Answer 3

No However, in the experimental group, where spouses completed a special rehabilitation program, congruence improved Pre-treatment only 44% of couples were congruent; post treatment this improved to 72% Future research will determine if an increase in congruence among couples improves hearing loss related quality of life outcomes

Answer 4

Created based off of the ACE model Found that the objectives of the ACE models didn’t really apply to an American population, so they revised it into the C2 Hear model Not group AR – more of a do-it-yourself AR

Answer 22

Modeling requires the facilitator to explicitly describe and demonstrate a behavior without assuming the participants know it Examples: Facilitator pretends to misunderstand Describes the problem and may poses good or bad solutions to the group Let group discuss the pros/cons of that behavior Facilitator models the best behavior

Answer 23

Facilitator, or group members role play inappropriate and appropriate management techniques The group discusses sources of communication breakdown and facilitative strategies for improvement

Answer 24

Whenever possible, have the group drive the ideas for improvement Ideastorming gathers many ideas quickly Start by stating the issue Ask people to say whatever comes into their heads Encourages creativity Write down all ideas for later discussion

Yes Summarize the ideas of the group & explain how they relate to the lesson’s learning objective Helps the group connect with critical information This assures the participants heard what was said Allow the facilitator to repeat common concerns or suggestions

Answer 27

Yes The combination of practice exercises and real-world practice increases likelihood of skill use “Homework” to practice new skills outside of the group setting The activities should relate to skills performed successfully during the group session Recommended activities support different levels of difficulty. Begin with known CP then to less familiar Begin with quiet environments then to complex/noisy Ask participants to keep daily logs and/or checklists. Plan to discuss experiences at the next session

Answer 28

Hide and seek CP hides an object in home and verbally directs PHL to location PHL listens to directions Uses newly learned repair strategies when clarification is needed PHL writes reflection after the activity: Did you understand the directions?
