School-Age general info Flashcards
phonological awareness
***Owens
this term refers to the explicit awareness of the sound structure of a language or attention to the internal structure of words
Phonological awareness difficulties may be linked to________
***Justice et al.
later problems in reading and spelling
–especially if the child has SSD are phonological in nature and accompanied by difficulties in language are at the greatest risk for failing to achieve phonological awareness and eventually literacy skills
treatment for phonological awareness options (broad)
***Kirk & Gillon
treatment is generally designed to increase children’s awareness of the sound structure of language….(sound-blending, rhyming, alliteration)
always involve the _____ in therapy
the family
always for language skills the clint should focus on _____ lang and ____lang
***Hedge & Maul
academic and social language –the language needed for success in school and lang needed to be socially competent
children who are regularly introduced to books and readings will ______
***Owens
not only develop better language e skills, but will also perform better in the classroom
how do you reinforce language targets that are being taught?
use a multimodal approach —will benefit from seeing, hearing, and touching
***Roseberry & Mckibbon
with school-age children you always need to collaborate with ______
the classroom teacher
basic behavior techniques – treatment
**Hedge & Maul
- instuctions
- modeling
- prompting
- shaping
- manual guidance
- fading
- immeadiate, response-contingent feedback
treatment for children with telegraphic speech
expansion
“doggy bark”
“Yes, the dog is barking”
OR
extension
-adding in new information to what the child says
–can be done at home too
focused stimulation treatment
***effective for production and comprehension of the form — WEISMER & ROBERTSON
-the clinician repeatedly models a target structure to stimulate the child to use it….usually during a play activity, and is designed to focus on a particular language structure
milieu teaching tx
***HANCOCK & KAISER
this method teaches functional communication skills through the use of typical, everyday verbal interactions that arise naturally
—examples of the approach:
incidental teaching
mand-model
time delay
one way to do early language stimulation
joint routines or interactions
-clinicians can use routines such as peek-a-boo to establish interaction with a child —encourage the child to use the repetitive words, phrases, and sentences
joint book reading can help establish….
–allows for repetitive use and practice of the same concepts and phrases and is also helpful for establishing joint attention (& can help in vocabulary acquisition and a sense of story grammar in children)
-the clinicians stops at points containing target language structures and prompts the children to supply the appropriate words, phrases, or sentences
script therapy
***OLSWANG & BAIN
- good way to target to target different forms when reducing the cognitive form (imbedding it in a familiar routine – and can switch it up)
- nonverbal or verbal scripts and routine
Story grammar tx
***Larson & McKinley
-for children who have difficulty with the structure of narratives
- setting statements
- initiating events
- internal response
- theme of the story
- goals of the characters
- attempts
- direct consequences
- conclusion
how to treat complex grammatical forms?
recasting
-the child’s own sentence is repeated in modified form, but the clinician changes the modality or voice of the sentence rather than simply adding grammatical or semantic markers
–still can have the child model the recast, provide corrective feedback, fade modeling, reinforce correct imitations
reauditorization tx
repeats what the child says during language-stimulation activities
self-talk tx
***SINGER & BASHIR
the clinician describes her own activity as she plays with the child, using language structures that are appropriate for that child, the clinician might say something like “Look, I am putting the dress on the doll”
teaching literacy skills…. integrating _____ with _____ tx is very efficient
**Nelson
integrating literacy instruction with language treatment
with both language and written lang/reading therapy…the SLP should always do what??
should select the language targets in consultation with the teacher to better integrate language teaching with classroom instruction —-selecting target words, phrases, and sentences are especially used in the classroom and books that child is expected to read will be especially useful
family involvement in literacy tx
- –SLP should work work with the family on the importance of a literacy rich home environment and to provide the child with books, pens, etc.
- provide role-models by engaging in literacy activities themselves
- trained to read more to the child
- encourage printing the alphabet and writing simple words at an early age
TTR
type-token ration
TTR represents the variety of different words the child uses expressively, thus assessing the child’s semantic or lexical skills
for children 3-8 years old, the TTR is typical 1:2 or .5 —the total number of words spoken by the child during the language sample is usually about 2x the number of different words in the sample
what is a learning disability?
decreased achievement relative to expected ability levels (IQ)
- memory
- neuro disorders
- attention
- challenege with receptive lang
