Principles of Pediatric Intervention Flashcards
What is the purpose of intervention?
- Change or eliminate underlying problem
- Change the disorder by teaching specific behaviors
- Teach compensatory strategies
- Change the environment (this is never the only thing that you do)
What are the four steps when developing intervention plans?
- Choose goals
- Prioritize
- Choose procedure (EBP)
- Monitor progress
When setting goals for intervention, we typically write SMART goals. What does SMART stand for?
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Relevant
Time-based
What would be considered low priority for intervention?
Forms and functions used in 50% to 90% of required contexts (too easy)
Forms the client does not use at all and does not demonstrate understanding of in receptive task formats (too hard and not stimulable for)
What would be considered high priority but not highest priority when looking at intervention?
Forms and functions used in 0% and 10% of required contexts but understood in receptive tasks
What would be considered highest priority when looking at intervention?
Forms and functions clients use in 10% to 50% of required contexts
How do setting priorities and the ZPD relate in the context of goal setting?
Want to do something that the child is able to do with support and that they are stimulable for
AKA something that is in their zone of proximal development
What are some features of basic goals?
Important for functionality or because of severity
Usually general
Correspond with LTGs in an IEP
What are features of intermediate goals?
More specific within a basic goal
Usually several levels of intermediate goals for each basic goal
What are features of specific goals?
Specific instances of a language form, content or use identified in intermediate goals
“Steps along the way” to the basic goals
How is evidence-based practice used during treatment of children with language disorders?
- Assess research critically
- Recognize quality studies
- Recognize the strengths and weaknesses of relying on research studies for decision-making
What are the different processes of intervention?
Child-centered
Hybrid
Clinician-directed
What is child-centered intervention?
Daily activities
Facilitated play
Minimal prompting
Client is showing the use of the skill
What is hybrid intervention?
Milleu therapy
Focused stimulation
Script therapy
Client is practicing
What is clinican-directed intervention?
Drill
Drill play
Clinician directed modeling
Clinician is teaching
