School-Age general info Flashcards
phonological awareness
***Owens
this term refers to the explicit awareness of the sound structure of a language or attention to the internal structure of words
Phonological awareness difficulties may be linked to________
***Justice et al.
later problems in reading and spelling
–especially if the child has SSD are phonological in nature and accompanied by difficulties in language are at the greatest risk for failing to achieve phonological awareness and eventually literacy skills
treatment for phonological awareness options (broad)
***Kirk & Gillon
treatment is generally designed to increase children’s awareness of the sound structure of language….(sound-blending, rhyming, alliteration)
always involve the _____ in therapy
the family
always for language skills the clint should focus on _____ lang and ____lang
***Hedge & Maul
academic and social language –the language needed for success in school and lang needed to be socially competent
children who are regularly introduced to books and readings will ______
***Owens
not only develop better language e skills, but will also perform better in the classroom
how do you reinforce language targets that are being taught?
use a multimodal approach —will benefit from seeing, hearing, and touching
***Roseberry & Mckibbon
with school-age children you always need to collaborate with ______
the classroom teacher
basic behavior techniques – treatment
**Hedge & Maul
- instuctions
- modeling
- prompting
- shaping
- manual guidance
- fading
- immeadiate, response-contingent feedback
treatment for children with telegraphic speech
expansion
“doggy bark”
“Yes, the dog is barking”
OR
extension
-adding in new information to what the child says
–can be done at home too
focused stimulation treatment
***effective for production and comprehension of the form — WEISMER & ROBERTSON
-the clinician repeatedly models a target structure to stimulate the child to use it….usually during a play activity, and is designed to focus on a particular language structure
milieu teaching tx
***HANCOCK & KAISER
this method teaches functional communication skills through the use of typical, everyday verbal interactions that arise naturally
—examples of the approach:
incidental teaching
mand-model
time delay
one way to do early language stimulation
joint routines or interactions
-clinicians can use routines such as peek-a-boo to establish interaction with a child —encourage the child to use the repetitive words, phrases, and sentences
joint book reading can help establish….
–allows for repetitive use and practice of the same concepts and phrases and is also helpful for establishing joint attention (& can help in vocabulary acquisition and a sense of story grammar in children)
-the clinicians stops at points containing target language structures and prompts the children to supply the appropriate words, phrases, or sentences
script therapy
***OLSWANG & BAIN
- good way to target to target different forms when reducing the cognitive form (imbedding it in a familiar routine – and can switch it up)
- nonverbal or verbal scripts and routine
Story grammar tx
***Larson & McKinley
-for children who have difficulty with the structure of narratives
- setting statements
- initiating events
- internal response
- theme of the story
- goals of the characters
- attempts
- direct consequences
- conclusion
how to treat complex grammatical forms?
recasting
-the child’s own sentence is repeated in modified form, but the clinician changes the modality or voice of the sentence rather than simply adding grammatical or semantic markers
–still can have the child model the recast, provide corrective feedback, fade modeling, reinforce correct imitations
reauditorization tx
repeats what the child says during language-stimulation activities
self-talk tx
***SINGER & BASHIR
the clinician describes her own activity as she plays with the child, using language structures that are appropriate for that child, the clinician might say something like “Look, I am putting the dress on the doll”
teaching literacy skills…. integrating _____ with _____ tx is very efficient
**Nelson
integrating literacy instruction with language treatment
with both language and written lang/reading therapy…the SLP should always do what??
should select the language targets in consultation with the teacher to better integrate language teaching with classroom instruction —-selecting target words, phrases, and sentences are especially used in the classroom and books that child is expected to read will be especially useful
family involvement in literacy tx
- –SLP should work work with the family on the importance of a literacy rich home environment and to provide the child with books, pens, etc.
- provide role-models by engaging in literacy activities themselves
- trained to read more to the child
- encourage printing the alphabet and writing simple words at an early age
TTR
type-token ration
TTR represents the variety of different words the child uses expressively, thus assessing the child’s semantic or lexical skills
for children 3-8 years old, the TTR is typical 1:2 or .5 —the total number of words spoken by the child during the language sample is usually about 2x the number of different words in the sample
what is a learning disability?
decreased achievement relative to expected ability levels (IQ)
- memory
- neuro disorders
- attention
- challenege with receptive lang
how does a child qualify as learning disabled? (according to the discrepancy model)
there must be a discrepancy between ability and achievement in one or more academic areas
“intelligence” vs achievement in classroom
-compare IQ tests to level of academic skills
LD according to adaptation model
a child is LD when there is a mismatch between the demands of the learning environment, and the capacity of the child’s neurodevelopment profile to meet those demands
***WABER
Oral language includes (6)
- phological structure
- lexical semantics
- morphological structure
- syntactic structure/semantic-syntactic relationships
- discourse structure
- supralinguistic parameters
written language includes what?
*** all of oral lang components PLUS:
- decoding/written word recognition
- reading comprehension
- written expression
—language in writing is more explicit and needs to be organized/clear
online memory retrieval higher in ______
oral language (compared to writing lang because the planning is hidden in written lang and the reader only sees the end result)
if language delays persist to age 3, then children especially at risk for ____
LD in school age
non-verbal lang disorder has trouble with
- trouble with visual tasks
- learn to read easily
- trouble reading social cues
- trouble integrative tasks – sees pieces and not the big picture
- speed of processing issues
ADHD language characteristics
- poor organization of oral and written discourse
- verbal disinhibition
- can take longer to automatize skills
(hyperactive kind related to difficulties in executive functioning, planning, and organization)
_______ is common in children who are referred for LD evaluation
speed of processing (WABER)
fluid intelligence
- deductive ability
- independent of education or acquired knowledge
- includes skills like: reproductive ability, acquired knowledge, and dependent on education/experiences
crystillized intelligence
- reproductive ability
- acquired knowledge
- dependent on education/experiences
—-ability to spit back what you have learned
WISC-4
provides scores that reflect functioning in specific cognitive domains and provides a composite score that represents general intellectual ability
WISC -4 subtests
- perceptual reasoning subtests (block design, picture concepts, matrix reasoning, and picture completion) —- RT BRAIN
- verbal comprehension subtests (similarities, vocab, comprehension, information, word reasoning) —LEFT BRAIN
- Working memory (digit span, letter-numbering sequencing, and arithmetic) — look at the pattens are strategies used here
- Processing speed (coding, symbol search, and cancellation) – R and L brain
literacy develops from….
**ASHA
- well developed oral lang skills
- accurate storage and retrieval of phonological representations
- familiarity and exposure to print conventions
- cognitive maturations
def of dyslexia
characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fleunct word recognition and proof spelling and decoding abilities
–deficit in phonological component of langauge
sometimes on cognitive testing…the child’s ______ is more important and reveling that scores
***KAPLAN
error patterns – can give us insight on child’s approach (why did you get it wrong?)
2 main routes in the dual route model of dyslexia
- lexical route
- phonological route
**Coltheart
lexical route
read the word you just simply know it/recognize it
phonological route
sound out the word and assign it pronunciation (never seen the word before in print or not in lexical groups/storage)
interaction between the phonological and lexical route
unknown written word –> assemble the phonological recoding –>”oh wait i know that word” –> then accesses the semantic representation
dual route model
- –regular words can be recognized by sight or by phonological decoding
- race between the lexical and phonological routes
irregular words must be recognized by _____ why?
by sight because phonological decoding breaks down
modified dual route
***EHRI
- sight recognition is aided by sound letter cues in the word–not only by visual configuration
- most words are only partially irregular
—letter sound cues connect written form of word to it’s pronunciation (based on prior experiences of phonological encoding)
reading by analogy
***Goswami
argues that as children develop a store of recognized words, they begin to read new words by analogy to known rime patterns
-found that very young readers could use known onset-rime patterns to decode new worlds
fountain/mountain example
instead of reading by analogy….Nation says that children us…..
the phonological primes of the rime pattern without really attending to the orthographic form
—ex: primed with “cone” kindergardeners are equally successful in reading “bone” or “moan”
connectionist theory
***Seidenberg & McCelland
relationship between spoken and written words learned gradually by forming connections between orthographic, phonological, and semantic networks
…with practice and experience in decoding particular orthographic forms, the connections become stronger and faster
semantic – orthographic – phonological
__________ is considered to be the core deficit in dyslexia
phonological processing
who is at risk for challenges in learning to read?
- children with early lang delays
2. children with early speech production deficits
3. children w/ a family hx of reading disorders
