evidenced based practice: assessment and treatment Flashcards
what is a multidisciplinary team
team members represent different disciplines, each member conducts their own eval and write separate reports. There is little interaction
what is a transdisciplinary team
multiple specialists work together in the initial assessment but only one or two provide services
what is an interdisciplinary team
tem members from multiple disciplines collaborate write an evaluation and intervention plan
what percentage of a sample will have scores within 1 standard deviation
68%
what are percentile ranks
show the percentage of subjects who scores at or below a specific raw score.
what does a score at the 25th percentile mean
75% scored better
why are SLPs turning to functional assessment
reimbursers are requiring documentation of functional outcomes of treatment
how does a clinician target functional communication during as assessment
- observe client with amily and peers
- arrange a child-caretaker interaction
- arrange for peer interactions
- talk with 2 or 3 peers about how the child interacts
- observe in classroom, cafeteria, playground with
peers - observe patient interaction with health care providers and family while assessing in medical settings
- emphasize conversational interaction. Do no make clinical judgments based solely on imitative or picture naming
- observe and record conversation in naturalistic situation
- create meaningful tasks
- use sentences that include names of family members, activities the client enjoys
- document variations in the disorder in natural settings
- examine the effect the client produces when he or she attempts to communicate
what are client specific assessments
alternative to standardized test
- generate data that are helpful in developing client specific treatment
- evoke speech-language samples over time by use of culturally appropriate client specific materials instead of standard stimuli
how do you establish a baseline for client specific assessment
establish baselines of targeted behaviors just before they are taught
what is criterion referenced assessment
performance is evaluated against a standard of performance called a criterion
- may be helpful when the norms of standardized tests do not apply to a particular client.
- they allow for more in depth evaluation of the patient
what is authentic assessment
speech and language samples in everyday settings
what is minimal competency core
a variation of authentic assessment
it takes age and specific context into account
the least amount of skill a typical speaker is expected to display
what is contrastive analysis
used to establish whether a speech pattern is part of a speaker’s cultural background or is a disorder
2. requiresknowledge of dialect
what is dynamic assessment
evaluates a child/s ability to earn when provided with istruction
- test-teach-retest
- demonstrates the modifiability of deficient skills
describe a comprehensive and integrated assessment
- clinician retains necessary elements of the traditional approach (cases history, interview, language sample, orofacial exam, and hearing screening)
- standardized tests may be used
- clinician uses a client-specific stimulus material, sample communication in natural settings, and evaluate each skill in depth
- targets are functional and meaningful
- clinician may expand data to include reading and writing samples, copies of academic records, reports from teacher or other professionals, video of conversation with others
what is the directmethod of response reduction
reducing behaviors by immediately providing a corrective feedback
what are discrete trials
each opportunity to produce a response is counted separately. They are more efficient in establishing target behaviors but are less efficient than naturalistic methods
what is escape
a behavior that reduces or terminates an aversive event after having come in contact with that event
what is an evoked trial
no modeling is given. Pictures, questions and other stimuli are used to provoke a response. Evoked trials follow modeled trails
what is an exemplay
specific target response that illustrates a broader target behavior. Individual items trained in therapy sessions: /s/ is an exemplar of the word soup
what is extinction
withholding reinforcers to reduce a response: appropriate in reducing behaviors as crying
