Problem-solving is better in a team. It allows for us to gain different perspectives on an issue and learn from others about different ways one may problem-solve. Collaboration is also key when providing intervention services. By doing so, we get different perspectives on the development of the child. Collaboration includes input not only from our side, but also perspectives from family members and any other adults that the child is often around such as daycare workers, any outside services that the child may be enrolled in, and even our own team members. From there, one can determine next best steps towards fostering a child's development and get closer to achieving goals.
These are the final two presentations that I finished with my team members in my Collaborative Practice course. The first slideshow is what my group presented to other teams which gave an overview of what we as a group did for the project champion and reflected on the strengths and struggles that we had working as a team.
The second artifact listed is the final project which we turned in to our project champion. It consists of a comprehensive infant health curriculum for new and expectant mothers and includes information utilizing voice-over and PowerPoint regarding swaddling, hygeine, feeding, and milestones for a parent's newborn.
This artifact is the midterm for the Language Disorders II course and is a language assesment report. Throughout my coursework, I learned about language disorders and different assessments alongside other speech language pathologist students to be able to complete this report.
I examined the person's reports from the BASC-3, and their scores from IQ, Woodcock-Johnson IV (WJIV), Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing (CTOPP/CTOPP-2), Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals (CELF-5 and CELF-5 Metalinguistics), TAPS-4, Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT-5), and Expressive Vocabulary Test (EVT-3) for this write up which includes a diagnostic summary, diagnosis and reccommendations for the person evaluated.
I had the opportunity to collaborate and learn from a PhD Clinical Psychology student to create this pamphlet about children with dyslexia. On one side is information for parents, and on the other is information for professionals regarding signs, interventions and resources.
