Module 4 - Unit Standard number 119469 Read/view, analyze and respond to a variety of texts ( Has Questions and Answers) Children with specific language impairment (SLI) have a language disorder but: - Correct Answer>>Everything else is within normal limits Normal intelligence: nonverbal IQ of 85+ Normal hearing Normal oral structures and oral motor Normal social abilities No neurological problems Specific language impairment - Correct Answer>>There are 3 types of SLI 1. A major receptive language delay: a problem understanding/comprehending the language of others 2. A major expressive language delay: a problem expressing or using language 3. A major delay in both Receptive language: language comprehension - Correct Answer>>Children understand words and sentences that others use In the video: the child points to the picture that her mother names Expressive language: ability to use words and sentences - Correct Answer>>Children use words of their own to express language They acquire words in their expressive vocabulary In the video: the child uses words to answer questions Specific language impairment - Correct Answer>>Weiss 2001: only 25-50% of children with specific language impairment at age 4 (late talkers) will have long term disorders SLI: prevalence in US: 7% Some researchers say SLI occurs more with males but others disagree A gene locus has been identified in families with a history of speech and language disorders As a result, children with SLI are likely to have a family member wth a language disorder Norm referenced language tests - Correct Answer>>SLPs : spend 21% of their time conducting evaluations Use norm referenced tests 80% of the time Norm referenced tests: compare children's abilities to that of their peers via test norms to answer: does the child have a language impairment For most referenced tests - Correct Answer>>Average overall score = 100 Standard deviation = 15 An overall score of 85 is 1 SD from the mean: 100 - 85 = 15 An overall score of 70 is 2 SDs from the mean: 100 - 70 = 30: 30 is 2 SDs (2 x 15) from the mean A score that is two standard deviations or more from the mean indicates a language disorder Therefore, on a test with a mean of 100 and a SD of 15, an overall score of 70 or lower indicates a language disorder Some say that an overall score of just one and a half standard deviations from the mean indicates a language disorder However, most suggest that an overall score of two standard deviations or more from the mean indicates a language disorder Norm referenced tests - Correct Answer>>1. Preschool language scale (PLS-5) Ages birth - 6:11 years Tests auditory comprehension Receptive language and expressive language Tests a full range of language skills across the developmental language spectrum Links a series of home communication questionnaire items directly to test tasks to serve as baseline for testing Frees testing time to observe natural interactions between parents and children from birth - 2 years Address needs of children through age 7 with severe, persistent deficits such as autism or severe developmental delays Also available: PLS-5 spanish - ages birth to 7:11 - captures bilingual children's language skills in a single score - administration: examiner interaction and verbal response to object and picture stimuli - completion time: 20-45 min (spanish) and 20-65 (dual) - scores: total language auditory comprehension expressive communication standard scores percentile ranks language age equivalents Norm referenced tests: clinical evaluation of language fundamentals - Correct Answer>>2. CELF-4 (clinical evaluation of language fundamentals) Ages 5-21 years Tests: semantics syntax memory and pragmatics Sub test scores are combined to capture: - an expressive language score - a receptive language score - an overall composite score Includes 7 subsets: - recalling sentences - formulated sentences - word classes - word definitions - understanding spoken paragraphs - sentence assembly - semantic relationships Norm referenced tests: test of language development intermediate - Correct Answer>>3. TOLD I: test of language development intermediate 4 Ages: 8 to 17:11 years Tests: semantics morphology and syntax 6 sub tests: - sentence combing - picture vocabulary - word ordering - relational vocabulary - morphological comprehension - multiple meanings Sub tests are combined to compute an overall composite score Development intermediate sub tests (TOLD: I) - Correct Answer>>1. Sentence combining; the child is to form one compound or complex sentence from two or more simple sentences spoken by the examiner (grammar speaking) 2. Picture vocabulary: the child is to point to one picture (of six per card) that best represents a series's of two word stimuli (semantics listening
