Samantha Abarca DLD Assignment (45 points) Case Study and WHO-ICF Watch the video below and answer the related questions. This is a chance to practice your clinical judgment! Please be sure to refer use this week's learning materials to help you frame your thinking. This assignment has two components: (1) a case study with three short answer questions and (2) mapping DLD onto the WHO-ICF with five short answer questions. Case Study Watch this video to see our client. (Finn) You can also copy and paste this URL into your browser: https://youtu.be/noP6N6J_lBM? si=pYiMwAVCLGQZnMZY The case-study questions are graded using the following rubric: ● 5 points: complete, accurate, and clear response ● 3 points: reduced completeness, accuracy, or clarity ● 1 point: incorrect response 1. What specific areas of language would you include in an assessment of this client with DLD? (Hint: refer to the tasks on the page Week 1: Diagnosing and Treating DLD). (5 points) In assessing Finn, specific areas of language to consider would include: ● Phonology: Assess Finn's phonological awareness and production skills. ● Morphology: Evaluate Finn's command of grammar and word structure. ● Syntax: Look at Finn's use of grammar and sentence construction. ● Analyze Finn's vocabulary and comprehension of word meanings in terms of semantics. ● Pragmatics: Assess Finn's capacity for contextual language use and social communication. 2. How would you describe DLD to Finn’s teachers? Make sure your response includes the nature of the disorder and what it looks like. (5 points) The condition known as developmental language disorder (DLD) causes difficulties for people in many areas of language development. Finn may experience challenges in

Samantha Abarca the areas of phonology (sounds of speech), morphology (word structure), syntax (sentence structure), semantics (words), and pragmatics (social interaction). Finn may need more assistance and comprehension in these areas in order to succeed academically and socially. 3. What might we expect to see in Finn’s language form, content, or use? (Hint: Watch the video on Week 1: Diagnosing and Treating DLD) ? (5 points) Finn's language use (social communication), content (vocabulary, word meanings), and form (sentence structure, grammar) may present difficulties. Finn might have trouble pronouncing words correctly, building sentences, comprehending word meanings, and using language in social situations. In order to support Finn's language development, it is critical to pay attention to and address these particular areas in intervention strategies. WHO-ICF Application Questions Functioning and Disability The Functioning and Disability questions are graded with the following rubric: ● Full points: complete, accurate, and clear response ● Partial points: reduced completeness, accuracy, or clarity ● No points: incorrect response 4. DLD may be related to impairments in which of the following body structures and functions? Choose 1 or 2 and explain why. (3 points) ● Voice, speech, or language functions ● Structures of the nervous system ● The eye, the ear, and related structures ● Structures related to the digestive, metabolic, and endocrine systems ● Mental functions ● Sensory functions ● Structures related to movement ● Functions of the cardiovascular, immunological, or respiratory systems 1. Structures of the Nervous System: The nervous system has a major impact on language processing and development. DLD is frequently linked to abnormal neural organization or functioning, which affects the brain's capacity for language comprehension and production. Language processing-related structural variations or abnormalities in the brain pathways may be a factor in the difficulties faced by people with DLD. 2. Mental Functions: Since language is a mental function, DLD involves problems with phonology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and other areas of language.

Samantha Abarca The onset of DLD may be influenced by deficits in mental processes linked to memory, language processing, and executive functions. People who have DLD may have trouble storing and recalling language, which can hinder their overall language skills. 5. Children with DLD experience limitations in communication activities. Which language components will be difficult for children with DLD? Choose 1 or 2 and explain why or how. (4 points) ● Phonology ● Semantics ● Morphology ● Pragmatics ● Syntax ● Literacy 1. Syntax: The arrangement of words to create sentences that follow proper grammar rules is known as syntax. Children with DLD frequently struggle with syntax, which makes it difficult for them to create and comprehend complicated sentence structures. It can be more difficult for someone with impaired syntax to communicate clearly and complexly, which makes it more difficult for them to express ideas and comprehend others. 2. Pragmatics: This field of study focuses on how language is used in social contexts, including how it is understood and used.Pragmatic language difficulties can be a problem for kids with DLD, which can hinder their capacity to communicate effectively, carry on long conversations, and recognize social cues. These challenges can limit their success in social interactions. 6. Which socially defined life experiences might be restricted due to those limitations? Choose 1 or 2 and explain why. (3 points) ● Conversation ● Acquiring language ● Solving problems ● School education ● Learning to read or write ● Learning to calculate ● Interpersonal relationships ● Economic self-sufficiency ● Work and employment ● Community life ● Recreation and leisure ● Religion and spirituality 1. Interpersonal Relationships: Children with DLD may find it more difficult to form and sustain interpersonal relationships as a result of linguistic and pragmatic difficulties.Ineffective communication can result in misconceptions, which hinders their ability to connect and interact socially with peers and other people. 2. School Education: Syntax and pragmatics are crucial for successful
