Mrs. White I have been meaning to ask questions about the language analysis. Does the project have to be on a child who has a language delay? and can it be someone we are related to as long as it is not our own chil? I have a nephew who has some speech trouble.

It can be on ANY child who is in the stages of DEVELOPING language. In the past the cut off age was typically 4 or 5. One student did do her brother who has intellecutal developmental issues and is 20. However, the language analysis bore out many interesting details about ways he did and did NOT use language - areas in which his language had not perhaps YET developed.
Remember SPEECH is different from LANGUAGE. We are not going to be analyzing articulation or speech. We will be looking at WHAT the child communicates, the language, not how via speech.
The ideal ages to use would be 30 months to 4 or 5 years of age.
mrs.white,
so if we find a child with language "problems" we can analyze them?...if we get them approved by you, of course?
The child does not have to have "language problems." If you are currently working with a child who is older than 5 and you believe there would be value in evaluating their language (because it is problematic and still in the developing stages) yes, I ask you discuss that with me prior to conducting the activity and analysis.
This will only be of BENEFIT TO YOU as you are doing the analysis.
ok, thanks so much!
:]
