AAC Exam #2 Flashcards
(55 cards)
results in hypertonia (increased muscle tone).
Spastic CP
involuntary movements as well as changing patterns of muscle tone across the day
Dyskinetic CP
slow, writhing (twisting), involuntary movements
Athetoid CP
associated with increased or decreased muscle tone, causes problems with balance and positioning the trunk and limbs in space.
-wide based unsteady gait when walking and have difficulty controlling the arms and hands when reaching
Ataxic CP
incorporate elements of both VSD and grid displays.
-more high tech devices have this display
Hybrid displays
are similar to activity displays in that they contain symbols that are associated with specific activities or routines arranged schematically.
- depicts both the environmental & interactional context of an event that is personally relevant to the person with CNN
- easier for younger children
- young children with developmental disabilities can learn quite rapidly & take more social turns
Visual Scene Display
a grid display system that combines a number of vocabulary organization strategies to support system that combines a number of vocabulary organization strategies to support communication for different functions.
-have to have good impulse control
Pragmatic Organization Dynamic Display (PODD)
are the most popular grid display strategy involves organizing vocabulary according to event schemes, routines, or activities
Activity Grid Display
display involves grouping symbols according to superordinate categories such as people, places, foods, feelings, drinks, and action words.
-useful between 6-7
Taxonomic Grid Display
is the first type of grid display that organizes vocabulary items according to the parts of speech and their relationships with a syntactic framework.
Semantic-Syntactic Grid Display
This is a congenital, neurological speech sound disorder in which the precision and consistency of movements underlying speech are impaired in the absence of neuromuscular deficits.
- AAC is a secondary treatment.
Apraxia
Apraxia:
AAC can help with ______. Treatment primarily focuses on ________________, but __________ is first. AAC is great for ________________ for individuals who have apraxia working on _________________.
-want a lot of mirror time and visual feedback
sequencing improving natural speech production communication communication breakdowns increasing intelligibility of connected speech
How do you support writing?
- OT & PT can recommend appropriate seating & positioning as well as adaptations to writing & drawing tools (adaptive pencils)
- Computer technologies facilitate access to early writing activities through drawing programs & key board access (intellikeys)
- model written text
- give opportunities to draw pictures, create birthday cards, write letters or email messages pg. 320
How do you provide sufficient time for literacy instruction?
- 130 to 150 minutes of literacy instruction per day
- collaboration
- push in model
- start instruction as early as possible –> it is never to late to learn conventional literacy skills
- give them books that they like (touch and feel) – or adaptive book for older children to augment comm
- preteaching – have answers ready for them to respond
pg. 322
How do you use proven, effective instructional techniques?
most effective literacy intervention combines both direct instruction in key skills and numerous opportunities to apply these skills in the context of meaningful and motivating literacy experiences
1) instructor models target
2) instructor provides guided practice in the form of scaffolding to help the learner perform the skill successfully
3) instructor gradually fades support until learner is able to perform the skill successfully and independently
* provide corrective feedback
How do you provide appropriate instructional adaptations and support to accommodate the needs and skills of individuals with CCN?
- speech
- motor
- sensory/perceptual
Speech Impairments:
1) provide alternative responses (figure 12.3)
2) provide insight into areas of strength & difficulty & thus support instructional decision making
3) compensate for lack of speech production oral rehearsal -(external scaffolding)
Motor impairments:
1) input from OT & PT
2) Alternative access to support their full participation/identify the most effective & efficient access techniques for the individual
Sensory/Perceptual Impairment:
1) comprehensive & auditory assessments are completed & accommodations are in place
pg. 324-326
How do you build positive rapport and ensure student motivation for learning?
- Get face to face
- Errorless learning - support success from the beginning
- Determine motivators/ interests & incorporate these into instructional activities
- Create obstacles to get motivators
- Use lots of wait time
pg. 327
the instructor does the skill and the learner observes.
Model
The instructor and learner do the skill together.
Guided Practice
The learner does the skills independently while the instructor observes and provides feedback.
Independent practice
The instructor provides feedback to the learner
Feedback
8 steps for communication facilitator instruction:
1) Introduce target strategy
2) Describe the strategy
3) Demonstrate the strategy
4) Verbal practice
5) Controlled practice and feedback
6) Advanced practice and feedback
7) Reassess facilitator skill and commitment for long-term strategy use
8) Generalization
observe the facilitator with the person with CCN and assess the frequency & accuracy of target strategy use;review results w/ facilitator & secure commitment to learn strategy
Introduce the target strategy
describe the target strategy and its component steps, and explain its potential positive impact on the person with CNN
Describe strategy
