Lecture 3 Flashcards
What are the different assessment possibilities
> Screening> Comprehensive appraisal (Core procedures= required and optional procedures = not required)
What is the purpose of screening?
To identify the need for further assessment
What 4 things are involved in the Core assessment?
- Case History2. Oral peripheral exam/screen3. Single word testing (Artic/phonology)4. Spontaneous speech
Give summary of option procedures in assessment
> Stimulability testing (important for TX)> Contextual facilitation testing (important for TX)> Vowel testing (proposed core)> Phonological awareness (important for DDX)> Speech motor Testing (important for DX/DDX).> Auditory discrimination tests (important for DX/TX)> Cognitive Appraisal (not S-LP domain)
What does informal screening involve?
- Collecting language sample (observing play, reading passage, giving information - address + name, or rote counting/color naming) > Speech perception screening> Vowel Screening > Consonant screening> Speech Characteristics Rating
What are some formal screening tests and how long is each?
> Hodson Assessment of Phonological Patterns (HAPP-3) (preschool and school age) 2-5 min> Sunny Articulation Phonology Test (ipad app) - Evaluation of Articulation and Phonology > (DEAP) -10 items -5 min> Schedule for Oral Motor Assessment (SOMA): 6 months to 2 years (oro-motor control and dysphagia).> Language Screening 1. Clinical eval of language fundamentals-4 screening test; CELF-42. Preschool Language Scale-4 Screening Test (PLS-4)
What is deaps assessment process
> Articulation Ax is followed by a motor screening> Phonological assessment * if consistent ur done* if inconsistent run oro-motor screening
What are the 3 purposes of assessing?
> To identify a disorder and associated areas of difficulty (diagnostics)> To select/revise treatment approach(es) and set long and short term goals> To monitor progress (may include treatment efficacy and decisions regarding discharge)
What is the progression of steps from theory to measuring outcomes?
Theory > assessment > diagnosis/ differential diagnosis > Treatment > Outcome assessment
In the first step of core assessment, What are some possible things to cover in a case history
General identification info (name, age, gender, contact info, caregiver info)Birth history:(pre/peri/post-natal, jaundice, cyanosis, trauma, APGAR score 7-10 normal)Communication: (1st word/phrase? Intelligibility? Fluency, speech characteristics etc)Hearing: (Otitis media?responds when called from different room? Follows instructions? etc)Developmental: (motor milestones-crawl, situp, walk, self-feed? etc)Medical: (Seizures, asthma, allergies, measles, high fevers etc)Educational /School: (Any concerns from teacher?)Psychosocial: (siblings, other adults at home, playmates, strategy for handling frustration? type and level of play, attention, joint attention, intentional communication etc-tx prequisites)Dental: (any concerns?)Nutrition/Swallowing: (drooling, tongue thrust, gagging, head extn for liquids –gravity use etc)Areas of concern identified by Care Givers, othe
What are the two different assessments within the oral mechanism exam (core assessment)
Assessment of structureAssessment of function
Single word testing (core) is usually _____-elicited encouraging _____ production
picture, spontaneous
List some advantage and disadvantage of single word testing
> Easy to administer and score> Fast & Quantifiable data> Control of inventory (syll structure, IMF positions etc)> Pictures usually interesting > provides standard score
List some disadvantage and disadvantage of single word testing
> not representative of connected / natural speech.> Single word tests poorly correlated to speech intelligibility > Often only a single opportunity to produce each sound in each word position exists (attention confounds) > Not all word positions tested for each phoneme > don’t look at vowel production & few clusters
List 5 phonological and articulation assessment tools commonly used in clinical settings
> Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation-2 (GFTA-2; GFTA-3)>Structured Photographic Articulation Test (SPAT-D)>Diagnostic Evaluation of Articulation and Phonology (DEAP)> Hodson Assessment of Phonological Processes – (HAPP-3 ed.)> Khan–Lewis Phonological Analysis-2 (KLPA-2, 3)
