Document Summary
Philosophical basis for screening: individuals with the greatest need for additional testing and probable intervention will be identified from a sample of their speech and language. Screening test cannot: determine treatment targets and strategies, estimate prognosis with and without treatment, monitor change (may not be sensitive enough, identify maintenance factors. Purpose: determine need for treatment and the direction of therapy. Often use multiple sample types: syllables, words, phrases, sentences, phonetic contexts, elicitation contexts (picture naming, imitation, conversation, also often include connected speech when possible. Most common tests = single word naming: single word naming: Known target sounds: typically correlated with spontaneous speech. Single word naming limitations: number of trials (single productions, number of contexts and positions sampled, reliance on nouns. May include cues and strategies: stimulability testing can help determine. Treatment targets based on performance on stimulability testing. Prognosis with and without treatment (as follows: error patterns (or process) identification:
