ch 4 Flashcards
pragmatic assessment and intervention
play based assessment for younger kids, school aged children- observe them in the classroom
intervention–> have them walk around with other teachers and people and have them start conversation with those people, having them play games with other kids and work on turn taking
semantic assessment and intervention
PPVT/ other standardized vocab test, LSA, NDW or T-unit analysis, maybe a quick screening to see where they are in vocabulary development
intervention–> bring in games or pictures of different objects and have them name the items, introduce new vocab to the child with objects or pictures -do some modeling, flashcards (more drill based)
morphosyntax assessment and intervention
looking at their school papers, LSA
intervention–> have them tell you what they are doing tomorrow or what they did yesterday (looking at different verb tenses and morph)
why am i choosing this intervention?
- incorporate evidence-based practice (EBP) into the decision-making process
- external evidence documents an intervention within published research
- internal evidence is also a part of EBP
- consider why a particular approach might be expected to work
external evidence
research that you have read that supports that this intervention is appropriate for this particular population
internal evidence
more analyzing the situation and looking at what you know about language theory and development and applying it to the particular case – considering why a particular approach might be expected to work
intervention techniques: influences from behavioral theory
choosing stimuli - objects, photos
eliciting responses- prompts, shaping, modeling, cueing
rewarding réponses- fading, continuos reinforcement, intermittent reinforcement, partial reinforcement, and sentence recasts
prompts
provide a question, tell me…, or tell me ball (while holding the ball in front of them)
shaping
moving along the continuum of behaviors, teaching something that is complex but breaking it down into smaller steps
cueing
how am i going to support this child? what kind of cues do they need?
fading
cutting back on the amount of feedback or rewards you are giving that child
continuous reinforcement
reinforcement after every time they do something
intermittent/partial
not giving them reinforcement every time, but doing it every once in awhile to keep them motivated
recasting
taking what the child said and changing it in some way
intervention techniques: influences from social interaction theory
language facilitation- modeling -self talk -parallel talk -language expansions -language extensions -buildup/breakdown-contingency assertive/responsive communication scheme
self talk
“I feel” statements, the adult is narrating what they are doing or what they are thinking
intervention = having the child do some modeling and have them talk through what they are doing
parallel talk
adult is saying everything that the child is doing ex= commentators of a basketball game
intervention= talking about what the child is doing, walk a child through steps of writing a paper
language expansions
taking what the child said and building on it ex= dog running.. yeah! the big dog is running
extensions
taking what the child said and making it grammatically correct
