Using the attached LDCA Chart, complete the Language Domains sections explaining how language disorders may impact learning. Give examples of how a difficulty in that language domain might impact a student’s performance in the classroom. For example, a student with a phonology disorder may have reading difficulties in pronouncing words, decoding, and in oral reading. Make sure you use your textbook and the resources provided in D2L content (Resources and Support) to provide a comprehensive list for each domain. I’ve provided some examples throughout the attached chart in each domain to assist you in this project. The completed chart will be very helpful in your future teaching, as well as in the upcoming language lesson plan and case study assignments.

First Words, First Words II, First Verbs

Language Domain: Semantics (Receptive and Expressive)
Definition: Semantics is the content or meaning associated with words and word combinations. It is the study of meaning in language. It includes word relationships, such as antonyms, synonyms, metaphors, and words with multiple meanings. For our purpose we will think of it as words and word relationships.

· Sentence frames provide students with sentence prompts ith words missing
· Role play – create social scenarios and have students act out a variety of roles encouraging appropriate communication with prompts
· Encourage multiple forms of communication in groups. This can include gestures, affect, eye contact, vocalization, etc.
· Reinforce positive communication with rewards by creating inviting environments free of judgement.
· Use social groups to reinforce common interests and basic skills (i.e. politeness).
· Use of videos, self-monitoring, and peer evaluation.
· Use communication songs that children can follow the directions to while listening and singing.
· Use social stories as a tool that supports a safe and meaningful exchange of information to encourage positive social interactions.

Language Domain: Auditory Processing
Definition:
General Characteristics:
General Characteristics of an auditory processing disorder include limited ability to perform one or more of these functions:
· attend, discriminate, and identify acoustic signals
· transform and continuously transmit information through both the peripheral and central nervous systems
· filter, sort, and combine information at appropriate perceptual and conceptual levels
· store and retrieve information efficiently
· restore, using phonological, semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic knowledge
· attach meaning to a stream of acoustic signals through utilization of linguistic and non-linguistic contexts
The five main problem areas that can affect both home and school activities in Children with APD are
1. Auditory Figure-Ground Problems: when a child can’t pay attention if there’s noise in the background. Noisy, low-structured classrooms could be very frustrating.
2. Auditory Memory Problems: when a child has difficulty remembering information such as directions, lists, or study materials. It can be immediate (“I can’t remember it now”) and/or delayed (“I can’t remember it when I need it for later”).
3. Auditory Discrimination Problems: when a child has difficulty hearing the difference between words or sounds that are similar (COAT/BOAT or CH/SH). This can affect following directions, and reading, spelling, and writing skills, among others.
4. Auditory Attention Problems: when a child can’t stay focused on listening long enough to complete a task or requirement (such as listening to a lecture in school). Children with CAPD often have trouble maintaining attention, although health, motivation, and attitude also can play a role.
5. Auditory Cohesion Problems: when higher-level listening tasks are difficult. Auditory cohesion skills — drawing inferences from conversations, understanding riddles, or comprehending verbal math problems — require heightened auditory processing and language levels. They develop best when all the other skills (levels 1 through 4 above) are intact.
