What are the 3 Phases of Treatment?
Establishment Phase
Generalization Phase
Mainteneance Phase
During the Establishment Phase, Session Goals are directed toward:
And producing:
The Establishment phase generally includes WHAT type of tasks?
These tasks refer to:
The Tasks describe:
During the Establishment Phase, Session Goals are directed toward: eliciting the
target sound
And producing: spontaneously
The Establishment phase generally includes what type of tasks? Production Tasks
These tasks reference WHAT and describe them with WHAT? Maintaining factors
Tasks describe: Treatment Procedures
During the Generalization Phase, Session goals are directed toward:
Session Goals target the achievement of: (5)
,During the Generalization Phase, Session goals are directed toward: extending the
domain of production of target sound
Session Goals target the achievement of: sound production in different positions,
word shapes, phonetic environments, linguistic units, pragmatic contexts
During the Maintenance Phase, Session Goals are directed toward more:
Session Goals are also directed toward making the client more:
During the Maintenance Phase, Session Goals are directed toward more: complex
generalizing activities (i.e. spontaneous conversations)
Session Goals are also directed toward making the client more: responsible for
monitoring his own productions
What are 2 aspects of intervention planning and what do they entail?
Determining Goals: This is making decisions about what you WANT the child to
ACHIEVE, and how long it should take to achieve these targets
Determining Procedures: This is making decisions about approaches and techniques
to be used by the clinician to facilitate the achievement of goals
What are the 3 Types of Intervention Goals?
Long-term Goal (Ultimate client change)
Short-term Goal (Semester length goal that leads to LTG achievement)
Session Goal (day to day - leads to STG achievement)
When creating goals, how should you select the behaviors to target? (4)
1. Behaviors that make immediate and socially significant difference in communication
skills of client
2. Most useful behaviors that may be produced/reinforced in a natural setting
3. Behaviors that expand communicative skills
4. Behaviors that are linguistically and culturally appropriate for client
How do you prioritize and set goals? (4)
,1. Data regarding order of acquisition and language developmental norms
2. Evaluate the context that structures are produced and not produced in
3. See if any goals interact so they can be targeted simultaneously
4. Determine which goals have a great impact on the overall communicative abilities of
the client
Formulating Short-term goal for a phonological process:
Consider skills that can be trained in a:
4 other MAIN guides in choosing a short-term goal for phonological process:
Consider skills that can be trained in a: Short Period of time
1. Will have early success and easy to remediate/fix
2. Crucial for the child
3. Process that affects early sounds
4. Processes that interact (they affect greatest number of sounds)
When determining a short-term goal for a process, how do you determine if it will
result in easy success and be easy to change? (4)
1. Process that is not consistently used might be easier to change
2. The impact on overall speech intelligibility
3. Choosing a sound already in a child's phonetic inventory
4. Choosing sounds that the child is stimulable for
When determining a short-term goal for a process, how do you determine if it is crucial
for the child? (3)
1. Choose a process that is deviant, unusual or idiosyncratic like glottal stops
2. Choose a process that will make an impact on overall intelligibility (again)
3. Choose a process that will result in homonymy (when they use /d/ all the time and all
their words sound the same: zoo, too, do would be do, do do)
, What are 2 other additional considerations when determining a short term goal for
a process:
1. Developmental level of process
2. Child's individual pattern
- Frequency of process use (one process more than another)
- Range of sounds in process (only a few phonemes?)
- Stage of process dissolution (what will change over time? Will the process improve by
itself?)
A Rationale for a Short-Term Goal is providing what?
What should the rationale reference?
A Rationale for a Short-Term Goal is providing what? : provides evidence to support
goal choice at a chosen point in time
What should the rationale reference?
- Developmental norms
- Evidence from assessment (Stand. Test, Connected sample, stimulability
testing)
- Support decisions with research evidence when possible
EXAMPLE: Jack ; 4 years old
Give a Long-term goal for a PROCESS
& Short-term Goal for a PROCESS
Long-term Goal: Jack will eliminate phonological processes not appropriate for his age
Short-Term Goal: Jack will produce final consonants in words and phrases
(another example of a STG is "Jack will produce weak syllables in words and phrases)
When writing a rationale for Jack's STG for a process, you would say:
