Language Therapy Observation
Nicholas was also observed during the afternoon in his speech and language therapy session. At the start of the observation, Nicholas entered the room with another student (his brother). Mrs. Dufek, Nicholas’s speech and language therapist, gave Nicholas and his peer the option of working on the carpet or around a table. Nicholas and his classmate decided to sit at the table. Once the two students took their seats, Nicholas pulled out his snack as a speech game was introduced. Nicholas ate his snack as his peer explained the game to the observer.

Once the speech game began, the students were asked to name words that started with a certain letter.
Nicholas correctly named three words that began with the first letter he was given. On the last

    Mrs Singh and her husband speak minimal English. This would firstly be a barrier between the MDT staff present at the meeting and themselves. The MDT team are using jargon and large words that neither Mrs Singh nor her husband can understand because of their lack of English language. They would have to try and guess what was being said through body language, facial expressions and tone of voice. What is being said can be completely misunderstood and can make the situation a lot worse. In this scenario a translator would have been effective in breaking the barrier between Mrs Singh, her husband and the…

    Spoken Language Study

    Spoken language and web-based communication have similarities and differences. Spoken conversation is when a person is talking to somebody directly (live event), either face to face or from a distance using a device of communication e.g. mobile phone. With spoken conversation, there may be overlaps as the person that you are talking to may interrupt you if they disagree on your conversation or would like to make their point heard. Also, when using spoken communication, the person may stutter, as it isn’t planned and because the person is thinking of what to say next whilst talking, they wouldn’t concentrate on what they are saying presently or how to start the next sentence. Fillers, which are utterances, are used to fill silence in between sentences (“um well”), and are only included in spoken conversation, not in web-based communications. An example of spoken conversation would be Skype because if you are on video calls, you can talk to someone face to face and see what they are doing, see the person’s reactions and get quick replies. Another example would simply be a phone conversation because you are talking to the person, at the time.…

    At this site I observed an Occupational therapist. A new role I learned about occupational therapy was preparing the family in their transition home. Before this rotation I knew that OT’s specialized in ADL’s, but I assumed that it was the social worker’s responsibility for their transition home. During my observations, the OT discussed with a family their living situation. This included one or two story home, tub or bath, bed size, hallway width and a lot more. After this experience I want to learn further about the different roles within the team especially the role of a social worker. During my time at Ranken Jordan, I briefly talked to a social worker and their role seemed unique. Their job focused on advocating for the patient and making…

    After the observation I felt the stress the Occupational Therapist was feeling. I was able to see she was not able to do more class room activities with the student who had a behavioral and physical problem, but I saw she was able to calm the student down before the student became even more agitated and aggressive toward others. I believe the OT accomplished not to have the student's behavior escalate more than what they could have been. I felt the OT ended on a good note with calming the student down before he returned to his class room.…

We reviewed the day’s plan as I helped him clean up. While cleaning around the room I noticed how colorful the room was. There were: banners of letters and numbers hanging on the wall, as well as a large alphabet carpet on the floor for the kids to sit on, toys to play with and books to read. As the children arrived, they removed their belongings and placed them in the cubbies. Afterwards, they grabbed their name tags and set their lunchboxes on the lunchbox table. I played with the kids until class started at 9:00…
