Literature Review Presentation  Atypical Language Development

In this assignment, you will select a student population at high risk for atypical language development from a list provided and complete a literature review using a minimum of five sources (three sources may be module readings, but at least two sources must be outside the module readings).

The goal of your literature review will be to identify the reasons the selected population is considered at risk and appropriate strategies for assessment and intervention. Your final product is a slide presentation appropriate for a stakeholder audience, such as parents or colleagues.
Create a slide presentation consisting of 7-9 slides, including a title and references slide.

Follow the directions for each step to complete the slide presentations.

Step 1. Choose

Choose a student population at high risk for atypical language development from the list provided for your research.

(NOTE: If you would like to use another group with atypical language development, you may do so with approval from your instructor.)
English language learners
Highly mobile students
Students with intellectual disabilities
Students from culturally and linguistically diverse families
Students with a speech language impairment
Students with ASD (autism spectrum disorder)

Step 2. Conduct

Conduct a literature review on your student population using a minimum of five sources (three sources may be module readings, but at least two sources must be outside the module readings).
Consider the following when conducting your literature review (use speaker notes as needed):

What does recent research indicate about atypical language development with this population?

What are research-based instructional strategies shown to improve language skills for this population?

What kind of language assessments are suggested which may be specific to this population?

Step 3. Develop

Develop a 7-9 slide presentation (including a title and references slide) appropriate to a stakeholder audience, such as parents or colleagues, highlighting your findings from the literature review.

Include an introduction slide providing an overview of this population. Use speaker notes to highlight information regarding why this population may be at risk for atypical language development.

Include a conclusion slide highlighting your thoughts regarding your literature review.
Include a title slide and a references slide citing a minimum of five sources (three sources may be module readings, but at least two sources must be outside the module readings).
