Chapter 8 Flashcards
What are the three parts to the framework for conducting therapy?
Antecedent Events (AE)
Responses (R)
Consequent Events (CE)
What are Antecedent Events (AE)?
2
Stimulus
Events presented during or just prior to a response
What are some types of Antecedent Events (AE)?
4
Verbal model
Picture
Printed material
Verbal instructions
What might cause the Antecedent Event (AE) to vary?
The clinician’s goal (establish a motor behavior vs. teach a phonological rule vs. contrast speech sounds, etc.)
What are Responses (R)?
2
Behaviors targeted for a client
Reactions to the AE
How do Responses (R) correlate with Antecedent Events (AE)?
Why is this important?
Different stimuli will elicit the different responses
We usually need a certain number of correct responses to move forward in therapy
What is the benefit of a high rate of Responses (R)?
2
Helps the clinician monitor progression
Helps the client stabilize production
What are Consequent Events (CE)?
Reinforcement (or punishment) following a response
What is Positive Reinforcement?
What is its goal?
Giving the client a tangible or intangible “reward”
It increases a desired (or undesired) behavior
Should we reinforce wrong responses?
No
Is punishment used in therapy?
Not usually
What are the three Goal Attack Strategies?
Vertically Structured Treatment Program
Horizontally Structured Treatment Program
Cyclically Structured Treatment Program
What is the Vertically Structured Treatment Program?
2
1-2 goals are trained to a predecided level before moving on to new goals
Uses a high response rate (lots of repetition) for a single target
What is another name for the Vertically Structured Treatment Program?
Training Deep
What is the assumption behind the Vertically Structured Treatment Program?
(2)
When you practice a small number of target sound for a long period, these skills are more likely to be generalized to new targets
Some clients do better focusing on a small number of targets
What is the Horizontally Structured Treatment Program?
3
Clinician targets multiple goals in a single session
The training for each target is less intense
Focuses on the broader speech system components
What is another name for the Horizontally Structured Treatment Program?
Training broad
What is the assumption behind the Horizontally Structured Treatment Program?
The client’s phonological system will be more efficiently modified by working with a range of sounds
What is the Cyclically Structured Treatment Program?
3
Combines both the Vertical and the Horizontal
A single target is focused on for a fixed period of time (one session, a week, etc.)
Afterwards a new target is addressed no matter the mastery
What are the two types of scheduling?
Intermittent scheduling
Block scheduling
What is Intermittent Scheduling?
2-3 sessions per week for an extended period of time
What is Block Scheduling?
Daily sessions for a short period of time
Will block scheduling intervention 4-5 times a week for 8-10 weeks result in slightly higher or slightly lower dismissal rates when compared to intermittent scheduling for a longer period of time?
Higher
Use _______ scheduling only on a _________ basis. It does not appear to be as appropriate with clients who have severe articulation/phonological disorders and will need ongoing services.
Intensive/Broad
Short-term
Which tends to yield better results: scheduling a child for three 30 minutes sessions or scheduling a child for one 60 minute session?
Scheduling a child for three 30 minutes sessions
What is the difference between the pull-out model and the inclusion model?
Pull-Out - client is instructed in a treatment room
Inclusion - client is instructed in a classroom setting
What are some items a clinician can draw on when treating a school-age child using a classroom-based approach? (3)
What can be developed from these? (3)
Textbooks, homework, and classroom discourse
Goals, target words, and instructional procedures
What are some items a clinician can draw on when treating a PRESCHOOL-age child using a classroom-based approach? (3)
Crafts, snacks and toileting
What may benefit all children in the classroom when a clinician treats a preschooler using a classroom-based approach?
Phonological awareness
Which style of direction is more direct: the pull-out model and the inclusion model?
Pull-out model
What does the inclusion model require?
Collaboration from the classroom instructor
Can treatment in small groups be as effective as individual treatment?
Yes
How is are instruction groups typically designed?
By grouping 3-4 clients of similar ages working on similar targets
How does group instruction differ from individual instruction?
Groups are structured so all clients benefit from both from the activities and group interactions
Can combining group and individualized instruction be beneficial?
Yes
What are the four intervention styles?
Drill
Drill play
Structured Play
Play
What is Drill-based therapy?
2
Clinician presents a stimulus or an antecedent event
Client issues a response
What does the clinician control in Drill-based therapy?
Rate and presentation of stimuli
What is Drill-Play based therapy?
Contains the same components of Drill-based therapy but stimuli are included in a antecedent motivational event (like a game)
