1. Key domains of language assessed and their importance to the client:Alexander et al., (2014) stated that there are five different domains in language. Different domains help a language to set rules of communication in society for various situations. The five domains of language are Semantics, Syntax, phonology, morphology and pragmatic. Thefirst domain, which is semantics, is a branch of linguistics that deals with the meaning of any word. It is the study and interpretation of any word that helps a learner to understand the meaning of any sentence properly (Cantwell et al., 2014). With the help of this domain, one can relate the words with the concepts. In the domain syntax, the main concern is basically, on the pattern and the way of making sentences. It follows some specific rules like subject, verb, and object format in English. Using the proper syntax, the words in the sentences are placed together appropriately to make it understandable to readers. The next domain is phonology and it deals with the sequencing of words. With the help of this domain, it is possible to understand which word will be there after any particular word to make a sentence error-free and understandable to others. This is the smallest unit of language that refers to the shape of syllables and an improper use of phonology, the meaning of a sentence can be changed also. Phonology is very important in forming any sentence perfectly. The fourth domain is morphology. This focuses on the structure of the words and the grammar of any sentence. With the help of this domain, it is possible to improve and modify the word meanings. The fifth domain which is the last one is, pragmatic. This domain is very much important for children when they learn to speak. A child learns to speak by looking at the faceof the speaker and observing how they are pronouncing any word. This domain helps any children to learn how to speak different words. The client Billy, who is 2 years and 8 months old, is suffering from the difficulty in speaking the English language with the family members and others. His parents are concerned as he is unable to speak properly as his other siblings did in his years. So, some language domain is
helpful for the child. As he is unable to speak a whole sentence, syntax and morphology domain will not work for him. But the domain, semantics, phonology and pragmatic will helphim to learn new words and speak properly after listening to it (Coenen et al., 2016). 2. Interpretation of referral and discussion with reference to Stackhouse and Wells’ model:From the case, it has been found that Billy’s parents were concerned regarding his speaking ability as he was unable to speak properly whereas, at his age, his siblings could speak better. However, it is common that parents take the example of siblings as a reference while comparing. But, the speaking ability always differs between boys and girls during the first 30 months of life (Kurtz‐Nelson & McIntyre, 2017). Their language development skill also varies accordingly. The child was having difficulty speaking and in this issue, Stackhouse and Wells model will work in the assessment session. This model is developed considering the role of sound in the speech therapy and it works in three different steps. For Billy, the steps can be integrated in the following way.Input• Peripheral auditory processing- In this stage, Billy’s ear will identify or notice a sound from the environment.• Speech discrimination- In this stage, Billy will recognize if the sound heard, is a speech ornon-speech sound (Stackhouse, 2014). • Phonological recognition- Now, Billy will relate the sound or language to his familiar languages and then try to understand it. With the help of it, it is possible to identify a particular speech order.
• Phonetic discrimination- This will help Billy to recognize and distinguish between different types of sounds. Representation• Phonological and semantic representation- Billy will be able to store the words according to their sound and according to their meaning also. This will help him to understand the word and its meaning properly (Krahn et al., 2015). This model will effectively help Billy to identify different kinds of sounds and their meaning.It will help him in learning and understanding new words which will assist him in overcoming his weaknesses. In this case, Billy was using few single words and gestures to communicate with others. He uses very few verbs while communicating. His action and difficulties in speaking develop a hypothesis that he is not completely able to develop semantic representation and he is unable to understand the meaning of all the words (McConnell et al., 2014). This approach will help Billy in developing his speech and literacy.3. Integration of WHO ICF into the assessment plan:The WHO ICF model focuses on four factors and these are, body structures and function, activities and participation, environmental factors, and lastly personal factors (Schiariti et al., 2015). ICF works efficiently in developing a standard framework of language to assist individuals who suffer from the difficulties in speaking and understanding word meanings. It is basically a classification of the health-related domain and it is used to evaluate the needs ofany child with any health disability (Geytenbeek et al., 2015). In order to analyze and check the health-related disability to improve the speech and language developing the skill of Billy, the ICF framework can be used. To collect in-depth information from the parents of Billy, theICF checklist can be used appropriately. The impact of various contextual factors in the
