Move seamlessly from easy assessment to clearly defined teaching goals with this new speech assessment tool.  

Created by experienced educators and clinicians, the Speech Assessment System has multiple uses, including:

1. ·      Developing intervention goals and objectives
2. ·      Monitoring progress
3. ·      Evaluating program effectiveness
4. ·      Gathering outcomes data, including data for insurance purposes
5. ·      Measuring generalization

 

Simple to administer, reliable, quick and easy to score, this system leads directly to the preparation of clearly defined teaching goals.

 

Unlike other articulation tests, the Speech Assessment System meets the specific needs of professionals in that it examines the full complexities of the student’s speech production and it is criterion-referenced, allowing for the identification of individual strengths as well as areas needing attention.

 

With a storybook-based screening activity is the core, professionals can profile the student’s speech, gather a language sample and examine the student’s use of independent language.

 

The Speech Assessment System program contains:

·      A pictorial storybook (A Day at the Lake)
·      Picture Cards
·      Assessment and analysis forms on tear-off pads
·      A manual including instructions, sample case studies, and supportive information on topics such as speech production, evidence-based practice, generalization and other topics

A speech production assessment tool for speech-language pathologists, deaf educators, and audiologists working with students ages 3 through 10 years, including cochlear implant and hearing aid users.

Spoken Communication
for Students Who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
A Multidisciplinary Approach
Diane Klein and Elizabeth Parker

The first NEW speech text in nearly 15 years, this book supports the instructional best practice of using a multidisciplinary team approach to develop spoken communication skills. (Teachers, speech therapists, parents, school district personnel and the STUDENT all work together within the classroom setting to establish, develop and support spoken communication skills.) The text works from the perspective that spoken language development is possible regardless of the type and degree of hearing loss or the educational program's philosophy.

This user-friendly book is written so that any member of the team can utilize its information. Chapters include: anatomy and physiology of the hearing and speech mechanism, hearing aids and cochlear implants, assessment, creating a speech-friendly classroom, instructional strategies in four primary learning domains, technology, and a chapter on including parents as partners on the team. The text is full of pictures, forms, springboard discussions, experiments, and practical ideas for use in school or at home.

Spoken communication for deaf and hard of hearing students comes to the 21st century for every member of the team.

Learn to Lipread
Virginia McKinney

Learn to Lipread is designed to develop skill through practice and thereby reduce frustration for those who cannot understand enough conversation to participate. This program is an excellent way to supplement the training from a class or a therapist. For those able to wear a hearing aid, lipreading (speechreading) supplements the linguistic auditory information received through the aid, particularly in noisy environments. For those lacking usable residual hearing, this practice could increase the amount of speech communication one is able to grasp.

This series consists of lipreading and auditory training lessons for adolescents and adults. It is available on DVD, together with a manual to provide additional practice.
