Fluency assessment in IsiXhosa: a video-based tool to facilitate reflective learning for speech-language therapists

Abstract

The purpose of this video-based Fluency assessment of an eight year old female conducted in isiXhosa is to provide a reflective learning opportunity for students as well as qualified Speech-language therapists. The video is accompanied by a reflection from the therapist as well as examples of incisive questions to facilitate clinical learning. Given the importance of culturally and linguistically relevant assessment, the video presents an opportunity to deliberate on several issues speech-language therapists must consider when developing practices which embrace diversity. The questions included with this video should be regarded as initial learning triggers and users are advised to add to the bank of questions as a means of extending and sharing this learning opportunity.
