Clinical Procedures Flashcards
(152 cards)
What are four major behavior observations we look for?
1 presence or absence of beh
2 frequency of beh
3 situations of beh
4 duration/magnitude of beh
Sustaining attention to a task is an example of a ___ to behavior.
duration
Beyond a observing a percentage of the time we have ______. in what ____, and use a ____.
define behaviors we wish to observe; context; system to measure it
The guidelines for behavior observations include utilizing ____ skills, avoid comparison to a _____, separate ______, and avoid ______.
observation; predetermined standard; subjective from objective; personal bias or judgment
What are 5 applications for behavioral observations
1 assess difficult-to-test beh
2 validate info collected from other tests
3 extend assessment to other settings
4 ID functional rel btw stimuli in environment & behavior
5 monitor the effects of clinical intervention
What are the 3 basic principles of intervention?
1 eliminate the cause
2 teach compensatory strategies
3 modify a disorder by teaching specific speech, language, or pragmatic beh
What is an example of elimination of a the underlying cause of a disorder?
pe tube instertion
What is an example of teaching compensatory strategies?
learning disabilities
What is an example of modify a disorder by teaching specific speech, language, or pragmatic beh?
articulation instruction, fluency
____ are steps to achieve long term goals.
short term goals/objectives
Short term goals are steps to achieve ___.
long term goals
Objectives need to be ___ so as to determine materials, procedures and content to assess progress formally or informally to allow the client to participate meaningfully.
clearly defined
The client needs to be ___ as to the nature of the task.
informed
The client should also (ideally) ____ make goals
help
Objectives need to be clearly defined so as to determine ___, ___, and ____ to asess progress.
materials, procedures, and content
What is the first part of a behavioral objective?
do/performance statement (ID the action or what the client will actually do or complete)
What should we avoid in performance statements? 2
avoid avoid statements (won’t have a tantrum)
avoid abstract terms (understand, discover, be aware of)
What is the second part of a behavioral objective?
condition (situation in which the target beh is performed)
What are examples of conditions? 4
1 with modelling
2 in response (vs. initiation)
3. with picture stimuli/written stimuli/no stimuli
4 in a group (fluency difficulties are harder in group settings) or one on one
What is the third part of a behavioral objective
criterion (how well it is performed)
What are normal criteria for behavioral objectives?
80 - 95% 90% accuracy 8 out of 10 correct over three consecutive sessions in a five minute period
How are long term goals different than short term goals/objectives? 3
usually are functional
criteria for discharge from treatment
more general
What is task hierarchy? 3
1 when you make decisions for your client
2 usually work least-to-most complex
3 systematic (work towards the goal changing portions as nece)
What happens with short term goals that are acheived easily? 4
adjust complexity, change type of stimuli, change accuracy levels, change from receptive vs. expressive to make more challenging
