using prompts and reinforcement to 
providing ?

Answer 5

naturalistic behavioral interventions used since 1970 /comm. skills in children with developmental delays, ASD, and language disorder

behavioral and social interactionist

improving children’s comm. responsivity to other people in their natural environ.

situations and uses materials/ opp. for child to comm.

comm. behavior may be reinforced

Question 6

MCT: Milieu comm. teaching
-therapeutic approach we can use with young children who have dev. language disability to help them?

PMT: prelinguistic
-emphasizes ?

EMT: enhanced
-accounts for ?

RE: responsivity education: provided to the parents by? encourages ?

Answer 6

learn words and early gram. structures

strategies for children with DD who are prelinguistic

additional environ. variables beyond basic MLT

clinician/ optimal responsiveness to child’s attempts to comm.

Question 7

MT procedures incude:
time
what modeling
… teaching

how this works:
using mand-modeling adults asks child ?

if child does not respond the adult ?

when a child consistently responds to mand model then you?

when a child responds consistently without spoken instruction during time delay, the focus shifts to ?

Answer 7

delay
mand-modeling
incidental teaching

what do you want? with expectation of verbal response

provides model of correct response

introduce a time delay in delivering the mand to fade the spoken prompt

expanding child’s utterance or following his or her lead to model related vocab (incidental teaching)

Question 8

What is the goal of PMT?

help children establish and to increase ? of ?
focus on increasing?

Answer 8

freq., clarity, and complexity of non-ling. comm. acts

Answer 9

rewards
support child’s need to comm.
child’s lead

Question 10

Responsivity education:
fostering ?

clinician works with the parent at home for ?

Answer 10

reciprocal interactions between parent and chid to help build child’s social comm. skills

teacher/paraprofessional

imitate clinician/ model language - without expectation of child to imitate

8-9 sessions/ 3-6 months

Question 11

EMT:

simple, receptive language to accompany activity

Question 13

Building their expressive language:

provide opportunities for child to ?

blended treatment results in ?
milieu teaching focused on eliciting ?
speech generating ?
focus on ?

Answer 13

AAC (PECS, sign language, or voice output device) as first step toward spoken comm.

vocalize and learn to shape vocalizations towards word use and use vocal behaviors as comm. tools

more comm. and word prod.
speech in joint attention and play activities
AAC device
pivotal skills (joint attention, imitation of sounds and gestures, symbolic play)

Question 14

Evidence based methods to decrease echolalia:
immediate:

delayed :
what plus what
what plus what for appropriate responses

Answer 14

cues pause point
lower rates of behavior

script training/visual cues

Answer 15
