Explain Continuous schedule

A

You reinforce at each occurrence of behaviour

Used in the initial stages of therapy

Q

Explain Intermittent schedule

A

Reinforce some but not all occurrence of the behaviour

Used in later stages (for maintenance)

A

initially reinforce for attempts close to target, then gradually reinforce when its closer to target sound

Q

The “dos” of shaping

A
  1. Keep end target in sight and select aspect of speech that is already present
  2. Be a keen observer and listener
  3. Proceed gradually
  4. Train one aspect at a time
  5. End session on a positive not (substep)

Q

Feedback

A
  • Must be immediate
  • Can change behaviour
  • Needs to be concise
  • Tell them what they need to do to do better
  • Compare where they started to where they are
  • Show progress visually
  • Give it consistently

Q

Instruction: General

A
  • Describe skills to be learned
  • May have to restate instruction if not understood
  • Keep them simple
  • Use natural speech
  • Practice giving direction to someone else
  • Use visuals if possible
  • Use as little s necessary

Q

Instruction: Articulation

A
  • Give instruction on how to produce a specific sound
  • Most important for those who dont have the sound
  • Describe tongue/lip position, airflow, mouth opening/closing

Q

Instruction: Language

A

When targeting a specific aspect of language give the rule about when it is used
Set up activities that will make it relevant for language target to be used

Its the antecedent stimulus

16
Q

How to effectively model

A
  • use clients correct response as a model
  • modeling is consistently required in early stages to establish target
  • Reinforce imitation initially then move to elicited response
  • Dont terminate too early but dont overuse
17
Q

What is imitation

A

New behaviour that follows a novel antecedent event

18
Q

Who has difficulties imitating

A

Children with developmental difficulties

19
Q

Prerequisite skills for imitating

A
  • attending to model
  • looking at clinician
  • looking at objects/pictures identified
  • staying seated
20
Q

What is prompting

A

can also be called cues
They are stimuli that preced or co-occur with the response
Plan to fade prompts as soon as possible

21
Q

What are different types of prompts

A
  1. verbal
  2. gestural
  3. auditory
  4. visual
  5. positional
  6. physical
22
Q

Example of VERBAL cue

A

use your snake sound

23
Q

Example of GESTURAL cue

A

pointing to a button on an SGD

24
Q

Example of AUDITORY cue

A

placing emphasis on grammatical marker

25
Q

Example of VISUAL cue

A

Pictures, text

26
Q

Examples of POSITIONAL cue

A

placing materials in certain ways

27
Q

Examples of PHYSICAL tasks

A

physically guiding the childs hand

28
Q

The “dos” of prompting

A
  • they are needed more frequently in the beginning
  • fade them when response is more reliable
  • subtle short over lengthy
  • silent gestural over verbal
  • fade by making them shorter
  • use parital modeling to cue response
  • give cues promptly
29
Q

Hierarchies of Prompt Fading: Most to Least

A

Full physical - partial physical - gestural/visual - independent

Used in AAC

30
Q

Hierarchies of Prompt Fading: Least to Most

A

Opportunity for independent - gestural (if previous not successful) - partial physical - full physical

31
Q

Hierarchies of Prompt Fading: Graduated guidance

A

shadow persons hand and prompt immediately as needed

32
Q

Hierarchies of Prompt Fading: Time delay

A

Fixed or progressive time delay after presentation of stimulus
used in language intervention
