This free Phonological Snapshot is designed to help speech language pathologists summarize a student’s phonological patterns or phonological disorder. This is especially helpful when writing present levels for an IEP, analyzing a speech sample for a report, or determining possible goal areas. Included is a table to indicate which types of speech sounds (stops, velars, glides, fricatives, liquids, affricates, nasals, and blends) a student is using and in what positions, boxes to indicate any sound substitutions or omissions, a place to record sample words and utterances, description of common phonological processes, and a vowel reference chart to assist in transcribing utterances. **Note: Thanks to your feedback, there are now two versions of the first page available - one with closed cells for each sound/position, and one with open cells! __________________________________________________________________ As with all of products in this store, this is copyrighted by Natalie E.

This quick cognitive screening evaluation is designed for speech-language pathologists in the medical setting - most likely in acute, rehab, or skilled nursing facilities. SLP grad students in their medical internship or SLPs doing PRN work may also find it useful! This is designed to be used when evaluating patients for the first in a medical setting to get a quick picture of their overall skills. It includes one page of directions, two pages of record forms, three pages designed to be cut into fourths and placed on a ring to fit in a scrub top pocket, and four patient stimulus pages. In the medical setting, SLPs may only have a short amount of time to get a baseline on a new patient; as such, the sections included are not comprehensive, but will show pattern of strengths/weaknesses that will help determine areas of treatment need, as well as help give a baseline to measure later progress against. Sections targeted include: - orientation to time, place, person, situation - previous levels of functioning - basic yes/no questions - complex yes/no questions - one step directions - two step directions - responsive naming - confrontation naming - divergent naming - simple reading comprehension - complex reading comprehension - auditory comprehension - daily math - problem solving - automatic sequences - picture description task ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As with all items in this store, this item was created by Natalie Snyders, MS, CCC-SLP, who retains all copyrights.

School SLPs, are you looking for a way to have your students assess their own articulation, phonology, or fluency skills? This series of 10 student self-rating and teacher scales for students in preschool through high school is exactly what you need! The eight student self-rating scales are designed to understand how students feel about their articulation, phonology, or fluency disorder(s), and may be used for students in preschool through high school. They are best completed in a therapy session with guidance and writing assistance (especially for younger students) from the SLP as needed. There are lower (pre-k through 2nd) and higher (3rd grade on up) versions of each scale. Additionally, there are scales for students with no previous speech-language therapy, as well as a version for those already enrolled in therapy. These are helpful to complete at the beginning/end of a school year, during the initial evaluation process, or before a student’s annual review meeting. ADDED FEB. 2021: FOUR EDITABLE GOOGLE FORMS FOR STUDENT SELF-RATING OF ARTICULATION/PHONOLOGY AND FLUENCY/STUTTERING! RE-DOWNLOAD FOR UPDATE. The younger versions of each scale are student-friendly, and involve the students rating various statements using smiley faces. (See thumbnails or this blog post for examples.) The two teacher rating scales are designed to be completed by classroom teachers regarding their students with an articulation/phonology or fluency disorder. These are helpful to have classroom teachers fill out before a student’s initial evaluation meeting or annual review meeting. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Make sure to follow Natalie on Facebook and Instagram (as well as subscribe to her blog) to hear about new products, updates, and more! • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • As with all of products in this store, this is copyrighted by Natalie Snyders.
