Description

3) Write a Paper
• Background Information: Provide background information about the child you are evaluating and the context of your language sample. You can make up a name to protect the child’s confidentiality.
o Info such as age, gender, developmental history, significant medical history, family (e.g., who he/she lives with, brothers and sisters, etc…), educational/daycare history (preschool, daycare, kindergarten)
o Report any known communication difficulties or delays.
o Context of the language sample:
 What was happening during the sample?
 Who were the communication partners during the sample?
o Other relevant information…

• Semantic Analysis:
o Indicate your child’s type-token ratio (TTR) results in your paper.
o Be sure to interpret and explain your TTR results and what they mean, as well as explaining what your findings mean in relation to their language development. For example, do they have strong vocabulary diversity, or are they using the same words repeatedly. Use your text, class notes, and outside sources to interpret data.

• Syntactic Analysis:
o Indicate your child’s Mean Length of Utterance (MLU) results in your paper.
o Be sure to state whether or not your child’s MLU is within normal limits and explain what your findings mean in relation to their language development. What do your findings say about the child’s development? Use your text, class notes, and outside sources to interpret data.

• Summary & Conclusions: Tie it all together. Combine your analyses with other observations such as conversational skills, narrative skills, theory of mind, sentence forms, play skills, etc. to paint a picture of your child’s language profile. Use your class notes and readings to cue you on areas you could be covering. This is where you can be creative and show your understanding and breadth of knowledge gained throughout the semester.

• APA: All papers must adhere to APA style. Grammar and writing style will be taken into consideration during grading. You should write the paper as though it were a formal, professional report. Papers should be free of grammatical and spelling errors. CITE PROPERLY throughout using APA style - be cautious. You do not need to cite the actual language sample, just outside sources (including class notes, text, etc.). You do not need to include an abstract, but should follow all other APA rules.

Use your class notes, information from your text, as well as information from outside sources to complete your analysis. • Syntactic Analysis: Calculate your child’s mean length of utterance (MLU). o Mark your calculations on your transcription. I will be checking your work to ensure that you have analyzed the utterances correctly. Partial credit will be given, so be sure to record all calculations and your process. Use your class notes, information from your text, as well as information from outside sources to complete your analysis. o I did this part. You only need to write a summery like the example I added on the other word documents about the findings(LAB3). I’ll attach the example in another word doc. It basically just talking about the child and how he is developing. Is he in the range? Comparing to his age? • • Interpreting MLU: Indicate whether the child is within normal limits using the norms table found at: http://www.speechtherapyct.com/whats_new/Early%20Morphological%20Development. pdf). Interpreting TTR: TTR at or below .25 can be considered restricted, or low variability, and at or above .80 is highly varied. For references: Early morphological development (n.d.). Retrieved from http://www.speechtherapyct.com/whats_new/Early%20Morphological%20Development. pdf • • • • • • For the TTR norms, cite as a course handout in text: (Wilson, 2017) and in References as… Wilson, K. (2017). Lab #3: Practice language sample [Class handout]. Retrieved from Blackboard. • • o 3) Write a Paper • Background Information: Provide background information about the child you are evaluating and the context of your language sample. You can make up a name to protect the child’s confidentiality. o Info such as age, gender, developmental history, significant medical history, family (e.g., who he/she lives with, brothers and sisters, etc…), educational/daycare history (preschool, daycare, kindergarten) o Report any known communication difficulties or delays. o Context of the language sample: ▪ What was happening during the sample? ▪ Who were the communication partners during the sample? o Other relevant information… o You can include here in information about autism. The child that I collected a language sample for has autism. He is 6 years old and he does not have any brothers or sisters and he is the first child in the family which has autism. His name is Ty lobez. Not a lot of interaction. He was busy playing and did not prefer to talk( you can add some characteristics of autistic people and why this may be common)

Language Sample Analysis

Background Information:

The purpose of this language sample analysis is to compare results between an autistic
child and a normal child’s language development. The language analysis sample is conducted on
a six-year-old male name Ty. The environment in which the language analysis sample is being
conducted is a professional office with stimulating toys. The language analysis is also designed
to analyze communications to determine language type taken ratio and uncovering the mean
length of utterance (MLU). Language sample analysis scores will be compared to known sample
size averages to determine deficiencies or delays in c...
