Naturalistic teaching stratagies Flashcards
(34 cards)
What are learning need of people with autism?
- difficulty with joint attention
- Language delays and odd use
- fixated interest and repetitive behaviors
- sensory sensitivities
- preference for concrete task
people with autism need:
individualized interventions for effective lerning
what are discrete trial instructions (DTI)
structured, one-on-one, repetitive skills
what is direct instruction?
teacher led, systematic, small units of mastery
what is precision teaching?
focus on accuracy and response rate, tracked using charts
what is function-based behavioral intervention?
behavior changes based on function (purpose of behavior)
what is verbal behavior?
language is taught based on its different purposes (mand, tact, etc.)
what are the types of verbal behavior?
- Echoic
- Mand
- Tact
- Intraverbal
- Autoclitic
- Textual
- Transcriptive
define echoic behavior
verbal response to a providing verbal stimulus (Ex: mother says ba and child repeats ba)
define mand behavior
a request made to obtain something (Ex: child says cookie and receives cookie)
define tact behavior
a label in response to a nonverbal stimulus (Ex: a child sees children on a bike and says fast)
define intraverbal behavior
a verbal response to another speaker (ex: Sandy says, “Did you see Billy catch that fly ball last night?” and Sean responds, “Yeah, that was a great catch.”)
define autoclitic behavior
verbal behavior that modifies the function of other verbal behaviors (ex: I said “come here” vs “i said, COME HERE”)
define textual behavior
seeing written verbal behavior and expressing it verbally (ex: child sees a stop sign and says stop)
define transcriptive behavior
hearing a vocal stimulus and writing it (ex: a teacher says confusion and the student writes confusion)
what is the purpose of naturalistic teaching stratagies?
they are more child-paced and avoid resistance, while also helping generalization of skills
when are NETs useful?
- low compliance, intensive behaviors, early stages of therapy
- used to transition to more structured ABA techniques
what can be taught using NETs?
1.joint attention
2. language
3. play
4. social skills
5. functional skills
why use NETs?
- motivation
- requesting
- multiple teachers
- natural
- less aversive
why are NETs effective for joint attention?
- engagement
- learner responses
- Access to reinforcers
- structure
why are NETs used as first ABA approaches?
- avoid aversiveness
- flexibility
what are the types of naturalistic approaches
- Incidental teaching
- Pivotal Response Training
- NET
- script fading
- Early Start Denver Model (ESDM)
- Milieu teaching
what is incidental teaching?
goal: teach language/communication through natural opportunities
what is pivotal response training?
goal: focus on pivotal areas
reinforces attempts not just correct responses
