Q

What is the basic premise Norris and Hoffman’s approach to therapy?

A
  • Naturalistic
  • “Whole language” learning

Q

What are the differences between discrete learning and the naturalistic process as described by Norris & Hoffman?

A

Discrete learning focuses on the developmental sequence of skill acquisition
 Adult determines standards with emphasis on correctness and accuracy.
 Instruction is formal and direct
 Extrinsic forces motivate learning
 Imitation and shaping

Naturalistic focuses on the process that the learning is occurring
 Child initiates a response and the adult builds on the complexity
 Instruction is informal and discovery based
 Intrinsic forces motivate learning
 Modeling

24
Q

Therapy Approach: Prelinguistic Milieu Training / Responsivity Education
(Warren, et al.)

Characteristics

(Warren, et al.)

Requirments
