How do we improve referrals that we are getting from teachers?

Bilinguistics Team — Tue, 11 May 2010 00:37:09 +0000

Getting good referrals for speech and language evaluations is not always easy. In a perfect world, every referral would result in qualifying a child with an impairment. Teachers are often frustrated and overwhelmed by the process. Here is the form that we have been using in the schools to improve the process and make life easier for our teachers.

How do we better diagnose our speech kids?

Bilinguistics Team — Tue, 04 May 2010 00:22:15 +0000

We’ve been talking a lot lately about how to better diagnose and serve our speech disordered students. Dodd, who we find to be very useful, divides students into 3 phonlogical groups and then articulation. This following study does a really important thing; while they only divide students into two groups (speech only and speech with learning disabilities), they have the end game in mind and are focused on how the disorder will affect academic abilities and outcomes.
