lang dis.: overview of tx & infants Flashcards
the continuum of naturalness
-organizes therapy based on similarity to real life
-critical to meeting the needs of client
most natural
child-centered
-indirect language stimulation
-daily activities
-facilitated play
in the middle
hybrid
-milieu therapy
-focused stimulation
script therapy
-interactive book reading
*more structured or scripted
least natural
clinician directed
-drill
-drill play
-modeling
direct teaching
-discrete trial training
*good for school-age that need that structure
follow the child’s lead
CCT
the child decides what to play with and how
wait & respond
CCT
use cues from the child to initiate an exercise or model a form -> interpret an action as an intention to communicate
self talk and parallell talk
cct
self -> we describe our own actions
parallel -> we give play by play of childs actions
*neither require child to talk
imitation
cct
imitate what the child says
expansions
cct
add grammatical markers to make an acceptable adult utterance.
*client is missing grammar, you fill it in adding the grammar
semantic elaborations
cct
add semantic info to a child’s remark.
*ex. child says doggy house, you say “the dog is in the house! he goes in abd out!”
buildups and breakdowns
cct
focus on syntax by saying things in different ways
recasts
cct
pragmatically appropriate response to child that models a grammatically correct utterance. recasts are like expansions but add the requirement that you naturally pass the conversational turn
*adds grammar but more naturalistic, like in conversation
verbal reflective question
cct
-recasts that repeat part of the child’s utterance but pass the conversational turn.
*doggy house is responses to with “the doggy is in the house isnt he?”
vertical structuring
cct
clinician uses incomplete child utterances to build complete, grammatical utterances
*would want to use with client that has 2-word utterances
3 characteristics of hybrid therapy
- target one or a small set of specific language goals that are identified, perhaps through criterion-referenced procedures
- clinician retains control materials necessaru to create or intorudce language goals
- prepared lingustic stimuli are used to respond to child’s communication and to model and highlight the forms being targeted
focused stimulation
ht
tempt child to use target forms; use a high number of models, more than is natural in typical conversation (pushing the good models)
milieu therapy
ht
3 components
1. environmental arrangement aka communicative temptations (taking a toy, handing it to the client, and waiting)
2. responsive intervention
3. conversation based contexts
incidental teaching
ht
arrange the environments with things the client needs but that are out of reach. the clinician uses focused attention, making eye contact and waiting
*tell me what you want
mand-model
ht
a mand is a request from the clinician for an utterance
*something they can say
script therapy
ht
common routines the child is familiar with. for example, passing out nametags or getting ready for story time. 2 options: introduce cloze procedure or disrupt the routine
interactive book reading
ht
reader uses 1) commenting, 2 asking questions, 3 responding by adding a little more, and 4 giving time to respond o enhance language input, structure is provided by the book
clinican directed therapy
the clinician specifies the materials, how the client will use them, the type and frequency of reinforcement
-appropriate when intellectual deficits may impede incidental or more natural learning
discrete trial training
cdt
heavily structured events or trials that are rpeated frequently
-salient targets and no distractors
explicit instructions
telling then what you want them to do
-clients often benefit from this early in therapy (beginning a newactivity or working on a new target)
