Exam 4 Flashcards
what is the goal of evidence based practice?1
To integrate 1. Scientific evidence 2. Clinical expertise 3. Client/ Caregiver perspective To provide high quality service
Trilateral principals
Evidence based practice
Def of target behavior
- Any skill that you are teaching the client
Long term goal
- to improve speech intelligibility
Short term goal
- supports the long terms goals
Select treatment targets that are what
- linguistically and culturally appropriate for the client
Select targets that will..
make an immediate and socially significant difference in the clients communication skills
Remember
- Connect tx to classroom curriculum
- always keep common core state standards in mind
- Always treat speech sound errors and language together
- Consider targeting early dev sounds
- Target existing sounds to address phonological processes
Select more
readily taught treatment targets
Stimulable sounds treated before
non stimulable sounds
Teach visible sounds before
non visible sounds /th/ before /r/
For a phonological process to be treated should occur at least
40% of the time
select targets that affect
Intelligibility the most
Select phonological processes that affect WHAT
the most sounds
- Processes that contribute the most to the ch’s lack of intelligibility
If the chd has multiple errors we need to decide
- Do we train many sounds at once? or just a few?
Variables impacting this decision (errors to treat) include chds
- Motivation
- Age
- Language and learning skills (cognitive level)
- Time frame
when we give artic/phono test and gather conversational speech samples usually each phonemes is not
adequately sampled
ex: an artic test may sample /r/ one time in initial,medial,final position
How do we counteract problems (mistakes)
By establishing baselines of potential treatment targets before starting therapy
Baselines
measured rates of behavior in absence of treatment
3 purposes of baseline
- Est clinicians accountability
- Evaluate chd progress overtime
- Modify tx procedures if chd not improving at an expected rate of progress
Specify the treatment targets in
measurable terms
Response topography
refers to linguistic level of training
You will need to..
- prepare stimulus items and a recording sheet (words and pictures)
- administer baseline trials are structured opportunities to produce a given target ( discrete trials are most common)
