final exam Flashcards
examples of hybrid approaches to intervention
from most child-centered to most clinician directed
- prelinguistic mileu teaching
- focused stimulation
- using narrative/convo in intervention
- script therapy
- responsivity education
- cycles approach
- structured play
- combining hybrid activities with explicit instruction
hybrid intervention approaches for younger children
(below pre-school age)
- prelinguistic mileu teaching
- responsivity education
- book reading
hybrid intervention approaches for pre-school age children
- focused stimulation
- structured play
hybrid intervention approaches for school-age children
- script therapy
- combining hybrid approaches with clinician directed activities
- using conversation in hybrid approach
- using narratives in hybrid approach
prelinguistic milieu teaching (PMT)
- goal= establish and increase nonlinguistic acts
- uses prompts/communication temptations
- giving them an opportunity to say/communicate something intentionally (ex. holding swing back & waiting for the child to ask to be pushed, holding a toy out of reach)
- clinician then imitates child’s actions/vocalizations and is responsive to the child
- intentionality (work on this at their level, but work in their zpd–you might be trying to get them to vocalize)
for younger children (below pre-school age) -> duh it’s PRE-linguistic
responsivity education
teach parents/caregivers how to respond to their child (having them practice)
for younger children (below preschool)
EX: the hannon program
- uses parent coaching–> the clinician teaches the parent the hannon program (expanding, giving child time to respond, clinician defines what things look like)
- the parent uses the strategies at home with their child
- the clinician reviews videos of the parent with them and gives feedback (very positive and helpful-> what they did right and what to improve)
book reading
hybrid intervention approach for younger children
- parents and/or clinician (can train parents how to make book reading mor interactive –> trying to make it more of a back & forth experience)
focused stimulation
focus on specific target, use multiple models, clinician uses the word/target very often
- could pretend to misunderstand, often used in play context
- clinician is talking a lot, saying similar types of utterances, lots of modeling (how you can tell the difference between focused stimulation and facilitated play)
hybrid intervention approach for preschool-aged children
focused stimulation is more child centered than structured play
structured play
- developed to use play with phonological interventions
- play is organized by the clinician (usually uses roles)
- sort of doing the same thing over and over again within some roles
- not as much practice as drill play though
hybrid intervention approach for pre-school aged children
EX: describing an order from a picture menu, writing letters to mail
script therapy
- reduces cognitive load using familiar contexts
- predictable for children; there is a structure/model/schema that the child already knows
- model the script and violate the script (you can change the script because they are familiar with it)
- culturally responsive approach (it’s within a context)
- can carry over to the home
- examples of scripts:
- event structures (an event a child is very familiar with)
- going to the doctors office, school, bedtime routines, (you can ask parents for things they are familiar with) etc
- literature-based scripts (you can pick a story, and use it over and over, then it becomes a script
- can do cloze tasks when they are familiar
- songs, rhymes, routines (mostly talking about younger kids)
- event structures (an event a child is very familiar with)
hybrid intervention approach for school age children (can also be used for pre-school aged children)
using conversation in hybrid approach
- functional (good for practicing)
- maybe show a clip and then have a conversation about it
school aged children
using narratives in hybrid approach
- functional
- can work on many goals
- retell, create stories, act out
school aged children
guiding principles of intervention for school-aged children
- use curriculum-based instruction
- use the context of their curriculum to do treatment,
- incorporate things from the curriculum
- integrate oral and written language
- they are always writing things in the classroom
- go meta
- encourage them to analyze their own performance and progress
- helps them increase their independence and be able to self advocate (by figuring out how they learn)
- participate in RTI/MTSS (response to intervention/multi tiered systems of support)
- children already on our caseload (with ieps) don’t use this
- getting kids help sooner, don’t want to heave to wait to help them
- oral language and comprehension is often missing what we worry about
- remember- we are always working on pragmatics
- there’s never a time when you aren’t doing something with pragmatics
- you want to be using language how you would do it naturally in a conversation
- we always want to have the aim that what they are working on can be used in the classroom (so don’t always do clinician directed because it can’t be generalized)
hybrid approach strategies to teaching semantics for school-age children
- visual modalities (ie. word maps, symbols/pictographs)
- so they can figure out what strategies are helpful for them
- word map: center word–> parts; function; related; appearance (to make connections between things) - semantic networks
- connect the things they learn together (group words together that relate to certain topics) - teach contextual strategies
- strategies of using clues from what is going on around the unknown word
help them create an organization of their semantic knowledge
hybrid approach strategies to teaching morphosyntax for school-age children
recognizing patterns in words
- what prefixes and suffixes can you add to a word
- how do they change the meaning of the word
complex sentences
- time words (before, after, while) [what it means when using those] or causal words (because, since, therefore, so)–> combining two sentences by using one of those words and moving it around
- practice something decontextualized and then move to a more contextualized setting/activity
what should we always be working on in treatment with school-age children
pragmatics and metaskills
- pragmatics (may be a specific target for treatment): conversational discourse [it doesn’t look very different but you provide cues]; narratives
- meta skills: phonological awareness, editing, organization, self-regulation, executive functioning
features of clinicial directed (CD) approaches
highly structured
- give them a stimulus, they are expected to provide a response, and we provide feedback/cues/prompting that is needed to get the feedback
format controlled
- can control that there is more practice
very specific linguistic stimuli
clear instructions
- if we want a specific response we need to provide clear instructions
criteria
reinforcement
maximal prompting: clinician is teaching
- cues are frequent (80% to 100% of trials)
- support is full; that is:
-complete imitative model or explicit verbal instruction (‘touch this one’)
-hand-over-hand or full physical guidance
- point or show correct target or location
- provide direct, explicit verbal instruction or metalinguistic instruction (it’s a boy; say ‘he’)
moderate prompting: client is practicing
- cues are intermittent (25–75% of trials)
- support is partial; that is:
- provide a closed set or multiple choice (do you want chips, candy, or juice?)
- provide a category for response (find the feeling words on your communication board)
- provide a semantic cue (it’s a fruit; it’s not an apple; it’s a [pear])
- provide cloze cues with expectant waiting (she’s going fast. the girl is …)
- provide phonological cues (it starts with /s/. tell me, ‘it’s a [sock]’)
- point or look in the general area of a correct response
minimal prompting
cues are occasional (5–20% of trials)
- support is subtle; that is:
- provide a light touch or tap to direct attention or remind
- provide verbal reminders (remember use your word endings. use your ipad. don’t forget your polite words)
- provide a visual cue, such as a script or picture schedule and direct attention to it if client needs support
client shows use of the skill; may self-monitor; clinician is coaching
types of CD approaches
(clinician directed)
- drill: practice over and over
- drill-play: set up a drill, but we are doing it in a play environment
- modeling: not used frequently in a clinical setting–you have to have two adults (one perons models self correcting and correct responses)
conflicting evidence for CD approaches
ie. pros and cons of CD approaches
advantages:
- greater frequency of responses
- efficient–> maximizes responses within the time
- effective–> eleiciting new forms/behaviors
disadvantages:
- not natural
- limits generalization
if you are only ever doing clinician directed, how are they ever supposed to generalize?
appropriate use of CD approaches
- useful for teaching new forms
- can be combined with other approaches (use cd for part of the session and then do hybrid after)
- plan to move along the continuum (towards more natural)
list of child centered approaches
- language facilitation
- facilitative play
- language stimulation
- developmental approaches (meeting them where they are in their development)
mostly playing and using language facilitation techniques (child isn’t just doing whatever they want)
clinician’s role in child centered intervention approaches
- choose materials (that won’t distract the child too much, but will still motivate them)
- follow the child’s lead
- respond to child’s action/productions/gestures
- ZPD (whatever you are doing is in the zpd–you are always trying to get them to the next step)
- ie. if they are using gestures you are imitating the gestures and using words with them - naturalistic (because children normally play)
language facilitation techniques for children in the emerging language stage
- self talk
- parallel talk
- imitation
- expansions
- extentions
- build-ups and breakdowns
- recasts
language facilitation for children in the developing language stage (preschoolers)
additional strategies for when they are talking a bit more
- contingent feedback
- balanced turn taking
- extend the child’s topic
- reduced rate
