Functional Assessment Interview Word Document Form

Depends on the setting and the student.     In US public schools, after all the initial paperwork is done, the SLP typically plays with the child and tries to elicit some speech from him/her.    It's important to know what the child's spontaneous utterances sound like and how those utterances parse.    Unless the evaluation includes a hearing evaluation performed by an audiologist, the SLP will do a hearing screening on the child to see if such an audiological evaluation is warranted. If the child's developmental level permits, the SLP will administer some standardized tests which involve a lot of pointing at pictures and saying things in response to pictures.   With very young children, there are even a few standardized tests that involve object manipulation and parent report.    Standardized tests can be used to sample a lot of speech sounds and a number of specific language skills in a short time, and are also useful in comparing the child's performance to the performance of the (hopefully large number of) children in the norming sample that is used to create the test.   Finally, standardized tests provide scores that can qualify a child for school-based speech therapy under state and federal laws.    The SLP will also examine the child's mouth.    The SLP will have the child say "ahh" so he can check for the movement of the faucal pillars (those arch-like structures that flank the space between the teeth and the back of the throat) and soft palate (aka the velum, from which our wriggly little uvulas hang), which helps us make "k" and "g" and also separates the oral and nasal cavities so our speech doesn't sound too nasal.   The tongue will also be checked.    How high can it be raised?    How far down can it go?   Can it sweep from side to side?   There may be tongue-tie, but this condition isn't as common as most people seem to believe, and doesn't affect all speech sounds.   The SLP will also be interested in whether the hard palate is intact. and whether the way that the teeth are configured represent any obvious obstacles to making certain sounds.    I've made the oral exam sound complex, but in the initial exam, it's a screening that doesn't take very long and involves nothing more invasive than the occasional use of a tongue depressor. If the child just doesn't DO standardized tests, the SLP may play with the child with a tape recorder nearby, or better yet a video camera with a microphone, to record a speech and language sample.   Such a sample can useful for evaluating everything from pronunciation to sentence structure to stuttering to voice production.   The parent is almost always present during the evaluation, especially if the child is very young.    If the parent is a distraction, he/she can watch from behind a 2-way mirror if the facility is well-funded enough, or sit behind and away from the child if the setting doesn't have two-way mirrors.   But I generally have parents in the room with me during the evaluation, since their presence makes the child more comfortable. After the evaluation, the SLP will probably talk to the parent about the observations, but evaluating test results and language samples takes time, and will have to wait for a subsequent meeting.   There are legends floating around that this kind of testing is highly stressful for most children, but in the real world, this only happens if the child is extremely shy, which is not common in my experience.    For most kids, the testing is just another set of activities that the grownups have them do.    Children like getting little rewards such as stickers for doing this kind of work.  BUT if you're dealing with a very young child, say three years old or younger, you may be dealing with a child who gets antsy, sleepy, or clingy after about a half hour of testing.    A wise SLP will spread the testing out over a number of days for such a child, with no more than 30 minutes of testing on a given day.   Obviously, the procedures I have outlined don't work on EVERY child.    For example, children with motor disorders that are signNow enough to prevent speech and impair signalling should be tested by SLP's who specialize in augmentative and alternative communication.   Another example:   If pronunciation and spoken language tests that are designed for and normed on blind children are not available, the SLP may need to depend heavily on his/her analysis of the speech/language sample.   For children with complex needs, the SLP may simply be one of a number of specialists who test the child.   In hospital settings, the team may include an M.D. and mostly Ph.D's.     In school settings, it is rare for an M.D. to be part of the team and most of the specialists have Masters' degrees.   But I've seen good evals from schools and bad ones from hospitals--and vice versa.  And school personnel can get relevant medical information if the parent signs a consent for mutual exchange of information between the relevant doctors and the school team.   I hope that I've alleviated any anxiety you may have, and wish you and yours all the best.

The officer who interviews the visa applicant will usually speak and understand the most common local language. If not, another officer or a local consular employee will probably be able to translate. If the language is obscure enough, the consular officer might still find, somewhere in the embassy/consulate, an employee who has it.I remember an instance when the only employee who spoke both the primary local language and the very rare language of the visa applicant was one of the oldest, shyest, most reticent, lowest-level gardeners. He was so proud of the officers’ need of and appreciation for that rare skill that one time, that he began to dress better, stand straighter, feel and act more confident, and volunteer for and learn from special, complicated jobs. He eventually earned a permanent promotion to head gardener and did an excellent job at it.

PBS Practice. Methods of Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) Functional (behavioral) assessment (FBA) is a systematic process for gathering information in order to determine the relationships between a person's problem behavior and aspects of their environment.

The Efficient Functional Behavior Assessment: FACTS is a brief, semi-structured interview for use in building behavior support plans. ... The goal of the routines' analysis is to isolate routines during which problem behavior reliably does and does not occur.

A Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) is a process that identifies specific target behavior, the purpose of the behavior, and what factors maintain the behavior that is interfering with the student's educational progress.

There are three specific functional assessment methods: (a) Direct Observation, (b) Informant Methods, and (c) Functional Analysis.

The Functional Assessment Interview (FAI) is an important part of a functional behavior assessment. The FAI consists of a series of questions designed to gather information about a child's behavior. ... As someone who works closely with the child, you might be able to answer many of these questions.
