SPEECH/LANGUAGE EVALUATION

Student Name: Samara Bennett

Date(s) of Evaluation: 5/31/2016, 6/3/2016, 6/6/2016

Date of Birth: 10/13/2009

Age: 6;7

Speech/Language Pathologist: Lindsay Maslak, M.S., CCC-SLP/LIC

Reason for Evaluation: This speech and language evaluation was completed as part of Samara’s reevaluation review.

History of Speech/Language Therapy (include level of service, pertinent medical information, hearing status):

Samara is currently classified as a student with a Speech or Language Impairment (SLI) and is enrolled in an inclusive

education first grade classroom at Frazer School. She currently receives speech and language therapy 3 times each week

to improve her receptive/expressive language skills and her articulation skills.

The Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals-Preschool (CELF-Preschool) and Goldman Fristoe Test of

Articulation (GFTA) were most recently administered to Samara in September 2013 to assess her articulation skills, as

well as her receptive and expressive language skills. At that time, she demonstrated a significant delay in her articulation

skills and a moderate delay in her receptive/expressive language skills. Since her original testing, Samara has demonstrated

steady progress with her speech and language skills. The results were as follows in 2013:

CELF-Preschool: Total Language-71

GFTA: Raw Score-17 errors

Observations/Academic Performance:

Samara willingly came with this evaluator and participated to her fullest potential throughout the speech and language

assessment. Samara’s evaluation is considered to be an accurate indication of her speech and language skills. She

independently asked for clarification and repetitions of questions, when possible, in order to fully understand what was

being asked of her. Her accuracy did improve with repetition and visual supports. Samara was able to easily initiate and

maintain a conversation during the testing and displayed a positive attitude toward testing. She does benefit from

encouragement when completing tasks, as she lacks confidence with her skills.

Samara is currently on a first grade level with her reading and math skills. She is a great student who can complete most

assignments independently. In the classroom, she can be very friendly and respectful, but does require reminders to increase

her volume so others can hear her.

Results of Cognitive Assessment: Samara’s cognitive abilities were most recently assessed June 2016 using the UNIT.

The results are as follows: Full Scale IQ-86.

Please refer to the full psychological report for specific details regarding Samara’s current and previous cognitive and

academic scores.

Oral-Peripheral Examination: Samara exhibits normal appearance and function of oral structures, which are adequate

for normal speech production.

level), Samara is considered to be 100% intelligible by peers and adults. She does require occasional reminders to increase

her volume and speak with confidence.
