84
Q

What are play routines?

A

a plan for how to play with a toy or use objects in a play activity. they have steps that are repeated and a predictable sequence of events.

85
Q

what is the difference between joint engagement and joint attention?

A

Joint attention is used to refer to a specific set of gestures used for sharing.
Joint engagement refers to the overarching quality and connectedness of the interaction.

86
Q

What are the states of joint engagement?

A
  1. unengaged
  2. object engaged: child is actively playing with an object in a functional way, no other person involved.
  3. person engaged: child is actively interacting with another person without toys or objects.
  4. supported joint engagement: child and adult are interacting with toy/object, but child may not be initiating or overtly aware of adult’s interaction. adult is “supporting” the interaction.
  5. coordinated joint engagement: child and adult both actively interacting. both are aware of other and both are initiating.
87
Q

what are two main types of communicative intent?

A
  • protoimperatives - requesting communicative actions

- protodeclaratives - joint attention communicative actions

88
Q

Early communication skills satisfy which functions?

A
  • making requests of others
  • attracting attention to self
  • directing another’s attention to some item/activity
  • reacting to stimuli
  • focusing own attention to item/activity or regulating own behavior
89
Q

What are joint attention skills?

A
  • coordinated joint look: child looks from adult to toy and back to share attention.
  • showing: child has toy in hand and holds up toward adult to share attention
  • give to share: child makes clear attempt to give toy to adult purely to share, not to communicate need for assistance with the toy.
  • point: child points to object purely to direct adult’s attention to something of interest
90
