P in a PICO question stands for:
Person, populations, problems, perspectives
- What do I know about my client as an individual person?
- What do I know about the population of individuals with the same diagnosis as my client?
- What language and literacy problems are of greatest concern to my client?
- What can I learn through the perspectives of the client, their family, and additional support staff/caregivers?
I in a PICO question stands for:
Intervention
What intervention procedures are most likely to achieve desired outcomes for this client?
C in a PICO question stands for:
Comparison or Contrast
What alternative assessment, prevention, or intervention approaches should I consider in contrast with the one I am leaning toward?
O in a PICO question stands for:
Outcomes

What are the four questions of context-based language assessment & intervention?
- Outside In (Assessment): What does the context require?; Yields expected response
- Inside Out (Assessment): What does the child currently do?; Yields an observed response
- Inside-Out (Intervention): What might the child learn to do differently?; What is the mismatch between expected response and observed response?
- Outside In (Intervention): How should the context be modified?; Bridge from the observed response to the expected response
Assessment: Curricular Context, Current Abilities
Intervention: Potential Improvement, Modifications
List Grice’s 4 Maxims
- Maxim of Quantity: Provide no more or less information than is needed by your parnter to understand your message
- Maxim of Quality: Be truthful and say only what you have reason to believe to be true
- Maxim of Relation: Say only things that are relevant to the topic at hand

What are the 5 systems of language?
- Phonology
- Morphology
- Semantics
- Syntax
- Pragmatics
Phonology is:
The study of speech structure within a language, including:
* The patterns of basic speech units
* The accepted rules of pronunciation
The smallest units of sound that make up a language are called:
Phonemes
Morphology is:
The study of words, including:
* The principles by which they are formed
* How they relate to one another within a language
The smallest unit of meaning is called:
Morpheme
Syntax is:
The study of how individual words and their most basic meaningful units are combined to create sentences
Semantics is:
The culture-dependent ways in which a language conveys meaning including:
* Literal meaning of words
* Figurative meanings of words
Pragmatics is:
The ways the members of the speech community achieve their goals of using language including:

Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) means:
- Any placement outside the general education classroom must be justified by the child’s individual disability-related needs
- Students must have meaningful access to same age peers without disabilities, when appropriate
- Schools must consider providing any services in the general education classroom and other integrated settings
Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) means:
- Students with disabilities have the same right to K-12 public education that students without disabilities have
- In order to receive and benefit from that education, students with disabilities may need special education and/or related aids and services, provided under FAPE
BLB-CCCS stands for what 7 theoretical perspectives of language acquisition?
- Biological Maturation
- Linguistic Innateness
- Behaviourist
- Cognitive-Emotional
- Cognitive-Connectionist
- Cognitive-Constructionist
- Social Interactionist
Behaviourist Theory was founded by ________ and believes:
- B.F. Skinner
- Language is a verbal behaviour
- Language is learned through an event and a consequence to that event
The four operant principles of the behaviourist theory are:
- Echoic - Exact Repetition
- Mand - Request
- Tact - Labelling
- Reinforcement
ABC in Behaviourist theory stands for:
- Antecedent - Stimulus
- Behaviour - Response
- Consequence
The four types of consequences are:
- Positive Reinforcement - Adds something pleasant to increase the behaviour
- Negative Reinforcement - Removes something unpleasant to increase the behaviour
- Punishment - Adds something unpleasant to reduce the behaviour
- Extinction - Withholds something pleasant to reduce the behaviour
