[Seuce-cci] Question about student screening instruments

Tue Jul 2 18:28:12 EDT 2019

Hello all,

Elyssa’s question and Pam’s response are a part of an ongoing debate in our
college of Allied Health Professions.  Actually, it was settled by our dean
and dept. chairs.  It was determined that our hands are tied if we
determine communication needs of our own students because we cannot treat
them AND evaluate them.

Students should meet with staff in the Office of Student Disabilities to
receive accommodations, if needed. So the students MUST self-identify.
 The worst case scenario is having to grade/evaluate a student the faculty
has determined has a disability, but the student has not addressed the need
for accommodations with OSD.  We cannot casually make accommodations
without the required documentation initiated by the students.  If we
casually address disabilities, it can be viewed as drawing attention to the
student’s disability which may affect evaluation/grading, especially if
there are problems.

We did determine Audiology can address Speech students’ hearing needs and
Speech can address Audiology students’ speech needs. So we can be resources
for the students, just not for the ones we are charged with evaluating.

In short…we no longer  screen any students in our department.

Hello Elissa,

We complete screenings with our student in the Introduction UG class and
incoming Graduate students as well.  I have attached the form we use for
the 101 students but we use the same document for Graduates.

I would like to follow up with another question.  I am curious what others
do when you have a student who does not pass any aspect of the screening.

On a positive side, we have identified student with a hearing loss, helped
them obtain hearing aids and even Voc Rehab.

On a not so positive side, we have identified students with a social
language disorder and had issues after issue.

Any policy or insight others want to share is welcome.

Hi all,

Elissa Zylla-Jones from Auburn asked that I post this question for the
group:

We currently screen speech, language and hearing for all of our incoming
graduate students. We wish to modify the speech and language screening tool
we are currently using for our incoming graduate students.

Would you be willing to share what you use to evaluate (screen) your new
students for us to reference?

Thank you,

Elissa
