DAYC-2 Summary And Analysis

Diagnostic Test Critique
This Rossetti Infant-Toddler Language Scale is a criterion-referenced informal assessment used to compare the skills of a child to a framework of typical development. The scale is made for children ages zero to three years old. While the administration of the test is relatively easy to follow, the time to administer the test varies on the age of the child, but can range from ten to thirty minutes. I believe this assessment is practical as a measure of communication and interaction.

From the age of fifteen months through nineteen months Dominic’s physical, social, language and cognitive development has matured. Although Dominic’s physical development has matured, he is below the norms in fine motor development when he makes towers or puts together puzzles; His fine motor skills although match the norms (My Virtual Child). Socially, Dominic gets along with children well although he began to show separation anxiety around eighteen months. Along with the separation anxiety, he is securely attached to both parents yet he is less clingy and is interested in exploring (My Virtual Child). Dominic’s communication skills and language comprehension and production are typically developing. He uses the word me a lot and knows over 50 words which he puts into sentences such as “doggie outside” (My Virtual Child).

His attention span ha doesn't develop all the way yet because he didn’t last long at anything he was playing with. He was acting like a two year old where everything is his so he took over what the other children had without asking. With the social and emotional he was doing a lot of side by side play and not playing as interacting with the other children. He had fun playing by his self, but beside someone. He was using his physical motor skills, climbing up the climber just not making a good choice the way he was climbing. He was using fine motor to hold on to the toy and climb at the same time. He was using his hand and eye coordination to do the activities at he was playing with like the cars and poring the toys out the box. He had great motor skills moving along the classroom and picking where he wanted to go on. The language skills I really could not pick up on because he was not verbal just playing. Look like he was lacking in the language I heard another child being vocal asking the teacher what she was holding a conversation. He was helping his self to whatever he wanted didn’t need know help just playing and watching his friends. When he was parallel play, he was following the other child was doing. Typical Develop: The typical development that I noticed with Nick was the parallel play with the other children and not playing together. For 24 months the children “Enjoy being next to children of the same age and shows interest in playing with them, perhaps giving a toy to another child.” (Groark, McCarthy, &Kirk, 2014) Also with his language he did not do much talking just playing and the teacher should have talk to him more. He should have been talking to the other children but since he is at the parallel play he would be talking with just playing. I saw things I need and typical kids doing every day trying new things and things

The Battelle Developmental Inventory – 2nd Edition (BDI-2) is psychoeducational testing instrument used in special education to assess developmental disorders in infants and young children. This paper looks into how the validity, reliability and norms for the BDI-2 were originally developed.

A two year assessment is carried out between the ages of two and three. Parents/carers/guardians are provided with a short written summary of the child’s development in the prime areas. Within the progress

Neurological systems were also evaluated to identify any existing health or comorbidities promptly and to utilize interventions such as referral to neurologists, ophthalmologists, or speech pathologists if necessary. Developmental red flags, in this case, would include the inability to understand the use of action words and being unable to follow two-step direction (Bellman et al., 2013). This would be indicative of receptive language delay. Expressive language delays are characterized by a child’s inability to ask for things by name, use no less than 200 words, or repeat phrases in response to questions (Stevenson & Richman, 2016). However, none of these red flags was reported by the child’s

He demonstrates poor grammar and low reading skills, he is able to do simple arithmetic calculations, can think abstractly, and can follow simple instructions. He is typically oriented to where she is at, whom she is with, and what time it is although he was slightly disoriented when we spoke about his friends and parents. No noticeable deficits in his ability to recall information from various points in time were observed. Overall, he shows the ability to think rationally and make good judgments in regards to decision making.

The child selected for purposes of this paper is a 31 month old male and will be referred to as “Timmy”. The interview and questionnaire were completed in the presence of his mother. Timmy and his other currently reside with maternal grandmother and maternal step-grandfather. Maternal aunt along with her three children also resided in the home, but moved out one week prior to the assessment being completed. He scored very well in all domains of the 30 month ASQ, each score was within the typical range.

Their purpose is to determine what aspects of a child's verbal repertoire are weak and where to begin a language intervention program, which is done by testing the child's language skills (the mand, tact, echoic, interverbal, imitation, and visual performance) and presenting them with an increasingly complex set of receptive and expressive tasks. The primary goal of these language assessments is to identify a child's age-equivalent linguistic level, which are obtained by a comparison of the child's score on the test to the average language abilities of a large group of typically developing children. Language assessments that focus on age-equivalent scores, and the traditional receptive and expressive distinction, are less useful to parent and teachers who simply need direction for working with a particular child. Finally, we should never forget the role that an early intervention plays in the child’s language development. Barbera Introduction, presented how an early intervention is critical for working with children who have some severe difficulties with language, socializing or communicating. Because treatment programs are more effective when started at early age including disorders as mental retardation and pervasive developmental disorders like autism, which are considered the most difficult to treat by the American Psychiatrist Association’s

Listener responding was probed next. Brenden was able to looked 80% of time (or 8 out of 10 times) at his communicative partner. Then, the clinical team presented Brenden with playdoh. Fine motor skills where probed during playdoh activity, using playdoh scissors. Brenden was observed to have difficulty griping and using Playdoh scissors. Body parts where probed, he was successful at labeling his body parts (i.e. eyes, nose, ears, head, mouth, etc.). More communication skills were probed. He struggled with “What questions” with actions, he just echoed questions (i.e. “What are you doing?”). Colors where probed. Brenden was successful at labeling colors on his toys and clothing. Then, personal questions were probed, he knew his name, age, and parents as mommy and daddy. Finally, Brenden was observed to ask for attention by saying "Look" and upon departure, he said, “Bye” with no assistance/prompts.

Children with cognitive developmental delays see an impact on their normal growth. This impact is most often not physical, and can be much harder to spot, especially with very young children. Still, these cognitive delays in development can harm cognitive skills and thinking abilities. Delays in cognitive abilities often come from genetic defects or disorders, major medical problems fright after birth, or environmental exposures to harmful pollutants (WedMD 4). Whatever the cause of the delay, it can be seen in a number of signs that show how the young child is struggling to keep up with the normal cognitive development of other children their age. In children 1-2 years of age, delays can be seen in a lack of gestures, pointing to objects and the inability to understand the function of objects (WebMD 4). The inability to imitate words is another sign, which shows that cognitive delays are often correlated with speech and language

Potential impact of speech, language and communication difficulties on the overall development of a child, both currently and in the longer term 1.3 Speech, language and communication difficulties can have a profound and lasting effect on

Participants were 39 children, 19 from the ED Program and 20 from ABA services, aged 18 to 34 months. Assessments and treatment interventions took place in each group’s respective treatment center. Researchers used the ADOS instrument to assess communicative functioning skills. Zachor et al. (2007) concentrated on the total scores in the language, communication, and reciprocal social interaction domains of the ADOS. The Bayley Scales of Infant Development-second edition (BSID-II) was used for preverbal children, and the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale-fourth edition was used for verbal children. The ED intervention daily work and small group activities, along with individual therapy, occupational and music therapies, and structured cognitive teaching. This

The branch of psychology that studies the relationship between behavior and brain functioning is called neuropsychology. Moreover, neuropsychological assessment is involved in evaluating this relationship. One such assessment is the NEPSY. The NEPSY, which stands for “A Developmental Neuropsychological Assessment,” is a series of neurological tests that are used in various combinations to assess the neurological development of children ages three to sixteen years old. The interest in neuropsychological l assessment of children began as a result of the knowledge and experience of assessing adults with brain damage. Consequently, the first pediatric neuropsychological tests were normed on very small and very specific populations. When the NEPSY

The zone of proximal development has implications for assessment, especially concerning children with learning and behavior problems. Two children can
