|
Referral by family member or IEP team, Observation (informal discussion), Assessment, Device Trials, Device Selection, Training, Maintenance, & Follow-up
|
|
|
What are the first steps to determine SGD?
|
figure out needs, figure out what the team wants to see happen? what has been tried? and what is currently being used?
|

|
background information, history (developmental and medical), psychoeducational/ SLP/ OT/ and or PT reports, as well as other providers esp SLP behavior

|
|
|
Which 2 domains of the LAP rating scale is NOT included out of physical resources, cognitive resources, emotional resources?

Health & environmental analysis
|
|

Name assessment instruments used to determine a SGD?
|
Functional Communication Profile (FCP), Communication Matrix, and Linguisystems
|
|
|
When assessing for a SGD, what do you look for?
|
what individual can do or access? can they use finger(s), palm, turn head, use right side? can they follow instructions? good with change (emotions)? what are cognitive skills, expressive/receptive language? is vision/hearing ok?
|
|
|
What is also taken into account when selecting a SGD?

portability, weight, mounting if needed on a wheelchair, durability, and maintenance
|
|

True
|

True. solutions in different enviornments must be figured out during trial period
|
|
|
After device purchase, why is it necessary to have a follow-up?
|
to offer more training or have a back-up method if AAC is not working
|
|
|
When should we start introducing formal AAC into a child's communication?
|
as soon as impaired communication skills is detected; use AAC right away to start training
|
|
|
Won't use of SGD stop children from learning to speak? What is ASHA's position?
|
No. ASHA's says AAC is to compensate for communication disorders, includes existing speech and purpose is to enhance communication
|

|
True or False? SGD should be slower than speech?
|
False
|

|
level of representation (object, picture), how many items/icons are sequenced, vocabulary, syntax, function (requesting, statements, questions, negation), pragmatics
|
|
|
Access, accuracy, and speed should be accessed to see if AAC is right for individual?
|
True
|
|
|
