Improved Essays
Video #1
The first video is of an 8 year old boy, AA. Though this video does not provide background on AA’s speech and language history in order to make any concrete judgment, we may observe for potential therapy. This video also does not give a long enough language sample to fully conclude any assessment, although it gives the opportunity to begin comprehension of AA’s language abilities.
Viewing auditory comprehension as a child’s difficulty with multi-step instructions, listening, and having trouble paying attention, AA showed potential language difficulties.

At the beginning of this video the clinician is practicing social interaction, play, and emergent literacy with JJ. The first thing the clinician does is hands him some Plah-Doh and uses prompting to get him to ask “more”, which would insinuate requesting.

In the practicing taking turns she also repeats “walk” several times as if to model what he is supposed to say. JJ starts to reach for the other toys and the clinician uses this as expansion when asking what he wants, “what do you you want, oh you want shoes..” Shortly after the SLP creates a Mr. Potato Head out of the Plah-Doh and they go through requesting for each body part. The SLP repeats each body part multiple times in order for JJ to understand and hopefully imitate her. When they are finished with Mr. Potato Head the SLP uses the rewarding system to tell JJ, “Good work.” The SLP works on turn taking again when they are taking turns racing cars. During this JJ gets unfocused with a kitty and the SLP refocus him by saying “Okay, JJ’s turn.” Throughout the racing of the cars the SLP also uses the technique Self-Talk to describe what they are seeing. In this example she says, “Ready, Set, Go, broom-broom” as well as when JJ puts the kitty in the middle of the room she says, “Stay kitty.” JJ puts the kitty in his mouth to which the clinician says, “No thank you” so JJ starts to pretend to do so getting the SLP to use parallel talk saying, “Oh you're

    Many children and adults at some point in their life require therapy from a speech language pathologist (SLP). Debra Edgar states that the 24th Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of Individuals with Disabilities Education Act implies that “speech or language impairment was the most prevalent disability category” (par. 3). Speech or language impairment is becoming more frequent and the need for speech-language pathologists is growing. There are many concerns about the lack of speech-language pathologist and this all revolves around what people know about this type of therapy. The fact that communication disorders are “among the most common type of disabilities in the United States”, the knowledge people have of the profession needs…

    Learning vowels and developing phonemic awareness is a milestone often encountered with children associated with this disorder. Syllables that are not emphasised or contain similar sounds (e.g. free instead of three) may continue to cause complications long after other classmates have learned to correct themselves (Lucker, n.d. & Auditory Processing Australia, 2016). This can invoke lowering self-esteem and a sense of inferiority among peers. Support for APD children Direct intervention for APD (e.g. auditory training) combined with improved environmental settings and enhanced communication techniques in order to support and assist children can compensate for the difficulties experienced. Compensatory strategies, for example, would enable a child to recognise circumstances where their listening will be challenged and counter-tactics that could be used in such circumstances (Bidwell, 2016 & Bellis, 1997).…
