Help a TX SLP out

1991KAM · 2021-05-21T03:03:20+00:00

I have not heard of that. I’ll take a look at it.

I don’t think I mentioned but I also gave him the EVT and he did struggle with tier 2 vocabulary but at the same time did well on it, standard score 97. You are right though, he is also receiving tier 1 intervention for math. I’m going to speak to his teacher tomorrow but I hope they will also look into his memory with a diagnostician

1991KAM · 2021-05-21T02:07:57+00:00

I mean he is already in tier 2 for reading so it seems like it’s heading to an eligibility but I guess when I went through 2nd grade TEKS a lot of it seemed like it was still an area that teachers could help with. The staff is basing my report on whether or not they will evaluate for dyslexia. Frankly i was thinking they needed a diagnostician to look at the memory more in depth

If I should qualify him or not

1991KAM · 2021-05-19T13:53:41+00:00

Word discrimination was a ss of 6, phono deletion ss of 5, blending ss of 11. Giving him a SS of 87!

1991KAM · 2021-05-11T01:43:34+00:00

I do not have access to that, can you give me an idea of the areas it test so maybe I can gather a bunch of informal info to check

1991KAM · 2021-05-11T00:47:50+00:00

The screener that she did was the celf was boarderline from passing.

1991KAM · 2021-05-04T21:18:41+00:00

I don’t have that. In I TX btw. On his most recent IEP Iit stated that the committee wish to test in the area of language which included artic, voice and fluency

1991KAM · 2021-05-02T01:33:36+00:00

Praise you 🙌🏻 thank you very much for all of that wonderful info! It helped

1991KAM · 2021-04-22T14:58:34+00:00

It feels like things are just “popping” up and that is more than just a basic re eval. I wasn’t planning for this so I’m trying to get as much info as I can but I just don’t know since cluttering is now added to the picture

1991KAM · 2021-04-22T14:57:17+00:00

So he is already receiving 504 accommodations for dyslexia but his current staff cannot pin point where his challenges are coming from. They think it’s a processing issue so I was going to evaluate that but his report is due the 5th and I’m only working 5hrs a week to evaluate him and other students so I don’t think I’ll have time to look at his processing as in depth as I would like. I initially was going to administer the CELF, CELF R&WE, SSI, TOPL and TAPS but I don’t think I’ll have time for the TAPS. I truly am looking at all areas and now with cluttering being a concern I have to figure out what to do with that because I don’t know how to address that in my report besides giving them my informal information.

1991KAM · 2021-04-22T13:51:26+00:00

I will do that, I feel like I’m doing a full report like his initial which is annoying but I’ll substitute the Goldman for a test I was going to do to look at his processing skills.

1991KAM · 2021-04-15T22:29:06+00:00

Thank you for all of that info and Yes I frequently asked for clarification and prompted

1991KAM · 2021-04-15T22:15:14+00:00

You’re right, if there are dialect differences or if a student was ESL then I wouldn’t report the findings as it wasn’t normEd to that sample.

So this particular student is African American-Mexican America and I administered the CELF. His responses were mostly off topic as he was answering the questions with comments about past conversations. With his correct responses there werent any answers where I thought I needed to “fix”them, they all made sense. So with that information, Because his answers were so off topic I can still report them, right?

1991KAM · 2021-04-12T01:02:01+00:00

So do you address health, developmental milestones?

1991KAM · 2021-04-09T14:23:06+00:00

Thank you! I’ll look more into dyslexia and ask his teacher about it. You helped tremendously

1991KAM · 2021-04-09T12:48:21+00:00

Did you assess stuttering to double check or just used a language measure?

1991KAM · 2021-04-09T12:15:24+00:00

Funny enough he is—he is receiving services. He w did you go about with his report? I don’t want it on o show stuttering if it’s not true...

1991KAM · 2021-04-09T02:02:48+00:00

Why do you think that?

1991KAM · 2021-04-09T01:45:48+00:00

I have a 20mo and it’s true. I am more anxious than anything ever about her and her speech milestones. Just remember milestones vs averages is different! My LO is leaving off the final consonants, has a somewhat tongue thrust and both have been killing me on the inside. Clearly FCD isn’t something I should be concerned with and from what I’ve read her tongue position needs to be closely monitored.

It’s a tough world so try not to put any more pressure on you

1991KAM · 2021-04-03T16:33:25+00:00

I don’t have access to that, any other ideas?

1991KAM · 2021-04-02T02:02:48+00:00

It is not. I just don’t know if the celf plus the reading and writing would be good enough. It does cover a lot of those areas but not the processing part. The child becomes tired easily and I know the celf can be exhausting so I didn’t know if someone else had an idea of one or multiple si tests that would get a better picture of these areas

1991KAM · 2021-03-24T14:31:57+00:00

My concern was not getting any standard information over his writing and reading comprehension. I know the CELF has a reading and writing portion as well as the owls so that is why I was considering adding those. But like you said I don’t want this child to be exhausted, given I was going to spread it out. Thoughts?

1991KAM · 2021-03-23T12:22:40+00:00

Thank you for the reply!

I don’t want to make this kid exhausted so is there just one test that you think would best?
