You are collecting a case history on a 6 year old boy - you are interviewing parent or guardian to discuss what their concerns are and the developmental history that pertains to motor and speech skills, complications at birth, diagnoses and meds. Which model does a case history relate to?
medical model
You’re doing an evaluation on a kid and collect data about how well they attend to a task; if they can attend really well for 20 minutes in the evaluation, and the informant reports the attention span is good at school but at home the child can’t focus on a task for more than a few minutes, what model does this realte to?
systems model
During an assessment of artic skills, the child was able to produce plosives in the initial and medial positions, not so much in the final. With visual and verbal cues, he learns to use plosives in the final position 50% of the time. What model involves shaping with visual and verbal cues?
behavioral model
what is the preferred method of data collection?
vertical data collection
You are evaluating a 9-year-old girl who has difficulty following directions and completing homework. You gave attending diagnostics on 2 different dates, she passes screenings both days.

poor test reliability

equipment is available in all settings
this system is convenient to operate but may distort sound
portable audio tape recording
concurrent validity
the degree to which the measurement achieved agrees or concurs with other measurements taken
ex: if you give 2 language tests would you see consistent errors on both?
predictive validity
how well the results predict how the client will perform in some other place and time in another task
ex: “if they can’t do this, can they do that?; sound blending errors and reading scores
horizontal data collection
data collection system that is considered shallow because too often errors are made because marking run together and you can’t distinguish plus from minus
vertical data collection
data collection system that is organized and has response sheets so that data can be organized easily
explicit
type of instuction that requires clear and specific details and definitions (utterance)
implicit
type of instruction that does not require specifics (head nod, smiles, pointing)
