Q

3 impacts of being in NICU

A
  1. Ototoxic drugs and the loudness in the NICU can cause hearing loss- over-stimulating environment
  2. Painful medical procedures- intubation can result in damage to larynx which can later impact swallowing; food aversion; trauma to tissue.
  3. Parents can’t spend as much time with infant in NICU- bond weakened. Baby is frail and fragile so parents may be afraid, bond is not as strong so they hold and play with baby less.

87
Q

Explain tips for working with parents of pre-intentional infants to optimize TURN TAKING

Coach families to play “monkey-see, monkey-do” or “copy cat” by mirroring any infant actions or sounds

89
Q

Explain tips for working with parents of pre-intentional infants to optimize POINTING THINGS OUT

A

coach families to engage the baby in joint attention routines by bringing things the child likes within view, and monitoring that the child is looking at them before making them move, make sound, or operate. Later, when the child is 6-10 months old, use gestural pointing to establish joint attention to objects at a distance in addition to bringing objects near the child

90
Q

Explain tips for working with parents of pre-intentional infants to optimize SETTING THE STAGE

98
Q

Explain formal assessment of pre-linguistic infants

A

Using a formal play assessment
Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales (Wetherby & Prizant, 2003)

When a child achieves a developmental level of 9 – 10 months or more on one of these assessments, readiness for intentional behavior is inferred

99
Q

Explain informal assessment of pre-linguistic infants

Observe child’s conventional and pretend play

Used to determine whether the child is demonstrating some recognition of common objects and their uses and can engage in simple pretend play schemes

100
Q

Example of a parent-report instrument for parents of pre-linguistic infants

A

Vineland Adaptive Behavioral Scales-II (Sparrow et al., 2005)

101
Q

If intentional behaviors are neither observed nor reported the clinician can attempt to elicit them by doing what?

A

modeling and observe whether the child can use these behaviors in his/her own play

102
Q

If the infant can produce intentional behaviors in response to a model, what does this mean?

A

some intentionality is likely to be present and the infant could benefit from intervention focusing on eliciting intentional communication

103
Q

If repeated attempts to elicit conventional and early pretend play do not succeed, the clinician may do what?

A

postpone targeting intentional communication and instead encourage parents on TIPS

104
Q

What should assessment of pre-linguistic infants tell us?

A

Assessment should tell us whether a play interaction with a familiar adult elicits any communicative behaviors…gestural, verbal or vocal

105
Q

Typical functions expressed at the pre-linguistic age (9-18 months) include

A
  1. Requesting objects and actions
  2. Attempting to get the adult’s attention on what the child is interested in

A

encourage parents to learn how to scaffold or support the child’s move toward more conventional communication

107
Q

4 ways to scaffold or support the child’s move toward more conventional communication

A
  1. Parents need to “up the ante” – techniques to elicit higher level responses from the child, once a response of some kind has been evoked
  2. Pre-linguistic Milieu Teaching
  3. Techniques using prompts: time delay, verbal and gaze interactions
