A practice analysis is the primary mechanism for describing the tasks or clinical activities, knowledge, and skills underlying the practice of speech-language pathology. The results of this analysis establish the job relatedness of decisions concerning standards, curriculum redesign, and professional certification.
Review current assessment strategies for children with severe speech impairment (ages 1–7), including possible CAS. Videotaped examples support the discussion, which emphasizes differential diagnosis based on diagnostic markers and interpretation of a child’s responses during assessment tasks.The relative effects of motor speech impairment and cognitive/linguistic skills on a child’s communication disorder are considered.
In the age of No Child Left Behind, speech-language pathologists are increasingly involved in the services provided to students struggling in the area of reading. Children’s spellings can be used to gain insight into a student’s word-level literacy skills, including phonological awareness, orthographic knowledge, semantic knowledge, morphological awareness, and the ability to store mental graphic representations.
Focus on treatment techniques for children with CAS (ages 1–7), with special emphasis on clinical decision-making for this population. Review principles of motor learning and the rationale for incorporating these principles into treatment. Implementation of treatment techniques is discussed and modeled in video examples.
Learn the fundamental principles of cognitive rehabilitation that underlie any successful dementia intervention with adults, and explore evidence-based, practical approaches for the appropriate measurement of functional treatment outcomes.
This program explores current topics in the development of such critical reading precursors as vocabulary knowledge, narrative ability, phonological awareness, and print knowledge. Aspects of the reading and writing abilities of elementary school students are also considered.
Ensuring that children identified with hearing loss receive recommended follow-up is challenging. This program explores the need for standardized data definitions and reporting for EHDI programs, how well a university hearing clinic is able to meet its follow-up goals, and issues surrounding the consistency of hearing aid use by infants post-identification.
Over time, multiple factors have eroded the deficit view of AAE, in favor of a difference perspective. This program explores the validity of the Index of Productive Syntax (IPSyn) for children who speak AAE, the type and adequacy of cohesive devices that are produced by school-age children who use AAE, and examines research initiatives that can expand knowledge about this population.
Speech-language pathologists play a critical role in the delivery of team-based, early intervention services to children from birth to age 3. Explore practices that lead to quality services in early interventions provided by SLPs—service delivery models, the role of the SLP, and family-centered intervention strategies.
Thirty-eight Let’s Talk handouts on specific topics provide a starting point for conversations with the speech-language pathologist and clients and their families. For those handouts addressing disorders, the intent was to provide some background information about the particular disorder but to primarily focus on how the SLP can help clients improve their speech, language, or swallowing. Topics related to assessment and intervention focus on the role the SLP plays in such activities.
Our women’s crew neck t-shirt is two-tone plum over pink, giving it a trendy layered look.
New! This brochure explains what SLPs do, where they work, and how to decide when it's time to go see one.
