Chapter 9: Intervention for Developing Language + Extra Stuff Flashcards
Who does IDEA serve?
2
K-12
3-21 years
How does IFSP differ from IDEA?
2
Family-centered
Home treatment
Who is the focus of an IEP?
Where does it apply?
Focus: Child-focused
Location: School-based
What are treatment focuses that may be found in an IEP?
4
Academic goals
Groups
Long-term goals
Short-term goals
What does family-centered practice mean?
3
Respecting family’s wishes for extent of therapy
Perhaps providing “homework” activities related to therapy
Attempting to integrate parent’s requests in goals (if achievable)
What are the Products of Intervention?
Intended goals
What are the Processes of Intervention?
Methods used to achieve goals
What are the Contexts of Intervention?
Physical and social environments
What are three examples of Intervention Products?
Helping child acquire adequate expressive language skills
Giving child tools to become an effective communicator (allowing social skill so develop appropriately)
Strengthening oral language skills for later success in school/literacy skills
What are areas we should consider when choosing intervention goals?
(7)
Phonology
Morphology
Syntax
Semantics
Pragmatics
Play and thinking
Pre-literacy
How can we use Phonology to help choose intervention goals?
2
Looking for intelligibility
Looking for risk for reading problems
How can we use Semantics to help choose intervention goals?
Increasing receptive and expressive vocabulary
How can we use Syntax to help choose intervention goals?
Increasing MLU (work on correct grammar)
How can we use Morphology to help choose intervention goals?
Increasing use of free and bound morphemes (especially plurals)
How can we use Pragmatics to help choose intervention goals?
Increasing interactive language, both verbal or AAC
How can we use Play and thinking to help choose intervention goals?
(2)
Interactive play
Problem solving
How can we use Pre-literacy to help choose intervention goals?
(3)
Books
Attention
Picture relations
What do we need to take into account when planning Intervention for Semantics?
(4)
Extra repetition needed to learn new words
Specific areas of weakness
Typical targets for vocabulary learning
Remember: One new concept at a time
How much extra repetition will our kids need?
At least twice as much
How might we target specific areas of weakness in Semantics?
4
Words to talk about cognitive states like thinking and feelings
Verb vocabulary – use actions that have already happened
Verb particles (pick up, put down)
Identification of semantic features – word relationships
How might we select intervention targets for Syntactic and Morphological Disorders?
(6)
Do not ignore other areas of intervention for grammatical goals alone
Focus on typical patterns of grammatical deficits
Bound morphemes (-s, -es, -ed – -ing is a strength)
Auxiliary verbs
Small, closed class morhphemes such as articles and pronouns
Elaboration of sentences – complex sentences
Auditory bombardment can facilitate ___________.
Phonological Development
When comprehension ok but production is weak, what should be our focus?
Production
When both comprehension and production are weak, what should be our focus?
(2)
Both production and comprehension
Start with comprehension
What are three approaches that facilitate comprehension?
Focused stimulation
Indirect language stimulation
Auditory bombardment
What are Pragmatics?
How language is used in the context of communication
What are two ways to add pragmatics to intervention?
Generate set of pragmatic targets or objectives for intervention
Consider pragmatics as context in which intervention takes place and learn each new form in variety of pragmatic contexts
What are three pragmatic targets for intervention?
Turn taking
Topic maintenance
Register variation (communicate differently with different people)
How can we consider pragmatics as context in which intervention takes place and learn each new form in variety of pragmatic contexts?
(2)
Use turn taking while focusing on the syntactic or semantic goal
Topic maintenance = facilitate use of child motivating topic with new forms (e.g., past tense – “made pudding”)
How do children with language develop disorders performs in symbolic play?
How?
They are behind their peers
They have a reduced or nonexistent ability to talk out loud when playing with toys or discussing roles and rules with peers
How can we help children develop language in symbolic play?
3
Use play and problem solving as contexts in which child can practice new forms and meanings
Model pretend play and problem solving using toys
Provide dialog, set up “problems”
Children with DLD have difficulty with _______________ even after their oral language deficits are resolved.
Reading and writing
What should SLP understand about phonological processing as it applies to reading and oral language?
(4)
Phonological awareness
Print concepts
Alphabet knowledge
Narrative and literate language
