The spoken word gives human’s an incredible advantage over other species, but for those that struggle with language processing, this “invisible difficulty,” can create countless challenges. What’s more, this problem often goes unnoticed and many of these students are misunderstood and mislabeled as inattentive, careless, lazy absent-minded, and defiant. What is a Language Processing Disorder? Language processing disorders are not uncommon, and it is a difficulty that impacts communication and social relations. This disorder can impact a student’s ability to understand language (receptive language) and/or express their thoughts (expressive language). Like many cognitive based challenges, it can manifest in a variety of ways. One student might struggle to outline their thoughts, while another might battle with accessing the right word or name from their memory banks, following a sequence of directives, or even maintaining attention. In addition, a student may experience difficulties with either receptive language or expressive language. Some struggle with a combination: expressive/receptive language disorder. Signs and Symptoms of Language Processing Difficulties There are a number of signs and symptoms that can serve as red flags for language processing problems. Common Expressive Language Difficulties: Develops the ability to speak later than most youngsters Struggles with weak vocabulary and learning new words Confusions with verb tenses Frustrates with word finding difficulties Troubles communicating thoughts Jumbles words and says things that are nonsensical Repeats themselves when telling stories or answering questions Difficulties expressing ideas in writing Common Receptive Language Difficulties: Appears disinterested or distracted when in conversation or social interactions Misinterprets or misunderstands verbal or written directives Appears shy or withdrawn Struggles understanding sarcasm or jokes Difficulties with reading comprehension Troubles telling jokes Getting Tested for Language Processing Disorders If the warning signs listed above describe a child, the next step is to pursue an evaluation. You can acquire testing with a local speech and language pathologist, or if the child is in school, one can request that the local public school conduct a free evaluation. Even if the child is in a private school, testing can be requested at your local school district. 12 Easy Treatment Options for Language Processing Disorders If a language disorder is present or suspected, individual sessions with a speech and language professional or educational therapist can help develop the needed skills. As another option, you can acquire tools that can help to develop these skills. Here are 12 different resources. If you select the title, you can learn more about these products.

This is part two of an activity I posted last week. My sweet client was able to identify which item from a choice of two was NOT in a category, but this takes it to the next level. Now, he will have to identify which item IS and which item IS NOT in that category. Cognitively, he understands what belongs in a category, but has trouble understanding and expressing the language concept of "not." Click here to download!

When you’re treating language disorders, getting quality sentences from your students can seem impossible. We know they have weak grammar; but when it comes to actually treating the issues…sometimes we’re left drawing a blank. I used to go back to the old, tired goals for working on pronouns and verb tense. I’d work on getting...
Are you involved in back to school mass kindergarten speech and language screenings or do you just require a quick screener for referrals? Check out this best-selling Kindergarten Speech and Language Screening that includes sections to screen: ✅WH questions ✅Receptive and expressive vocabulary ✅Grammar/syntax ✅Articulation ✅A speech/language sample Streamline your kindergarten screenings with this complete, time saving measure. NOTE: This resource now has a Google Slides(TM) version of the stimulus images for on screen administration. This resource now also has added Google Forms(TM) and Adobe Reader digitally fillable scoring forms making it ideal for remote teaching! See the instructions in the READ FIRST file within the Zip File, which still includes the static PDF of the screening measure. ⭐Rationale: This screening was created after many years of using a combination of screening forms and informal measures with kindergarten-aged students. Each year, for the past 16 years, I have screened approximately 50 pre-kindergarten students during our spring mass kindergarten screenings. Additionally, students are re-screened in the fall of their kindergarten year. During the spring 2016 mass kindergarten screening, this screening was used with over 125 pre-kindergarten students within my district. The screenings were administered by two district SLPs and graduate clinicians. Additionally, this screening was reviewed and used in other parts of the country by veteran SLPs. Following administration and review, feedback was gathered, slight adjustments were made, and suggested cut-offs were indicated. This screening is NOT norm-referenced. The administering SLP should use clinical decision making in order to determine local suggested cut-offs. Based on administration, the time per child is suggested as approximately 5-7 minutes, moving at a swift pace. *This product was updated in 2018 to include A/B options for selected items on the screening. Having options will allow for follow-up screening using varied vocabulary, as chosen by the administering SLP. Suggested Prep (using the screening file): These instructions are also included in the resource. Print either pages 1 & 2 (with suggested cut-offs) or pages 3 & 4 (without suggested cut-offs) and copy back-to-back to create the protocol. Copy as needed for the number of students being screened. Print pages 5 & 7 in color and on cardstock. Place picture options back-to-back in a sheet protector. One SLP reviewer suggested cutting up all the pictures on page 7 and laminating, as an alternate prep. *Note: Page 6 offers ”B” choices for expressive vocabulary and language sampling. Use as desired for follow-up. Page 7 includes both A/B choices on the prompt. All A/B prompts are also indicated on the protocol, as necessary, using “or” in the prompt. SLPs should only provide one prompt per administration. Optional pictures have been added for the articulation section. Copy page 8 on card stock for optional use. Suggested Use/Administration: The form included in this resource outlines suggested administration. Begin with a warm-up asking the child’s name and age and moving into the WH questions. Answers should be judged as correct based on clinical judgment. When administering the expressive vocabulary, use the pictures on the stimulus page (page 5 (A) or 6 (B)) and choose 2 from the set of 5 for numbers 1 & 2. For number 3, show the student the pictures within the food (A) or school supply (B) category and ask for the category label. Numbers 4, 5, and 6 do not contain pictures. Again, choose only one prompt (A/B) for each item. For the receptive vocabulary section numbers 1-6, use the 4 choice picture sets on the stimulus page (page 7 or NEW LARGER IMAGES ON PGS. 8-10). Ask the child to point to the picture following the verbal label indicated (give one prompt each administration-A/B choices are offered). The grammar/syntax section is a sentence repetition task. Ask the child to repeat each sentence verbatim. Items are suggested to be scored as incorrect if one error is committed. The articulation section includes early and later developing speech sounds at the word level. This is a word imitation task. Words intentionally do not have sounds underlined in order to listen to the whole word, making notes accordingly. Any part of the word that is incorrect, should be scored without credit given. Optional pictures have been added for the articulation section (page 8). The language sampling is optional and not scored; however, highly suggested in order to gain insight into intelligibility, voice, fluency, and overall expressive language. For this section, choose one picture from the stimulus page (page 5 (A) or 6 (B)) for number 2. Comments can be included within the section indicated. Student scores can be calculated and transferred to the top section for determining pass or fail/re-screen for each section. There is not a total screening score, rather sections can be indicated for further follow-up. Additional space is included on the form (back side if copied back-to-back) for speech/language sample verbatim dictation. Furthermore, the back side of the form can be used for a follow-up screening and/or teacher/parent comments as well as intervention information. A/B options are perfect for follow-up at a later time within the year! ⚠️ This is a Zip File. ❤️ Please click on “Preview” for a preview of this resource. ❤️ See what buyers are saying: "10/10!!! This is the BEST kindergarten screener, my entire district is using it now and we are all so happy with it. Thank you for this product!! "This was so helpful! It took the guesswork out of my screenings and the kids got through it without behavior issues. Thank you so much!" "Nice screening tool linked to the common core -- very much appreciated!" "I've used this tool to screen all of the kindergarten students at my school and love it! The tasks and pictures are familiar and pertinent and I love that it has suggested cut-off scores. This has definitely become my go-to for screenings!" "This resource was very helpful. I am not a speech pathologist, but I regularly have parents ask me whether I think their child should go through the speech screening process. Using this assessment, informally, allows me to provide a data driven and thoughtful reply. It is also useful for the speech pathologist on my site because I am able to articulate specific concerns prior to her screening process." ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Created by Sparklle SLP Make sure that you are following my store so you'll be the first to know about new products, sales, and freebies!

I have the hardest time thinking of short sentences on the spot when working on recalling sentences in therapy. I guess I just can't think and count that quickly! Here is a list of 3, 4, and 5 word sentences that you can use with any game or that you can send home as homework. I like to use games like Pop-Up Pirate that allow for lots of trials! Has anyone else noticed that it's harder for kids to recall questions than statements? I think their brains automatically want to answer the questions rather than remember the words.

“My child understands but doesn’t speak” is something that all speech pathologists have heard. While most of the time this is probably true, there are some cases in which the child has learned strategies to make it look like he is understanding when he isn't. I will show you how to detect true understanding.
