incomplete grammar, less flexible
2. comment - stereotypic, less frequent
3. Presupposition - problems determining what others need to know
,4. Turn Taking - Shorter, take longer, less assertive
5. respond - less, unrelated, inappropriate
6. Speech Style Adjustments -few adjustments
Published Pragmatic Tests:
Tests to administer: - Answer -- Test of Pragmatics Skill (TOPL -2)
Published Pragmatic Tests:
Systematic: - Answer -- Rosseti
- PLS - 5
_ Shipley & McAfee
Published "overall" language tests: - Answer -- preschool language scale -5
- clinical evaluation of lang. fundamentals
- woodcock - johnson Test of achievement
- test of lang. development
Systematic Observations: - Answer -- descriptions
- role - playing
- imaginative games "what if" "why"
- use common household items: vaccum cleaner, dust rag, shopping basket, tea set.
- tea party/picnic task
Organizing a systemic observation: - Answer -- based on the questionnaire and later
interview
- review developmental stages & ages
- Select a parent interview format test and or a developmental test
- select activites and / or toys to accomplish your goals
Collecting a Language Sample: - Answer -- play with quiet toys
- audio / video record
- limit use of yes / no ?'s
- follow the ch.'s lead
- engage in parallel talk about the toys and activities in the immediate environment
- introduce topics related to past, present, and future
- use similar toys to ensure consistency
- bring in Browns 14 motphemes to assess structures in 3 obligatory contexts
- aim to obtain 175 utterances of 7-10 minutes of conversation for a 3 year old
Coding a language sample: - Answer -- stuttering is marked as a repeated effort at a
single word, code word once
- fillers (oh, mmm) are not counted (no, yeah) are
- compound words, proper names, and ritualized reduplications are counted as one
word (birthday, choo - choo)
- Irregular Past tense is counted as one morpheme
- Diminuatives are counted as one (doggy mommy)
, - Auxillary + catenative verbs are counted as one (is, have, will, hafta, gonna)
- Plural -s, -ed, -ing are counted as one
Things to consider when coding a language sample: - Answer -- high rate of repetition
(20%) ak if the MLU is truly representative
- repetitions that make different when included or excluded by .5 MLU consider
excluding
- High number of answers to questions in sample
- High number of speech routines (counting, alphabet)
- High number of clauses that include and
Reporting Language Sample Results: - Answer -- state # of utterances collected &
analyzed
- proved the child's age at assessment
- provide the MLU of the child
- provide the MLU expected for a child of his / her age using normative data from
Miller,1982
- Make a statement about whether or not the ch.'s MLU is WNL or NOT
- make a decision about the presence / absence of a language impairment.
