Making client’s contribution/comment informative Creating intervention contexts with real motivation to communicate Providing distractor items, Presenting stimuli within cohesive texts
43
What is an example of an operant grammar training program?
Fokes Sentence Builder (out-of-print): Who + is doing + what The man + eat + grapes
44
What are child-centered approaches to intervention? | 2
Indirect Language Stimulation (ILS) Facilitated Play
45
What are examples of Indirect Language Stimulation (ILS) for children with Developing Language? (5)
Activities inside or outside (cooking, books, crafts, etc.) Contingent feedback Balanced turn-taking Extension of child’s topic Recast sentences
46
What is Contingent Feedback?
Say something related to what child did/said
47
What is Balanced Turn-Taking?
Let the child lead then respond when child looks at you
48
What is Extension of Child’s Topic?
Say something that gives more informaiton about when the child said/did (“You have the blue car! It has black wheels”)
49
What is Recasting Sentences?
Take the child’s utterance and immediately recast it using a different syntactic form (“Big doggy mad” -> “Yes, the big doggy is mad!”)
50
Which is superior: recasting or imitation?
Recasting
51
What are the benefits of Facilitated Play? | 8
Permits integration of content, form, and function Encourages child to bring knowledge of scripts to actual events (information can be supportive of language use) Enhances narrative ability Facilitates turn-taking Increases opportunities for decontextualized language Enhances expression of communicative intentions Increasing vocabulary Developing emergent literacy
52
What are three Hybrid Approaches to Intervention for Children with Developing Language?
Focused Stimulation Script Therapy Event Structures
53
What is Focused Stimulation?
Focuses on specific forms and uses multiple models with variety of forms of feedback

71
How can should we design Intervention for Older, Severely Impaired Clients at Developing Language Levels? (4)
Focus intervention on functional abilities for participating in mainstream settings Use activities and materials in intervention that are age-appropriate and functional Develop early literacy skills, even if cognitive levels usually associated with reading have not been achieved Develop opportunities for students to participate as independently as possible in important social contexts (athletics, church, clubs, leisure activities, etc.)
