Welcome to SLP Nerdcast. We are here today with one of our unique SLPD on demand episodes. So these episodes are where we take questions from our members. So our members write in with their clinical questions. And our resident doctor of speech language pathology, Dr. Anna Paulamumi, does some research, finds some answers, and we Discuss them here on the show. So I am here today with Dr. Anapaula Moomie. Welcome, Anapaula. Thank you. So today we are answering uh a a member's question related to services and schools. We're gonna read her question aloud in a moment. Uh before we do that, I am gonna quickly read our learning objectives and cover a little bit of housekeeping. So today our learning objectives are describe quick and effective tools to assess children's language abilities through language sampling and narrative contexts.
And learning objective two, describe components of specialized language instruction. For anyone listening to today's episode who would like to learn more about our financial and non-financial disclosures, as well as any course disclosures, all of that information is available in the show notes as well as on the landing page on our website. The link to that landing page is listed in the show notes. Also, if you are using this episode to earn Asha CEUs, you can go to our website through the link in the show notes to take the post-test this course is being offered for 0.05 Ash to CEUs, which is a half hour of professional development. Okay, now that that is behind us, Anna Paula, do you want to read us the question that our member wrote in?
Yes. So our clinical problem comes to us from Sarah. And I'm just gonna read a a blurb and then give a little bit more context. And throughout my career, I have struggled with understanding my purpose in supporting general education students with expressive and receptive language needs. I often find myself questioning how to provide specialized techniques for these students, particularly those with a language foundation, but who are still behind their peers. My goal is to offer meaningful support without feeling like I'm merely acting as a teacher's assistant. And Sarah goes on to explain the language goals that she's worked on, some of the resources that she has used to tackle things like WH questions, vocabulary, descriptive language, basic concepts, and sentence expression and comprehension.
Which are areas that we know overlap with what um special and general education teachers address um through reading comprehension, through writing goals.
