
silent breathing: closed mouth, no clavicular breathing, breathing during speech
evaluation of the speech mechanism
the oral and pharyngeal cavity structures - teeth, tongue, hard and soft palates: a blue tint may suggest a submucous cleft
evaluation of speech mechanism
functionally assessing the speech mechanism - the movement pattern, range of motion, speech
evaluation of speech mechanism
diadochokinetic rates: to test the speech of movement of the articulators
evaluation of speech mechanism
norm-referenced tests
standardized speech assessments
compare child to standardized norms
standardized speech assessments
administration is dictated by an Examiner’s Manual
standardized speech assessments
Client is typically shown a picture and instructed to name the object
standardized speech assessments
responses are transcribed and recorded on test protocol
standardized speech assessments
provide an identifiable unit of production that examiners can more easily transcribe
standardized speech assessments
result in statistical scores
standardized speech assessments
pros of standardized speech assessments
easy to administer and score
time efficient
assess all English phonemes
child cannot apply avoidance strategies
examiner knows target production
norm-referenced
cons of standardized speech assessments
single word responses
not enough for a comprehensive phonological analysis
limited the contexts
do not account for coarticulation
vowels are not usually tested
single word articulation tests
test all english phones in all sound positions:
prevocalic
intervocalic
postvocalic
prevocalic
consonants that precede a vowel (CV) and initiate a syllable (Soap, Cat)
intervocalic
consonant that is embedded (VCV) between two vowels (caMel, eaGer)
postvocalic
consonants that follow a vowel (VC) and terminate the syllable (soaP, caT)
used for children who are highly unintelligible and have multiple speech sound errors
phonological tests
analyze error patterns across words
phonological tests
assist in differential diagnosis of speech sound disorder
phonological tests
age of Goldman Fristoe Test of Articulation-3
2;0-21;11
gender-based norms
Goldman Fristoe Test of Articulation-3 examines
articulation in words and sentences
intelligibility
stimulability
can be used with the Khan-Lewis test
