Observation

Let’s dive a little deeper into the
process we, as SLPs, are going
through during each of the DA
components.

During testing, we are looking for
areas that are difficult for the child.
We are looking for patterns of errors
that we do not expect. We use those
for our teaching component.

During teaching, we are observing
how many and what kinds of supports
the child needs to be successful. We
look for responsiveness or change
with different levels of support. Did
they need a simple repetition to be
successful or did they need visual,
tactile, and auditory cues with
multiple repetitions?

When you are practicing the skill
together, do they take the lead or do
you still need to lead them? Are they
starting to self-correct errors that you
worked on?

On the retest, are they producing
sounds differently? Are they including
additional story grammar
components? Did they master the
skill you taught after your short
lesson?
