Action Picture Test (The Renfrew Language Scales)

Product Information

The project also aimed to raise the profile of the Children’s Centre within the local community, encouraging families to access other Children’s Centre services. Assesses children’s ability to produce various grammatically correct sentences. Children are given a picture and read a model sentence or the start of a sentence as a reference. One child made 26 months progress in comprehension. He started Spirals 14 months delayed and, 8 months later, was scoring more highly than expected for his age. A case study of this child is included as appendix 1.

PurposeThe Risk Assessment and Prediction Tool (RAPT) is an interesting instrument for predicting the discharge destination and length of stay (LOS) for patients after hip or knee arthroplasty. The aim of this review is to describe its predictive ability, current utilization, and future prospects through the analysis of scientific literature. Spirals is designed to be universal. Elements of Spirals could easily be incorporated into group times. Some settings are already doing this and seeing the advantages. Total joint arthroplasties (TJAs) are some of the most commonly performed elective orthopedic procedures for the management of osteoarthritis (OA). In recent years, the demand for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) is growing rapidly. Discharge destination was correctly predicted in approximately 75% of cases, in particular, in patients at highest risk for the need of extended rehabilitation, the accuracy is 89%. The Spirals project aimed to provide Children’s Centre input to a greater number of families in a wider variety of settings.of all children assessed were more than 12 months delayed for expressive language (information and grammar scores combined). (21% post) The Assessment of Comprehension and Expression can be used by a speech and language therapist to assess both expression and comprehension of language in primary school aged children to determine what areas of language children may have difficulties with and the specific language skills children are struggling with. The result of the assessment will highlight what areas the speech and language therapist can work on with the child to improve their language abilities. It must be noted that, for children with even mild speech and language difficulties, it would be unusual that they made the expected amount of progress in the allotted time. The quote below goes some way to explaining why this is the case. their peers in primary schools; they have to learn in an environment where the medium for learning is their major For the Spirals Parent Workshops, an invite was sent out to the parents or carers of each child. The invite explained the workshop and asked that an adult attend to support their child. It was suggested that if a parent couldn’t attend, an Aunt, Uncle or Grandparent could attend instead. The staff in the schools were very supportive and promoted the workshops to the parents and carers. The Spirals workshop consisted of a fun activity in which the parent worked with their child to make a language game that could be played at home. The parents then had an opportunity to observe or participate in a live example of a Spirals group. Time was given for questions and evaluation and an ‘Ideas for home learning’ sheet was given to each parent, suggesting simple methods for extending their child’s speaking, listening and understanding by using everyday situations and objects. The workshops took place in the schools and were run by Laura Halstead and supported by a teaching assistant or member of school staff.

This area includes some children who may have made more progress than the assessment was able to measure as it is only able to measure up to 8:0 years and 5:0 years for one subtest. The children to whom this applies were chosen to participate due to low levels of confidence rather than suspected language difficulties. She shows a positive interest in others and visually stimulating materials, but may be disturbed or distracted by auditory and visual stimuli. She requires specialist speech and language therapy input, devised and delivered by a speech and language therapist on a weekly basis and supported by an experienced multidisciplinary team.The table below shows the number of children who scored within normal limits or above for their age pre-Spirals (blue) and the number who scored within normal limits or above for their age post-Spirals (purple).

Children with SLCN (Speech , Language and Communication Needs) are at a major disadvantage compared to

Following the success of last year’s parent workshops, it seemed extremely important to extend the project again this year to involve parents and carers. Therefore, a final aim was to involve parents in their child’s communication development. The Spirals Language Program No feeding difficulties are reported. At rest the lips are closed, the tongue does not appear over large and she does not mouth breathe. There will be greater flexibility for children to move in an out of the groups as necessary this year.

If parents get involved with their child’s learning in Spirals, they could help to make the impact much greater, therefore, Laura will endeavour to build relationships with parents sooner by being around at drop-off and collection times, giving out home sheets to parents, putting on a workshop before the end of the school year and writing to parents more often to say how their child is getting on in Spirals.l 40% of 7-14 year olds referred to child psychiatric services had a language impairment that had never been detected
