L4L Flashcards
T or F Kids with LLD often have a history of delayed speech and language development
True
Link to problems with oral language skills even if a child’s speech seems fine to most people
LLD
Areas of assessment for LLD
● Phonology
● Semantics
● Morphology
● Syntax
● Pragmatics
● Integrative thinking/higher language skills
Assessment Procedures for L4L
standardized tests and criterion-referenced assessment
show how a child’s performance is similar or different from other children
Standardized tests
establish baseline function, identify targets for intervention
Criterion-referenced assessment
What to do before an assessment for L4L?
- Case History
- Get school reports
- Create assessment plan
- Informal conversation for 5 mins
- Administer assessment plan
Assessment procedures for phonology
NWRT, PA, RAN
T OR F: Most students who have LLD do not have a lot of phonological errors, but have trouble performing phonological demanding tasks such as alphabet words and phrases
True
Assessment goals for early primary grades: (phonology)
Identify children who are at risk for reading failure and provide early, preventive intervention to avoid reading failure
Assessment goals for older students: (phonology)
If (+) reading deficits: phonological assessment is less
important, Evaluate other areas of oral language needed to support reading
Why do we need to target/assess phonological skills?
Aim for intervention - read and spell
Targets for intervention: sound blending, segmentation
Look at production skills in phonologically demanding contexts
Non-word repetition tasks
Good clinical indicator of developmental language disorders
NWRT
tests the ability to hear, recognize, and play with the sounds in spoken language
Phonological Awareness
Highly correlated with reading ability
RAN
Tasks for RAN
Name common objects presented in a series as rapidly as they can
Produce overlearned series (days or months)
Semantic Receptive involves the following areas
Instructional, Textbook, and Tier 2-3 vocabulary
Semantics Expressive involves the following areas:
Lexical diversity, word retrival, QUIL, semantic relations between clauses
Usually a picture-pointing format. Considered a static form of assessment. Measure what children already know
Assessment of receptive language (semantics)
