Using LENA Technology to Enhance Intervention, Progress Monitoring and Assessment
This session will present the benefits of LENA mobile for providing families with information that can enhance their child’s language development. Information about how Adult Word Count, Conversational Turns, and Child Vocalizations can be used to provide parents with information that can support goals of early intervention. Parents receive information about quantity, percentile rank and standard scores. Interpretation of the daily total and the hourly data. Examples will be provided for audience analysis. Additionally, interpretation about the environmental data: percent in silence, in noise, with TV/radio, overlapping speech, distant speech and meaningful speech is also provided. Examples of children with unusual levels of noise, silence, TV/radio, overlapping speech, or meaningful speech will be provided for audience interpretation. Information is also provided from the Automated Vocalization Analysis, providing information about the quality of the child’s vocal production. Case studies for interpretation will be provided for audience analysis and interpretation. The length of the child’s vocal utterance is also provided, the vocal productivity score and cases will be presented. Information using the social adaptation risk factor, as an autism screen, will also be included. Longitudinal data on some children will also be provided and discussed, particularly on complex cases.
- Participants will identify parent input variables that impact child language outcomes
- Participants will identify child variables that indicate risk factors for additional disabilities
- Participants will design early intervention strategies relevant to the LENA data
