IMPACT Social Communication Assessment Tool

 Hello SLPs!

I'm so excited to share with you a new FREE online rating profile for pragmatic language developed by Dr. Lavi, the creator of the video based Clinical Assessment of Pragmatics (CAPS).


EDIT: THE IMPACT IS ONLY FREE UNTIL FRIDAY 9/18


I've added a folder called "IMPACT" to the SLP Google Drive in the Evaluation folder. Within that folder is a slide presentation (please don't edit, make a copy for yourself), a brief training video (about 16 minutes) and a shell to use the IMPACT.


The rating scale itself can be accessed online here. 


I also mention in the video some caution for ELL students. Dr. Lavi responded to me shortly after I was finished creating the training video, so I've added her response into the slide deck.


Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this new tool! I'm in the process of utilizing it on a few cases myself!

Hope you are all well!

-Sara W.

Informed SLP Grammar Guide

Hey everyone!  The Informed SLP just released a free resource on their blog to help SLPs with targeting grammar forms in the therapy.  They've compiled a spreadsheet called "Grammatical Concepts of English: Suggested Order of Intervention." I've copied the link for the blog post below, and you can find the spreadsheet here . The Informed SLP Blog post:  https://www.theinformedslp.com/how-to/grammar-chart They do explain in the blog post that there are " no systematic studies have yet been completed that show which order of intervention is most effective." Even though this is the case, they've used the research that is available to try to describe logical sequences for targets. They  describe  how the information in the spreadsheet is organized  in the bl og post .  It looked like it could be helpful, so I thought it was worth sharing! -Janie

MSB Goals

Hey everyone! As I have been progress monitoring my students' goals, I noticed that sometimes the goals in MSB do not match the goals on their progress reports in esped. I was under the impression that MSB updated every day and would pull in esped goals. I'm not sure where some of the goals I've been submitting data for came from, because according to esped, my students don't have those things as goals. I hope that makes sense. Has this happened to anyone else?  Help! Lori
