Title: "Community-Oriented Service for Comprehensive Assessment of Speech Sound Production in Children: Development/Implementation of a Sustainable Model"
Speaker: Emma Mueller, B.S., second year MS-SLP student and manager of the Speech Sensorimotor Development Lab, Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, University of Iowa
Diagnosis and intervention planning of Speech Sound Disorders (SSDs) in children is a challenging task that requires extensive assessment of speech and related capacities. The reality, however, is that Speech-Language Pathologists often do not have time or resources for the necessary comprehensive assessment (CA), and access to services may be limited. In this presentation, we will discuss a project set up to provide free CA for children with SSD in the local community through its implementation in an educational setting, detailing the process of CA administration, analysis, and reporting with case examples. Experiences– positives, challenges, and pitfalls regarding client expectations and CA administration, processing, and reporting in an educational setting– will be discussed with the audience.
The seminars take place every Friday from noon to 1 p.m. on Zoom.
