Children need experiences in which they are surrounded by rich oral language. When children are given experiences with language at a young age they are being prepared for reading and writing. Children learn language as a natural part of development through their everyday conversations with people who care for them.…

    As a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) my duties and responsibilities were that of offering special rehabilitation to children with any type of disorders, from speech to learning disabilities.

Many of the children in which I treated all differed in the type of behavior they presented, the therapy and or modification of their reformation would greatly fluctuate depending on the case of each child.

    After completing this assignment, I’ve learned several ways to adapt to the children and help them succeed to the best of their abilities by helping them take responsibility and become more independent. I plan to use this information to shape my interactions with children when I become a teacher.

I see this in my focus child through questioning, interrupting, and simply talking to her peers.…

    As a speech pathologist in early intervention and in the education arena, I have assessed a diverse population of children birth-three years old, as well as school aged children. When choosing an assessment instrument, I consider multiple factors to include, how long does it take to administer the instrument, what is the age of the child, are there co-existing disabilities, will the parent or caregiver be available to provide information. The Preschool School Language Scale- Fifth Edition (PLS-5) and the Battelle Developmental Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-2) are both designed to address the communication development in young children. Both assessments allow for parent interview, observation and elicitation from subjects as means to administer the instrument.…

    Not only did I hear spoken language while at Peace Lutheran, but during eating time sign language was used. There were three of them that I saw during all of the eating times. They had a sign for done, more and please. The caregiver that was asking the question would first say the word, and then sign it to them and the toddlers would respond with what they saw or what they actually wanted. For an example, if they wanted more, but the caregiver signed done, they would sign back that they wanted more.…

    Early Years Officers use a range of ‘milestones’ or indicators to ensure that a child is developing positively. It is expected that an infant will start babbling (as discussed previously) around 6 – 9 months with their first word being produced approximately 1 year – 15 months. Their vocabulary should also be expanding, from 50 words at 12 – 18 months to 300 words at ages 2 – 3. Children should be responding to their own name, using gestures and understanding simple instructions. If the child meets these targets it indicates positive language development.…

    Oral language development refers to the process and stages a child will go through while learning to communicate through spoken words. This process occurs over many years and varies from child to child. Oral language skills begin to develop in babies as they listen to the people around them speak and eventually the child will begin to use language on their own. How quickly a child’s vocabulary grows is greatly influenced by how much the parents talk to their child; however sometimes other factors can be involved such as a mental or a learning disability. Oral language development is critical because it is the foundation of literacy development.…

    I love working with a diverse range of families. Each family that we serve has unique needs and desires for their child. I really enjoy the process of getting to know families, helping them develop a plan that aligns with their vision for their family, and shaping that plan as they travel their road in Early Intervention. Perhaps what I enjoy most is when I see how a family’s time in Early Intervention has empowered them to understand and advocate for their child.…

    The Rossetti can be administered by anyone in the assessment and intervention team; it does not have to be administered by a speech-language pathologist. The only qualification is that the evaluator has a thorough knowledge of child development and communication skills. The instrument can be administered in the home, at school, in the clinic, in a hospital setting etc., as long as the child is comfortable in the setting and there are few distractions. The caregiver should also be present during the assessment to make the child more at ease, and to comment or report on the child’s behaviors.…
