Back with the Goldman Fristoe in Spanish!


Hi everyone,

Another Sunday and I've got the Goldman Fristoe Test of Articulation in Spanish (3rd edition) for today's assessment walkthrough and review.

If you are familiar with the GFTA in English, it's helpful because you know what to do with this assessment. In the video I compare both the Spanish protocol to the English one. I think it's valuable potentially as a teaching tool for SLPs who might think if I test speech sounds in English only, it's fine. Well, in the video I show you how many differences there are.

My only criticism of the GFTA in Spanish is that although you can look at vowel errors in Spanish, they don't list the diphthongs, which I find are the ones that students struggle with, if they struggle with vowels.

Hi everyone, I have a couple more evaluation videos to continue my assessment series (that abruptly dropped off in June, whoops!). I will be done with the series in a few more videos. But now I'm sharing your least favorite assessment: the PLS5. I actually like this assessment, which makes me an outlier, I know. I don't think I've EVER met an SLP that likes this assessment. But it does structure some play elements for a play-based assessment. However, I think it's important to consider this...

Long time no see, friends! My last emails came out in June when I was on a roll with a new video every week. But July got busy (college visits with my older son and also work work) and I didn't have time to edit my videos or send any emails. I guess that's just life! Looking over my analytics, I can see that no one really wanted to watch my assessment videos. That is okay, I will rebound lol! I'm really putting them out there for the world to find them when they need them. And I'm thinking...

Hi everyone, This week I'm walking through the TOLD I:5 for students ages 8 through 17. I think of this test as a tough test partially because there is only one subtest with visual support. However, it's much faster and feels more academic than the CELF5. What do you think? Watch: TOLD I:5 Full Walkthrough I think there is a place and a time for most assessments and this can give you some information that can help you plan intervention for older students. ********* Back when I was providing...
