Description
Note: ASHA CEUs cannot be reported to ASHA unless your ASHA member number is included in your profile. Language sampling is a useful tool both in research and clinical practice. Using it enables clinicians to gain insight into everyday communication abilities. The author outlines current applications of language sampling analysis, focusing on sample length and time-based variability. They propose a method for studying and accounting for variability in language sampling analysis. Using this method, clinicians and researcher will be able to estimate how large a sample is required to minimize some sources of variability and increase the reliability of the measures being used. AccreditationThis course is offered for 0.10 ASHA CEUs
(Intermediate Level, Professional Area).
Purpose of Activity
To gain knowledge about variability in language sample analysis (LSA) and how Reliable Change Index (RCI) can help analyze language samples to measure reliable change in client performance.Learning Objectives
After completing this continuing education activity you will be able to:
- Describe variability in language sample analysis (LSA).
- Identify a method to understand the effects of variability in determining reliable change over time.
- Explain how to use Reliable Change Index (RCI) to make therapeutic decisions.
