CAS Treatment Principles Flashcards
CAS Therapy Principles
- based on PLM
- Motor activities rather than conceptual activities
- Stimuli selection
- Drill type therapy
- Ultimate goal: habituation and automaticity —> intelligibility
Precursors to Motor Learning
- Trust
- Motivation
- Focused attention
- Pre-practice
How do we establish trust
according to caruso and strand is that the best way to earn the child’s trust is actually by giving them motivation.
How to build motivation
Dapat motivating ang activity or task, you have to make the child understand the goal of treatment is to practice movement.
How to build focused attention
Helping the child understand the tasks and how procedures will be performed
Pre-practice
Making sure the child understand the tasks and how procedures will be performed Focused attention to the task
- Early success can help establish the child’s trust in both the clinician and in the process of therapy
- Can lead to motivation
- Validating the child’s frustration and providing him or her with some success early on
Establishing trust
- At the level at which the child is likely to understand, explain what you will be doing in treatment and why it helps
- Make the child choose an initial stimuli
- feedback/reinforce
Understand goal of treatment
- allocation of capacities
- structure treatment environment
- maintained attention
Focused attention
Motor Learning principles
Pre-practice
Distribution of practice
Number of trials
Schedule of practice
Variability of practice
Frequency of feedback
Type of feedback
Timing of feedback
Child’s attention is directed to specific aspect/s of treatment targets for the session
Pre pratice
Practice opportunities are provided in…
in order to help the child practice the articulatory production
O er the child opportunities to accurately achieve a motor plan with which they may be struggling
Pre-practice
Feedback in pre-practice
High frequency and specificity
length of pre-practice is longer and shorter when…
○ Longer when introducing new targets
○ Shorter when practicing a familiar motor plan
Number of trials in pre-practice
better generalization of motor speech plan ng untrained targets kapag maraming frequencies.
Distribution of practice
Massed Practice schedule of more frequent sessions per week over a shorter period
2 types of variability of practice
Blocked and random
Variability of practice: blocked vs random
○ Blocked: early learning of targets during acquisition stage
○ Random: retention and transfer of motor speech plans
Types of Feedback
- intrinsic
- extrinsic
- KP and KR
- Summation Feedback
Make them more aware of their tactile, proprioceptive and kinesthetic sensory feedback.
Intrinsic Feedback
make feedback sa kanilang performance para later on they can give feedback sa sarili nila and correct themselves.
Extrinsic Feedback
- Very helpful to enhance the motivation of older children
- Example: Ngayon you have 5 productions na but before 2 lang. Very good!
Summation Feedback
Frequency of Feedback
● Pre-Practice: Frequent
● Practice: Less frequent
