Clinical Simulations

Everett is a 6-year-old with Down syndrome and resulting communication and speech impairment. You are the speech-language pathologist assigned to provide his intervention session. This simulation is presented in partnership with Saltillo. The evaluation was completed independent of the Saltillo-Simucase partnership.

Eleanor is a 12-year-old who was adopted from China when she was 9 months old. She was originally referred two years ago by her school's learning specialist due to concerns regarding poor decoding and spelling skills. At that time, Eleanor was administered the SPELL-2 assessment and subsequently underwent a full language and literacy evaluation by a private practice SLP. She has been receiving weekly language and literacy intervention sessions with the private practice SLP targeting vocabulary, syntax, reasoning, and reading and spelling. Reading and spelling intervention has been provided using the SPELL-Links to Reading and Writing Curriculum. The SPELL-2 assessment was recently readministered to Eleanor in preparation for transferring services to you. You will be taking over Eleanor's case and providing intervention with the SPELL-Links Curriculum at your private practice. This simulation is presented in partnership with Learning By Design.
