Teaching Strategies Flashcards
8 Key Teaching Strategies
Direct Modeling Indirect Modeling Shaping Prompts Fading Expansion Negative Practice Target Specific Feedback
Teaching Strategy where clinician models and client imitates
Direct Modeling
Teaching Strategy where clinician demonstrates a specific behavior frequently to expose a client to numerous well-formed examples of the target behavior
Indirect Modeling
Teaching Strategy where target behavior is broken down into small components and taught in an ascending sequence of difficulty
Shaping (by successive approximation)
Teaching Strategy where additional verbal or nonverbal cues to facilitate production of target behavior
Prompts
Two classes of prompts
Attentional Cues (bring focus to task) Instructional Cues (help teach target behavior)
Teaching Strategy where stimulus or consequence manipulations are reduced in gradual steps while maintaining the target response
Fading
Teaching Strategy where clinician reformulates a client’s utterance into a more mature or complete version
Expansion (recast)
Teaching Strategy where intentional production of erred response in order to highlight the contrast between the error and the desired response
Negative Practice
Teaching Strategy where clinician provides information regarding the accuracy or inaccuracy of a client’s response relative to the specific target behavior
Target Specific Feedback
T/F One purpose of homework is to introduce new skills.
False. Homework should only reinforce what has already been presented and practiced in therapy.
What is the purpose of homework? (2)
Strengthen Response
Facilitate Generalization
In Session Design, what is a “success oriented” task order?
Easy to Hard
What are the 4 steps in a basic training protocol?
- Present Stimulus
- Wait for Response
- Present Consequence
- Record Response, Remove Stimulus
What 3 factors contribute to the dynamics of therapy?
Clinician-Client Relationship
Pace of Session
Proxemics
The physical location of a clinician in relation to the client
Proxemics
What are some advantages of a group therapy session?
“Typical” developing individual can provide a model
Clients can provide support for each other
Relationships can develop
Peer interactions facilitate generalization
In order to facilitate data collection, what should you have prepared?
Data sheets
T/F All clinicians should use the same notation system.
False. Use a notation system relevant to you, but be consistent.
When collecting data, always indicate what the _____________ was, and record every _____________-_______________.
Goal;
Stimulus-Response
A set of stimuli that are equivalent to but different than those used for treatment. Responses are elicited without target-specific instructions and without reinforcement.
Probe
What is the most important question to ask when troubleshooting therapy?
“Am I enjoying the interaction?”
Model of service for children who need extra help but do not have an IEP
RTI (Response to Intervention)
Service model based upon scientific data, clinician expertise and the individual values and beliefs of the client
EBP (Evidence Based Practice)
The practice of modifying a task when a client does not perform as predicted; a chosen task turns out to be too difficult or too easy for the individual, the clinician recognizes it, and immediately adapts the teaching.
Branching
Service model based on determining how effective a treatment is, based on multiple baselines, and how well treatment alters a behavior in an individual, then implementing it.
