THE PEARSON COMMUNICATION SCIENCES AND DISORDERS SERIES Language Disorders in Children To learn more please contac Itumeleng Sineke 1.071 330 4975 | eS tami. sineke @ pears PEARSON 8 CHAPTER TWO Cinical implications of Emergentist Theory. An emergentis perspective can be used ‘to guide language assessment and intervention. A practitioner who uses an emergentis [perspective is likely to attend tothe inconsistencies in achld’s language and carefully note ‘emerging features, Intervention with this theoretical base would engage the child with ear sete feacures to foster systemwide change. The emergentis approach is consistent with ‘vo intervention approaches discussed in later chaprets: language recasting and focused stimulation (Poll, 2011). Experts have developed and debated the theories discussed above; these theories are crit cal to our understanding ofthe fild. This section of the chapter is not about language theory—rathes, ie discusses the five communication subdomains, a model of language development that I have created to help students understand how children move through the language domains form, content, and use. In my teaching, I find that many beginning clinicians struggle to understand where to stat with a child who has communication impairments. An experienced SLP can asses a child and fucly quickly determine whether the child needs to work primarily on tocial language (i.., pragmatics) ot word combi nations (ie. semantics), or whether the communication impairment involves the child's use of grammar and sentence complexity (i.e, syntax). To help students fearn clinical decision-making skills [train them to consider sequentially each ofthe subdomains when analyzing a child’s communication behaviors. So, after you review the information in Focus 2.3, ee me introduce you to the communication subdomains. "To understand the five communication subdomains, consider Figure 2.3. This figure proses form, content, and use in parallel boxes aligned in relation to four age groups: {nfant, toddler preschool, and school-age children. Form, conten, and use are represented by he lee-co-ight columns in Figure 2:3. The age groups ae shown from top to bottom Form, content, ad use are subdivided into five commanication subdomains: early prag- ‘matics, vocabulary, early word combinations, morphosyntax, and discourse. Practice your linical decision-making skills regarding form, content, and use by reading and thinking about the information in Foeus 2.4 FOCUS 2.3 Clinical Skill Building ‘As you learned in Chabter'1, form, con: tent, and use are typically presented in & ‘three linked circles. Th Tinked circles remind us thet the three
