An SLP Graduate Student’s Analysis of Language in Children with Speech Sound Disorders
No full textPurpose
Students in allied health professional (AHP) programs are instructed in evidenced-based evaluation practices and participate in interprofessional education and practice in order to identify disorders (e.g., speech, language, gross motor, fine motor) and provide effective treatment. The purpose of this paper is to present a small-scale research study of one graduate student in an AHP program that trains speech-language pathologists.
Method
A graduate student used retrospective methodology to examine the language skills of nine children with speech sound disorders (SSD) to determine if language impairment (LI) co-existed. The student learned and used a method of language sample analysis known as Sampling Utterances and Grammatical Analysis Revised method ([SUGAR], Pavelko and Owens, 2017) to examine the language skills of children with SSD.
Results
Results of this examination revealed that 6 of the 9 children with SSD exhibited deficits in language skills. This finding supports previous research into the co-occurrence of SSD and LI (Hayiou-Thomas et al., 2017).
Conclusion
Identification of LI is the important first step toward provision of language supports and interventions as part of a multidisciplinary educational team. Training students in AHP programs in diagnostic procedures can facilitate the student’s ability to 1) accurately diagnose speech and/or language impairments, and 2) collaborate with other members of the assessment team to develop an appropriate intervention plan. Instructors in speech-language pathology (SLP) graduate programs can consider teaching alternative methods of LSA such as SUGAR, and other AHP programs may consider searching for valid, reliable, efficient alternative methods in which to train students
Interprofessional Health Fairs: An Effective Tool for Interprofessional Education?
No full textPurpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether interprofessional health fairs have a significant impact on the interprofessional education of students in health care disciplines.
Methods: An optional survey was administered to students participating in the health fairs in 2021 and 2022. The survey utilized four retrospective pre and post ICCAS assessment questions to address IPEC core competencies and two open ended questions to provide feedback about the health fair and report anything new learned from or about another health care discipline. The self-assessment questions were reported on a 5-point Likert scale and recorded in aggregate for both the 2021 and 2022 health fairs.
Results: A total of 56 students completed the survey in 2021, and 44 students completed the survey in 2022. Based on answers to the four ICCAS questions related to IPE skills and abilities, an average of 79.5% of students in 2021 and 85.8% of students participating reported a positive (agreed or strongly agree) perception of their skills before the health fair. Following the health fair, an average of 94.2% of students in 2021 and 91.5% of students in 2022 responded positively to the post-event ICCAS questions. A statistically significant difference was found for the 2021 data and the two years combined, but no significant difference was found for the 2022 data.
Conclusion: Interprofessional health fairs offer an enjoyable and effective learning environment for students while also providing valuable services to the community
