to perform non-biased testing. IDEA requires that testing be provided in the language in which the child is most proficient.
|
|
|
What are the two ways to establish language dominance?
|
-observation: see if child interacts mostly in their native tongue, if rely in gesture in situations requiring english
-use structured questionnaires |
|

no, because they may be normed on a population that uses a different dialect.
|
|
|
How do we use standardized tests with CLD children?
|
we can use them as criterion referenced rather than for diagnostic (qualifying) purposes
|
|
|
What do we need to do to standardized tests when we use them with CLD children?
|
modify them, toss out culturally biased items. When we do so we need to include in the report on testing results what modifications were made and in what order the tests were administered
|
|
|
What is the parent child comparative analysis procedure?When is it used?
|
Administer same test to parent and child and then compare performance, if performances differ compare to age expectations. Deviations from standard english that dont match the parents/are not typically in normal development are considered aspects of a LD. Use when assessing child from a cultural group too small for development of local norms.
|
|
|
What information can we glean from a speech sample?
|
it can be highly useful to describe current functioning in the dominant language, ID goals for intervention and target these goals in intervention.
|
|
|
If similiar errors are made in both language and they significantly different from acceptable a possiblity exists that there is a ______. If performance in the home language is superior to English there is probably a ___________

yes, whatever their dominant language is this is what they should use
|
|
|
If there is a language disorder can it exist in only one language?

What can the SLP do in a consulting role with CLD children?
|
come up with a set of activities for the whole classroom which are curriculum based/address clients goals, activities can be translated into clients home language. Then SLP monitors progress in both languages to check when more activities can be introduced in English.
|
|
|
How can an SLP work with training paraprofessionals?
|
child centered approaches are easily taught and may be the way to go initially
