speech pathology question regarding MLU...?

Assuming you are not doing research and you are trying to identify a specific skill. You don't need to worry too much. You should use your clinical judgment.  If you are trying to decide if the child is in need of services then you have many tools you can use to help make this decision.  If you are trying to get a baseline then adding counting will deflate your sample, not inflate it.  It may be more important for you to decide if the counting was appropriate?

Have you considered training for medical transcription online?  If so, you could check out these sites as they are probably the best and your chances of obtaining transcription work would be greatly improved if you are a graduate of one of these schools.  These schools might possibly be more expensive than others, but you are almost guaranteed a job.  Anyway, you can check these.  Good luck!\n\nListed below are the some of the more popular MT schools.  Hope that helps!

As an Audiologist, I know what it is; but I've been out of grad. school for almost 15 years, so I can't address the other parts of your question.\n\nYou probably already know they have a website: \nhttp://www.nsslha.org/nsslha/\nThere are forums there, where you are more likely to get appropriate responses to your question.  \n\nGood luck with your studies!

I would advise you to have your child evaluated by a speech therapist. Your child may have a speech disablity that could be helped by therapy. Two of my children have been in speech therapy, and I have a nephew that was diagnosed with apraxia and speech therepy was needed to get him to develope the muscles tone to be able to form words. While it is possible to that your sons talking delay is nothing to worry about, I would suggest having him evaluated at this time, as the earlier treatment is started the better. Most states have programs that will evaluate and treat if nessesary for free, until the child is of school age and can get treatment from school. Check the community section in your phone book, or you might find it under child developement . If not, cantact local Department of Soacail Services and they should be able to get you a number. I added a web site about speech diorders that you might be interested in looking at. Good Luck.

There will always be some need for transcription.  Many facilities are moving to electronic medical records but still dictate letters, reports, etc.\nGood luck w/ your decision.

My mom has been a medical transciptionist for over 15 years and she says it is not going any where. Doctors are in too big of a hurry and have way too many accents to ever be able to use voice software. You can do the schooling online (which can be hard if you are not self-motivated) or at a community college.

What age/grade level are we talking about here? Is this child recieving special services (resource room, speech-language therapy, etc.)?  If the child is not linking sounds to symbols, how can you say that he/she has good phonological awareness? Does he/she blend and segment sounds well orally?\n\nIf you're a regular education teacher, ask around to find a good special education teacher in your district who is well grounded in reading remediation. Ask them for a consult for interventions you can incorporate into your classroom curriculum.\n\nIf you're a special education teacher and asking this question, what the heck program were you in that let you get by and graduate without learning basic remediation methodology? Sorry, but that would be the program's fault, not yours, and you should go yell at them for a while. Then you should go find a program that's decent and learn about effective techniques.\n\nIf the child is under the age of 9, it could very well be that he/she is not developmentally ready for reading. Refer him/her for special education support under "Developmentally delayed." If the child is over the age of 9, a program such as Hooked on Phonics, a tutoring system such as the Orton-Gillingham approach, etc. may be helpful. Refer the child for special education support under Speech-language or under specific learning disabled.

If you've just been to ordinary doctors, maybe it's time to see an Ear/Nose/Throat specialist who should be an expert in mouth/tongue problems. It doesn't sound good, I would get another medical opinion for sure.
