Language & DLD
This component of language deals with the meaning of words and sentences.
What is semantics?
This federal law drives eligibility for services in the public education system.
What is IDEA?
This quick assessment identifies children who may require additional testing.
What is screening?
This psychometric property asks whether an assessment produces consistent results.
What is reliability?
A well-written clinical goal should include these four components.
What are behavior, context, criterion and rationale?
Morphology, phonology and syntax all fall under this major aspect of language.
What is form?
This part of IDEA provides early intervention services for children from birth to age 3.
What is Part C?
This type of data establishes a child's starting level of functioning and allows progress to be measured over time.
What is baseline data?
This psychometric property asks whether a test measures what it is intended to measure.
What is validity?
During therapy, a clinician records the child's performance trial-by-trial, including whether the child needed prompts or cues. This type of data is being collected.
What is treatment data?
A child understands what others say but has difficulty producing spoken language. Which language modality is primarily affected?
What is expressive language?
In the private sector, these two classification systems are associated with diagnosis and billing/reimbursement.
What are the DSM-5 and ICD-10?
Language samples, behavioral observations, functional assessments, curriculum-based assessments and dynamic assessment fall under this broad type of assessment.
What is informal assessment?
This score represents the total number of points or items a child earns before the score is converted into another type of score.
What is a raw score?
A clinician counts how many times a child produces a target word during therapy. This type of measurement is called this.
What is frequency?
A child's language is developing in the expected sequence, but at a slower rate than expected. This term best describes the child's language profile.
What is a language delay?
A 4-year-old receives special education services through their school district. The child's services would fall under this part of IDEA.
What is Part B?
An SLP repeatedly collects data throughout intervention to determine whether the child's performance is changing and whether the therapy approach should be adjusted. What purpose of assessment is being demonstrated?
What is progress monitoring?
This score tells you how far a child’s performance falls above or below the mean in standard deviation units.
What is a z-score?
This is information collected before treatment begins to see what a client can already do.
What is baseline data?
A bilingual child demonstrates receptive and expressive language deficits in both L1 and L2.
What is a language disorder?
True or False: If a child receives a clinical diagnosis of a language disorder, the child will automatically qualify for services in the public school system.
False
This type of assessment uses a test–teach–retest approach to examine a child’s ability to learn with support.
What is dynamic assessment?
This type of assessment compares a child’s performance to a group of same-age or same-grade peers.
What is a norm-referenced assessment?
A clinician checks whether a child can use a skill with a new person, activity, or setting. This shows whether this has occurred.
What is generalization?
