This document discusses speech and language impairments (SLI) in students. It defines SLI as a communication disorder that negatively impacts a child's educational performance. Common causes of SLI include anatomical, cognitive, genetic, neurological, and physiological factors. The document provides information on identifying and assessing SLI in students, working with speech language pathologists, and implementing instructional strategies to support students with SLI.
This is the presentation I developed for my understanding of speech impairments and factors involved with the disability. There are also examples of assistive technology devices that can be helpful for people with speech impairments.
This PPT aims to help the learner to give insight about Multiple Disabilities, Types of Multiple Disabilities, Causes of Multiple Disabilities, Treatment for Multiple Disabilities, Teaching Method of Multiple Disabilities.

6.1 What Are Speech and Language Impairments?
Students receive services for SLI more than any other disability except for SLD. This section discusses the difference between a speech impairment and a language impairment. It presents the definition for SLI as outlined by IDEA and discusses the prevalence of SLI in schools in the United States.
Defining SLI
Speech and language impairment (SLI) refers to a group of disorders that affect a student's speech or language skill and development. Language refers to the systems that people use to communicate with each other; it also refers to the meanings of words, and how words are assembled into meaningful thoughts. It can be oral (spoken), written, or even gestural. For example, in the United States, the gestural language of a "high five" usually signals "Congratulations!" Speech, which refers to the oral aspect of language, is how people express ideas or thoughts through sounds. Speech is the main form of communication for people around the world.
A language impairment is a disorder that affects how people understand or use words. This can mean that they have difficulty understanding what people say (receptive language) or that they have difficulty constructing thoughts or ideas (expressive language), or both. Receptive language refers to how people organize and understand information provided through oral, written, or visual means. Expressive language refers to how people construct the words, symbols, or gestures they want to communicate to others. A speech impairment is a disorder that affects the production of sounds and words.
The category of SLI incorporates a wide variety of difficulties, including difficulties related to articulation (pronunciation), fluency (flow of speech), voice, and language (which includes putting words and sentences into meaningful forms). Students with SLI may experience difficulties with speech or language, with approximately half of diagnosed students experiencing both (Seeff-Gabriel, Chiat, & Pring, 2012).
In the field of medicine, SLI often falls under an umbrella category called communication disorders or communicative disorders (as do hearing difficulties; Chapter 10 discusses hearing impairments in detail, as they have their own IDEA 2004 category.) Evaluations or diagnoses from medical professionals may use the term communication disorder, but schools will use the term SLI.
Students with SLI may have academic skills that are below average, average, or above average, but researchers have demonstrated that they often perform below students without SLI on assessments of intelligence, language, and literacy (Ferguson, Hall, Riley, & Moore, 2011). The effects of an SLI on educational outcomes vary and are dependent upon the student's specific difficulties. For some students, the impairments do not hinder learning new material or participating in classroom activities. Other students with SLI, however, have difficulty with working memory, which influences how they .

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

1. “Speech or
language
impairment means
a communication
disorder, such as
stuttering, impaired
articulation, a
language
impairment or voice
impairment, that
adversely affects a
child’s educational
performance”

Disabilities Education Act

Students with Speech and
Language Impairments (SLI)
By: Pantea
Goshtasb
2. As defined by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
(ASHA), a communication disorder is “an impairment in the ability to
receive, send, process, and comprehend concepts or verbal, NV and
graphic symbol systems.”
3. Language delay doesn’t
necessarily mean language
disorder!
Some children will
develop language skills at
a slower pace than their
peers but this doesn’t
mean they have an SLI.
However, parents should
be conscious of typical
milestones and pay
attention to the speech
and language
development of their kids.
Early assessment and
intervention is critical!
4. Causes of SLI’s:
Usually unknown
but potential
causes include
anatomical
abnormalities,
cognitive deficits,
faulty learning,
genetic
differences,
hearing
impairments,
neurological
impairments, or
physiological
abnormalities.
5. The cause of
speech and
language disorders
are usually
unknown but the
range of origins
includes
anatomical
abnormalities,
cognitive deficits,
faulty learning,
genetic differences,
hearing
impairments,
neurologic
impairments, or
physiologic
abnormalities.
6. SLI’s are the second
most common
category of students
served under IDEA,
between 6 and 21
years old.
90% of these
children are within
the range of 6-11
years old.
The total number of
students served by
speech-language
pathologists is about
5% of all school-age
children, 2/3 of whom
are boys.
7. Early assessment and
intervention is so
important!
The American Academy
of Pediatrics
recommends ongoing
surveillance and periodic
use of broad-band
screening measures.
In the absence of these,
most providers rely on
informal milestone
checklists. These lack
criteria and are probably
why only about 1 out of
4 children with
disabilities of any
kind are referred for
needed
assistance.
8. Warning signs for SLI during
infancy include challenges in
response to sound, atypical
birth cries, or limited
response to others and
progresses through the
toddler and preschool age
with limited comprehension
of spoken language and
difficult interactions with
peers and others as well as
delays in producing first
words and word
combinations.
9. At the elementary
levels, look out for
students who have
a hard time
following verbal
instructions, find
phonics and
structural analysis
to be challenging
tasks for them, as
well as issues
grasping new
information and
knowledge.
10. Teachers who work in
the secondary level
setting should
recognize the
warning signs of
students with
potential SLI, by
those who substitute
words, struggle to
grasp abstract
themes, and process
and produce
language
insufficiently, which
directly relates to
their reading skills
and academic
accomplishments
11. Assessment requires obtaining a sample of communication skills across settings
through many procedures. It is critical to collect information not only from
standardized, formal tools but also to gather more authentic information.
Typically, this includes case history information, parent interviews, checklists from
other providers, systematic observation, hearing screening, and examination of the
speech mechanism.
12. Negative self-talk is
a common trend in
children with
speech disorders so
to counter this,
teachers should
teach their students
to adopt positive
self-talk, in order to
build their self-esteem
and image
of themselves.
Affirmations can be
extended to all
students!
13. Instructional Strategy:
Assign students who have an SLI to a partner so they have the
opportunity to practice their speech skills with someone their age and
even make a new friend. Practice can only lead to improvements!
14. Instructional
strategies cont’:
Music
For example,
teachers can
intentionally
choose songs
that incorporate
certain
instruments or
objects so that
students have to
ask for them.
They can also
take out props to
peak interest and
let students act
out the plot of
the song lyrics.
15. Instructional Methods cont’:
Storytelling
Even though storytelling is
thought to only be relevant in
elementary school, teachers
in the secondary levels should
be encouraged to use it too.
While reading a story,
teachers should remember to
pause sufficiently to give
students a chance to speak,
praise them when they do say
something, expand on their
words and ask open-ended
questions.
16. Professional collaboration between the
teacher and speech-language pathologist
is of the utmost importance.
However, this doesn’t mean that a general-education
teacher should rely solely on the
pathologist to cater to their students with SLI.
It Is their responsibility to be well-informed about
these & other disabilities, to better understand
their class.
17. Language IN the classroom:
Theory that learning should take place in a child’s most organic
environment and should accompany other material that is
being taught.
The intention is to improve their language capabilities and take
whatever was learned in therapy and apply it within a
classroom space.
18. One option for service delivery is the community-based
model, where therapy services are provided
in places where casual communication happens
naturally, such as at home or on the playground.
This model works best for students with pragmatic
language disorders and those attending vocational
programs.
19. The consultation
model:
The speech-language
pathologist does not
interact with the
student directly.
Instead, he or she
will give guidance to
family, teachers, or
other school staff,
with information,
training or resources
to help the student
achieve and exceed
certain
communication
objectives.
20. SLI’s can potentially influence a child’s
social life.
If a student is embarrassed of his or her
impairment, this may lead to not speaking
up as much in class, for fear of ridicule.
It is the teacher’s responsibility to create a
climate where students with disabilities can
thrive, among their classmates.
