Language Sampling: The Heart and Soul of Language Assessment

Language Sampling: The Heart and Soul of Language Assessment

SLP

Language samples are considered one of the best ways to learn about a child’s language system. Unfortunately, clinicians receive varying degrees of training in language sample elicitation, transcription, and coding, and there are few opportunities to develop expertise in sample analysis unless one works in a research lab. In this talk, Drs. Pavelko and Oetting will provide an overview of the heart and soul of the language sample, sharing evidence-based procedural advances that can save a clinician time and linguistic advances that can help a clinician appropriately code and interpret children’s utterances across various dialects of English.
