Q

Therapy implication:

What do we do if we are working with a ch that cannot express 50 words yet?

Train them to say at least 50 words first, then you can teach them to use 2 word combinations. Do not teach the 2 word combinations first

2
Describe the relation of nonexistence and provide an example
Child indicates that an object does not exist in a setting where it has come to be expected. e.g., Says Allgone or Bear when placed in crib from which a favorite teddy bear is absent
2
Describe the relation of disappearance and provide an example
Child indicates that an object has been present is currently absent. e.g., Says All gone or Ball after watching a tossed ball roll under the sofa.

2
Why are combining words significant?
Because it indicates that toddlers: - have the cognitive ability to perceive and respond to relationships between objects or events - Have advanced enough oral motor coordination to produce longer, more phonologically complex syllable strings
3

18 months
3
Cognitive Developments Enjoys pictures books, begins to recognize familiar pictures
18 months
3
What are the characteristics of true 2-word utterances?

4

Labeling- ("rice kris pies" when cereal box is taken out) - Greeting or addressing people when they appear ("Hi, Aunt Celeste") - Calling, or gaining another's attention (child shouts "Mommy" from his swing) - Repeating, or reproducing part of all of an utterance (echoes Mom's utterance "oh #%&!?" when she stubs her toe) - Requesting action- asking someone to do something ("uppy" when mark wanted to be picked up) - Requesting answer- asking for information (Mark "Do snakes kiss? Does God have skin?") - Protesting- expressing dislike or rejection (Mark when I wanted to comb his hair: "no thank you, please")

8
Do toddlers need presupposition?

What is turn taking?
- Conversational skills- speakers and listeners appropriately switch roles - each turn should contribute something new to the conversation - In American culture, listeners expected to politely wait until the other person is done talking before they take their turn - Even by 24 mod. most toddlers take few turns- conversations are brief
10

13
What are interrogative utterances?
Request for appropriate word e.g., "what's that?"

- Motherese | - prompts. which evoke toddler utterances
16
What do prompts include?
1. Open ended questions- e.g., "What happens if we don't fee the dog?" 2.

Research What did Roberts & Kaiser 2011 find?
- Working with parents as little as once a week can provide benefits - Extensions are very useful; easily taught to parents, and they increase ch's morphosyntactic skills
26

29
What is incidental teaching?
Adult carefully observes child, takes advantage of spontaneous teachable moments
30
What are ways to implement incidental teaching?
- Ask open-ended and topic-continuing questions rather than closed questions - When the child says something, respond in a topic-continuing way
31
Research What did Paul & Norbury 2012 suggest for communicative temptations?
- Eat desirable food in front of children, don't offer any - wind-up toy- demo, then offer to children - Give blocks, small toys to drop into a can - Roll or throw a ball to children; wait for her to roll or throw back - Put a desired toy or food into a plastic container that children can't open - turn away during a game or activity
