Syntax QuestionQuest This new three-level series will help students with language disorders understand and answer many common forms of questions. ® Wh- Questions, Yes/No, and More! These programs: •Train Wh- and Yes/No Questions • Cover pairing and exhaustive pairing •Teach the syntax and semantics of questions Suggested for students (Pre-K-8) with: • Autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities, language-learning disorders, hearing impairments, and cochlear implants • Also English language learners (Pre-K-8) Product Description: Most children with language disorders have diffi culty understanding, answering, and asking questions. Deficits in the ability to ask and answer questions can have a serious impact on students’ communication development as well as their classroom performance.

This piñata?” most likely requires an in- program systematically trains both strument answer “…with a bat” while syntactic and semantic aspects of “How is the girl dancing?” requires diff erent types of questions. a manner response “…on her toes.” A Variety of Question Forms Students who are learning to understand and respond to questions need to master many syntactic subtleties. For example, they need to know whether a question refers to the subject or the object of a sentence (Who is painting?/Who is the father painting?). They also need to discriminate between Yes/No- and Wh-Questions. In addition, students must understand the various semantic meanings of questions. For example, the Similarly, the question “Why is the girl sad?” requires a cause response “… because her balloon got away,” while the question “Why is the boy lling the washtub?” requires a purpose answer like “…to wash the dog.” Students must also learn that when more than one person is involved in an activity, a question such as “Who is washing the car?” requires an exhaustive response where all of the participants are named. Similarly, when a scene is described as “Everyone is reading something and eating something,” the response to “Who is reading what and eating Independent Research Demonstrates E ectiveness what?” requires pairing all of the ac- QuestionQuest: Facilitating Syntax and Pragmatics tors with what they are reading and through Optimized Software* Smith, S., Pereira, M., Ravina, R., Carr, C., Ackai, L., & deVilliers, P. what they are eating. Teachers pre-tested 14 oral deaf children with language delays using a 15 item Wh-Question elicited production test. 1 The children then used QuestionQuest for 30 minutes per day, usually 3 times a week. • At post-test, scores on the Wh-Question elicited production test more than doubled; a diff erence that was highly signifi cant. • Improvements were evident across a range of initial ability. Some children who did not produce Wh-Questions on the pre-test did so after training. Others with initially limited production of Wh-Questions expanded their repertoire. These results indicate that using QuestionQuest was an eff ective way to provide children with the critical language input they needed to improve their abilities to understand, ask, and answer questions. ________________________________________________ *Paper presented at Clarke School for Hearing and Speech, Northampton, MA, May 2011 1 Seymour, H., Roeper T., & deVilliers, J.

Using Laureate’s Optimized Intervention® technology, the program begins with an assessment to determine where to start training. As the student works, the software continually monitors responses, adjusts the instructional support accordingly, and automatically guides the student through the curriculum. Extensive data collection and built-in reports document student performance and ensure accountability. Development of these programs was supported by SBIR grants from NIDCD.
