Assessment Protocol
Develop a brief protocol for the assessment of
neurogenic disorders. The protocol should include the
following features:
- elicitation procedures
- description of observations to be made
- space for recording responses
The following assessment areas should be included:
- one page for review of medical history (a guide for
reviewing medical records)
- one page for interview questions (may be categorized
by disorder area)
- one page for assessment of the motor system
- one page for assessment of speech production
- one page for assessment of language function
- one page for assessment of cognition
- one page for assessment of clinical swallowing
assessment
Assessment Case Presentation
Given the historical
information provided, develop an assessment plan and
present the plan to the class.
Content
- Process for obtaining relevant history (how will the
information be obtained? from whom? include sample
interview questions)
- Formal observations
- Informal observations
- Estimated length of assessment session & number
of sessions required (if applicable)
- Brief role-play of one component of the assessment
(the specific component will be identified with the
historical information provided)
Format
- Develop a web page illustrating your assessment
plan
- Include on the page the historical information
provided as well as the plan
- Develop a 5 minute role-play to be presented during
the interactive class meeting. The role-play should
illustrate key behaviors of all participants (e.g.,
clinician, patient, care-giver, professionals)
Treatment Guidesheets
Content
- address each of the main disorder areas: dysphagia,
aphasia, dysarthria, apraxia of speech
- include strategies for addressing specific aspects of
each of the disorders (e.g., auditory comprehension,
intelligibility, delayed pharyngeal swallow)
- summaries of common standardized treatment
protocols
Form
- no more than one single page for each disorder
area
- font no smaller than 8 point New Roman
- use tables, columns, color fonts, margins, etc to
facilitate readability
- text and diagrams are both acceptable
To receive full credit for the guide sheets, there
must be evidence of integration of information and
thoughtful organization. Hint: Do NOT just reprint the
lecture notes in small, colored print
Treatment Presentation
Given the historical
information provided, develop a treatment plan and the
plan to the class.
Content
- List examples of goals targeting the impairment,
activity, and participation levels (including internal
& external factors if appropriate)
- Describe at least 3 treatment activities
- The activities described should fill the amount of
time typically allotted for a single treatment session
for the patient described
- Brief role-play of one treatment (the specific
treatment should be cleared with Dr. Clark)
Format
- Develop a web page illustrating your treatment
plan
- Include on the page the historical information
provided as well as the plan
- Develop a 5 minute role-play to be presented during
the interactive class meeting. The role-play should
illustrate key behaviors of all participants (e.g.,
clinician, patient, care-giver, professionals
Competencies
- Clinical swallowing examination, including oral motor
exam
- conducted in class on a fellow student
- will preferably use the developed assessment
protocol
- Observation and interpretation of videofluorographic
swallow assessment
- using the MBS training tape
- complete observation forms for the 5 test studies
at the end of the tape
- may be completed in small groups
- Two swallowing maneuvers (Mendelsohn and Supraglottic
Swallow)
