Week #6 Objectives Flashcards
How do we calculate % of delay?
subtract developmental age (adjusted age) from chronological age and then divide it by developmental age then multiply it by 10
how do children qualify for early intervention in IL?
-under 3 years old
-DHS identified as 30% or greater delay in one or more areas such as cognitive, hearing or vision (physical), communication, social, emotional, or adaptive
what does IDEA Part C say about services?
-how children qualify
-child-centered services
-development of IFSP
-what services can be provided

what does it mean to use family-centered practices?
we are not only providing services and resources for the child, but for the family as a whole

-info about the family
-present levels in all domains (physical, cognitive, communication, social, emotional, adaptive)
-statement of resources and priorities
-family concerns for child’s development
-lists of services and dates of expected outcomes
-6 month and 1 year reevaluation
-transition plan from EI to pre K
what happens when children who are receiving EI turn 3 years old?
- they begin the transition from EI to Pre K
-EI team develops transition plan
-evaluation is conducted to see if child qualifies for Part B services
What can we assess when children are in the prelinguistic stage and not talking yet?
-gestures
-joint attention
-functional use of objects
-babbling
what is the prelinguistic stage called?
perlocutionary and illocutionary stages
what is RE-PMT?
Responsively Education- Prelinguistic Milieu Teaching
What are the components of RE-PMT?
-Focusing on increasing frequency and complexity using a variety of ways for intentional communication (joint attention, gestures, etc,)
-Works with child individually several times a week until child acquires skills
-For children functioning developmentally between 9-15 months
What are the intended outcomes of RE-PMT?
to help children establish and or increase frequency, clarity, and complexity of their nonverbal communication acts (requests and comments)
what are some modifications and considerations for using RE-PMT w/ children who have Autism, Down Syndrome, and a variety of social, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds?
-sensory accommodations
-AAC devices or any other assistive technology
-cultural norms for social interaction
-Family expectations for communication
-Should take place in a child’s primary language; bilingual speech pathologist
-Incorporate materials that reflect the child’s culture such as books, activities, and toys
What developmental age is RE-PMT intended for?
9-16 months
What is the aim of RE-PMT approach?
to increase pre-linguistic skills
Linguistic mapping
give words to child’s communicative behavior/intent
What are the 3 basic procedures of PMT
prompts, models, provide natural responses
Evaluation vs Assessment
Evaluation: comprehensive and non-discriminatory, formal, standardized and structured
Assessment: ongoing, identifies a child needs, collaboration between professionals and family, informal and less structured, dynamic
IDEA requires an ____________ to determine eligibility for EI services
evaluation
What does the RE of RE-PMT involve?
Parent is instructed by a trained professional on how to respond reliably to their child’s communication efforts.
What does the PMT part of RE-PMT involve?
Interventionist-delivered approach w/ the intermediate goals of increasing fluency and complexity of a child’s spontaneous nonlinguistic communication acts.
What does MCT stand for and mean?
Milieu Communication Teaching: refers to the combined approach of RE-PMT w/ a language intervention after.
RE-PMT is typically followed by
language intervention
What are examples of language interventions that may follow RE-PMT?
Hanen Parent Programs, Milieu teaching, focused stimulation
What is the theoretical basis of RE-PMT?
Transactional Model of Social Communication Development
Transactional model of social communication development believes that early social and communication development are facilitated by ___________, __________ interactions between children and adults in their environment.
bi-directional, reciprocal
What are two important responses that parents use to support development using RE-PMT?
linguistic mapping and recasting
To be considered for RE-PMT, the child should have an interest in
playing with objects
MCT typically includes children with _____, _____, _____ or other developmental disorders.
ID, ASD, DS
