Is international adoption like Brangelina say it is…?

I. INTRODUCTION**The majority of IAC are 2 years old or younger
Top sending countries:1.1. China2.2. Ethiopia3.3. Russia (no more)4.4. South Korea5.5. Ukraine

II. BECOMING AN “ORPHAN”**In home countries of IAC, usually found in orphanages
Some have parents who are dead
In many cases, however, parents put their children into orphanages cannot afford to feed them
Also, in some cases, parents are not married; great disgrace in some countries, so the child is placed in an orphanage
![Page 9: CONSIDERATIONS IN SERVICE DELIVERY TO SPECIAL POPULATIONS](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5ede5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Kathleen Morris (Practical strategies for therapists working with SI/SPD Disorders)**
Volunteered: Russian, Romanian, Bulgarian orphanages
She has also worked for 17 years as the founder and director of two SI clinics
I went to her workshop

According to Kathleen Morris:

Former student Marilyn Stansfield, (worked in Romanian orphanage)

Marilyn also volunteered at a Romanian hospital for abandoned babies…

Marilyn tried to feed a newbie from a bottle…

III. ACCULTURATION ISSUES**Frequently, IAC are abruptly taken out of their familiar surroundings and placed into totally new environments
This is especially hard on older IAC
They may miss the familiarity of surroundings they have known all their lives
Used to interacting with other children, not adults
![Page 16: CONSIDERATIONS IN SERVICE DELIVERY TO SPECIAL POPULATIONS](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5ede5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
IV. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS**
Possible post-traumatic stress syndrome
Consequent need for psychological services, emotional support
Adoptive parents may need these services also--feel overwhelmed
![Page 17: CONSIDERATIONS IN SERVICE DELIVERY TO SPECIAL POPULATIONS](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5ede5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Other potential areas of concern include:
![Page 18: CONSIDERATIONS IN SERVICE DELIVERY TO SPECIAL POPULATIONS](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5ede5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Hwa-Froelich 2012—major parent concerns:
![Page 19: CONSIDERATIONS IN SERVICE DELIVERY TO SPECIAL POPULATIONS](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5ede5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
V. SPEECH AND LANGUAGE CONSIDERATIONS**Articulatory-phonological skills may be negatively impacted by low oral muscle tone
Some IAC refuse to even chew, let alone speak
Again, dental/orthodontic needs may have been neglected
![Page 20: CONSIDERATIONS IN SERVICE DELIVERY TO SPECIAL POPULATIONS](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5ede5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
We will remember the definition of “language”**
A system of symbols that represents concepts formed by exposure and experience
With very limited exposure and experience, some IAC may have very limited conceptual foundations
![Page 21: CONSIDERATIONS IN SERVICE DELIVERY TO SPECIAL POPULATIONS](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5ede5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
A challenge for many IAC…
![Page 22: CONSIDERATIONS IN SERVICE DELIVERY TO SPECIAL POPULATIONS](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5ede5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
IAC may have…**
Post-institutional Autistic Syndrome
—experienced such abuse and neglect that they exhibit autistic-like behaviors—e.g., rocking, hair-pulling
![Page 23: CONSIDERATIONS IN SERVICE DELIVERY TO SPECIAL POPULATIONS](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5ede5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

So we know from research that…**The younger IAC are at the age of adoption, the better their chances for developing language normally
Those who show initial delays may still have them later; we always need to test when the children are newly adopted and follow up
![Page 25: CONSIDERATIONS IN SERVICE DELIVERY TO SPECIAL POPULATIONS](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5ede5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
VII. CONCLUSION**SLPs are becoming increasingly involved in providing services to IAC, especially on multidisciplinary teams
Remember, parents need support too!
Anecdotal evidence: pediatricians may tell adoptive parents “wait and see”
Increasingly, this is being viewed as unacceptable; currently, most experts recommend that adoptive parents just assume that children will need additional services and stimulation in all areas of development

When children are evaluated:

In terms of service delivery:
![Page 28: CONSIDERATIONS IN SERVICE DELIVERY TO SPECIAL POPULATIONS](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5ede5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Again, remember that social-emotional-pragmatics problems needing tx may include:
![Page 29: CONSIDERATIONS IN SERVICE DELIVERY TO SPECIAL POPULATIONS](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5ede5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
VIII. STUDENTS WITH AUGMENTATIVE/ALTERNATIVE COMMUNICATION (AAC) NEEDS**How comfortable are families with high-
tech devices?
If they are not, we might need to introduce low-tech devices or even boards with pictures
Researchers recommend: picture communication systems printed both in L1 and English
![Page 30: CONSIDERATIONS IN SERVICE DELIVERY TO SPECIAL POPULATIONS](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5ede5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
IX. STUDENTS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DELAYS**We have to be careful, because ELL students tend to be overidentified
Students with DD can still be bilingual!
Be careful about early intervention recommendations, because parents may not believe that early independence is important
![Page 31: CONSIDERATIONS IN SERVICE DELIVERY TO SPECIAL POPULATIONS](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5ede5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
X. SERVICE DELIVERY TO CLD DEAF STUDENTS
![Page 32: CONSIDERATIONS IN SERVICE DELIVERY TO SPECIAL POPULATIONS](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022032708/56649e625503460f94b5ede5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Research has found great success…**
With classroom amplification
Studies: if a teacher uses an FM system and students hear her voice more loudly, they may
• pay better attention• participate more in
discussions• learn new vocab words
faster

XI. STUDENTS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER**
Stoll, Tolentino, and Roseberry-McKibbin (CSHA, 2008) studied CLD families with ASD children
These families believed in mainstream causes of ASD and also in mainstream treatment (e.g., early intervention, dietary modifications, etc.)

Challenges impacting service delivery include:
