Emerging Lang Goal Setting And Intervention Flashcards
COMMON GOALS
- Develop functional and symbolic play and gesture
- Use of intentional communicative behavior
- Improve language comprehension
- Improve production of sounds, words, and word combinations
Intervention for pragmatics
Prelinguistic Milieu Teaching
Why do we do Prelinguistic Milieu Teaching
To increase frequency of intentional communication
Prelinguistic Milieu Teaching teaching methods
Build social relations
Use specific consequences
Follow child’s attentional lead
Arranging the environment
Goal of Play
Develop conventional and symbolic play and gesture
Indirect Language Stimulation goals
To develop receptive language
To teach how language is used to map nonlinguistic context into words
How to do ILS
- Provide clear examples of how language can be used to describe experience.
- Supply models of mature language within the child’s Zone of Proximal Development.
- Provide one consequating remark per minute in order for this method to work.
Primary Goal in phonology
Expand the repertoire of consonants and the range of syllable shapes
Why do we do babbling games
Imitating an infant’s vocalizations has large effects in increasing infant’s vocalizations
How do we do babbling games
How:
1. Clinician will imitate the child’s vocalizations.
2. Once there’s an established back-and-forth pattern, the clinician will introduce a new consonant into the babble for the child to imitate.
3. New consonants to be added are chosen based on the order of acquisition of consonants. 4. Remember that the goal is not for the child to produce a particular sound, but to increase the consonant inventory.
Activities we do in phonological awareness
- Recite fingerplays (e.g., “Itsy-Bitsy Spider” and “I’m a Little Teapot”).
- Sing songs and chants (e.g., “This Old Man” and “Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear”).
- Engage in alliteration and rhyming (e.g., “dad, dad, stick, stad”).
- Point out words that begin with the same sound.
- Say simple words such as “cat”; have the child think of one or two words that start with
the same initial sound
Considerations in targeting semantics:
- Choose words similar to those used by normally developing children
- Teach the kind of first words that express more communicative functions than just naming.
- Choose words that encode ideas and interests children already have.
- Consider the phonological shape and composition of the words to be taught. Match it to the inventory
- Receptive vocabulary is typically in advance of expression in the emerging language period. Provide a rich vocabulary receptively, even when only a few of them will be elicited for production.
- Words will be chosen based on the child’s current knowledge and interests.
- Play contexts that incorporate these words into the interaction are recommended.
Why do we do MMA or IT
Can be used to elicit targeted words
How do we do MMA or IT
Arrange the environment so that the child will have opportunities to request or comment on desired items
Why do we do script therapy
Child is challenged to communicate – call attention or repair the disruption.
Reduced cognitive load of language training by embedding it in the context of familiar routines
How do we do script therapy
- Engage the child in a verbal routine or a ritualized pattern of actions that involves the use of words in the child’s first lexicon. Violate an aspect in the routine involving one of the target words.
- Cloze technique: Provide the script but leave a blank for the child to fill in the target word.
Why do we do focused stimulation
Provides a very high density of models of the target forms in a structured but meaningful context
