We're continuing our discussion of The Seeds of Learning by Tera Sumpter, M.A., CCC-SLP with chapters five and six. Chapter five covers assessment using Tera's cognitive processing model as a framework. We discuss how to assess speech development, phonological processing, language development, literacy, writing, math, and executive functioning. We get into what a comprehensive assessment similar to the one suggested in the book might look like in the school setting, including a multidisciplinary approach to assessment that might involve the speech-language pathologist, classroom teacher, RSP teacher, reading coach, and psychologist. Tera briefly explains her treatment approach using the cognitive ladder in chapter six. We discuss starting treatment by meeting a child where they currently are, then slowly and gradually increasing the cognitive load. We can't wait for Tera's next book, which will cover treatment more in depth!
