Justin is a 7-year-old child who has been diagnosed with level 1 ASD. Since he was a toddler, he has had language difficulties. He has just transferred to your school, and speech-language services have been recommended. His parents are eager for him to begin therapy. After reviewing reports from previous schools, you meet with your school's team and discuss the best possible services. His previous language evaluation reports indicated that he has difficulties with comparatives (-er [bigger]) and superlatives (-est [biggest]). Problems with these forms reflect poor
morphologic skills
pragmatic skills
literacy skills
semantic skills
The SST believes that Justin might profit from the SCERTS approach to intervention, which involves
an emphasis on improving social communication, implementing on-going evaluation of regulatory behavior, and training syntactic skills for increased communication success
an emphasis on the importance of targeting goals in social communication and emotional regulation by implementing transactional supports
an emphasis on improving semantic communicative effectiveness, regulation of emotional state, and transactional environmental supports
a holistic approach that encourages social communication, effectiveness in regulating transactions, and successful dialogue with other in the environment.
Parents bring their son Derek to you. He is 30 months old and only says a few words. The pediatrician has told them to not worry and just give Derek time saying "he is a boy after all and they usually develop language more slowly". But Derek's parents are still concerned. The best recommendation would be
do nothing and follow the pediatrician's recommendation to give them time to develop
give them a home language stimulation program and tell them to come back in a year for a re-evaluation
recommend an immediate full evaluation of Derek's language skills
send Derek and his parent to a psychologist for an evaluation of his cognitive skills
You are working in a school and are told a new child with an IEP has transferred and will be needing language intervention. On her IEP, it states that she has a "pragmatic language disorder". Which one of the following problems are you most likely to see in this student?
difficulties in allowing a conversational partner to have a turn
problems using complex and compound sentences
vocabulary deficiences
word retrieval problems
Tonia is a 6-year-old with ASD. As you work with her, you find that she frequently says what you just said. For example, if you say "Tonia, point to the apple" she says "Tonia, point to the apple". What you are observing is Tonia's use of
extrapolated utterance
immediate echolalia
delayed echolalia
semantic replication

a preference for solitude and objects; lack of interest in nonverbal and verbal communications; tantrums; head banging; insistence on routines
a seemingly excellent vocabulary; normal syntactic skills; and speech that often seems to be "monologue" in which he does not allow partner to take turns
