Final 2 (Weeks 4 - 6) Flashcards
(82 cards)
Progression of development of the symbolic dimension of play
- no manipulation of objects
- manipulation (exploration of toys)
- Functional (conventional use of toys)
- symbolic/pretend play (pretending to do something or be someone)
Progression of development of the social dimension of play
- isolate (seemingly not aware of others)
- orientation (child looks at peers, turns body towards others)
- parallel play (child plays among other children in the same play space)
- common focus/interactive play (turn-taking, giving, receiving, sharing materials)
Where do we start with teaching play and social skill targets?
- inventory of preferred items and activities, unique interests
- observation of child’s social and play behaviour
- consider hierarchy of difficulty
- behavioural objectives
Do-Watch-Listen-Say: Non-verbal social interaction
- social attention
- reciprocal interaction
- social regulation (are they able to point to the thing they want)
- shared attention (idea of “we are both looking at something)
Do-Watch-Listen-Say: Imitation
- motor
- verbal
Do-Watch-Listen-Say: Organization
making choices, attending to activity, toys in designated location, recognizes mine/yours, independent with familiar activities
Do-Watch-Listen-Say: Social Skills (Play)
- solitary (wander from station to station)
- social
Do-Watch-Listen-Say: Social Skills (Group Skills)
- attending
- waiting
- turn-taking
- following group directions
Do-Watch-Listen-Say: Social Skills (Community Social Skills)
how to behave in a restaurant, grocery store, hair salon, etc.
Do-Watch-Listen-Say: Communication (Communicative Functions)
- requesting items/activities
- responding
- commenting
- requesting information
Do-Watch-Listen-Say: Communication (Social-Emotional Skills)
- express feelings
- pro-social statements
Do-Watch-Listen-Say: Communication (Basic Conversational Skills)
- verbal
- non-verbal
Teaching social skills
- complete a task analysis to determine:
- who is involved
- how complex is the play instruction
- how much language is involved
- how much waiting is involved
- how many rules are involved
- how motivating is the activity
- how many materials are involved and who controls them
- how predictable is the interaction
Teaching Strategies (Modelling)
- video modelling and in Vivo modelling
- reciprocal imitation
When should video and/or in Vivo modelling be used?
- independent play
- pretend play
- peer play
What is reciprocal imitation?
clinician imitates the actions of the child
Teaching Strategies (Prompting)
- scripts
- picture schedules
- Social Stories
Are Social Stories meant to change behaviour?
No, they help to explain a complex situation or circumstance
Teaching Strategies (Shaping)
differential reinforcement of closer approximations of target play behaviour
Teaching Strategies (Chaining)
- backward chaining
- forward chaining
Teaching Strategies (Pivotal Response Training)
- clear instructions
- child chooses the materials
- intersperse known easy tasks with new (harder) tasks
- reinforcement of attempts
Teaching Strategies (Self-Management)
teach:
- what desirable behaviour is
- if the behaviour did/did not occur
- use some for of tracking behaviour
- self-administer reinforcement
What if…child is only interested in playing with one item?
- take note of what is reinforcing
- find something similar
- keep exposing child to other toy, and make reinforcement contingent on engagement with new toy
- stimulus-stimulus pairing: use that singular interest as the reinforcement
What if…child is engaging in stereotypy?
- interrupt and re-direct: be careful with this as you can create a larger problem for yourself
- use as reinforcement
- work into play action
