CCC Language Disorders in Children 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which service delivery model places the SLP directly in the classroom to support language learning within the curriculum?
- Pull-out model
- Consultative model
- Collaborative classroom model (Correct answer)
- Telehealth model
Correct answer: Collaborative classroom model
The collaborative classroom (integrated) model embeds speech-language services within the general education setting.
Question 2: Dynamic assessment in language evaluation differs from standardized testing because it:
- Uses only norm-referenced scores
- Measures the child's response to mediated instruction (Correct answer)
- Requires no clinician involvement
- Only assesses expressive language
Correct answer: Measures the child's response to mediated instruction
Dynamic assessment follows a test-teach-retest model to measure the child's learning potential and responsiveness to scaffolding.
Question 3: Narrative macrostructure refers to which aspect of storytelling ability?
- Vocabulary diversity within stories
- Grammatical accuracy of sentences
- Overall story organization including story grammar elements (Correct answer)
- Sentence length in narratives
Correct answer: Overall story organization including story grammar elements
Narrative macrostructure refers to the overall organization and completeness of story grammar elements such as setting, problem, and resolution.
Question 4: Which intervention approach uses naturalistic contexts and child-initiated interactions to facilitate language targets?
- Discrete trial training
- Naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention (NDBI) (Correct answer)
- Drill-based practice
- Structured language stimulation
Correct answer: Naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention (NDBI)
NDBIs use natural, play-based interactions following the child's lead to embed language targets within meaningful contexts.
Question 5: A child consistently omits the past tense -ed morpheme in obligatory contexts. This is an example of a deficit in which language domain?
- Phonology
- Morphosyntax (Correct answer)
- Semantics
- Pragmatics
Correct answer: Morphosyntax
Omission of grammatical morphemes in obligatory contexts is a morphosyntactic deficit affecting grammar production.
Question 6: Which evidence-based technique involves repeating a child's utterance with a corrected or expanded grammatical form?
- Modeling
- Recasting (Correct answer)
- Prompting
- Scaffolding
Correct answer: Recasting
Recasting repeats the child's utterance with a grammatical or semantic correction without explicitly marking the error.
