Study Notes
Foundations for TX Road Map
- Therapy definitions, considerations, and purpose
- Treatment strategies
- Aspects of a treatment plan
- Current research
Purposes of Treatment
-
Eliminating the root cause of language disorder:
- Specific to established conditions like cleft palate (requiring surgery) and hard of hearing (requiring amplified sound)
- Language disorders are often lifelong neurodivergent processes
-
Changing the disorder:
- Modifying language experiences through AAC (augmentative and alternative communication), sign language, or other strategies
-
Teaching compensatory strategies:
- Supporting existing communication skills
-
Changing the environment to adapt to the child:
- The child's behaviors do not change, but the environment is adjusted to better support them
Role of Therapy
-
Neurodivergence:
- Therapists are communication partners alongside the client
- The goal is for the child to be independent communicators
- The role is coaching and empowering clients, not fixing them
Error-Free Learning
-
Establish opportunities for communication:
- Providing cues and modeling for the child
- Using a pattern of wait-time for each trial strategy
- Validating the child's communication efforts
- Reinforcing the child's communicative behaviors
Evocative vs. Non-Evocative Strategies
-
Non-evocative strategies do not require a response from the child
- Self-talk
- Parallel talk
- Building up/breaking down
-
Evocative strategies aim to evoke responses from the child
- Communication temptations
- Behavior chain interruptions
- Up the ante
- Wait time
- Preparatory sets
- Cloze procedure
- Choices
- Cues (phonemic, visual, tactile)
Therapy Strategies: Evocative
- Strategies to elicit targeted speech/language response in patients
- Communication temptations
- Behavior chain interruption
- Increase expectation of communication forms
- Wait time
- Preparatory sets
- Cloze procedure
- Phonemic cues
- Visual cues
- Tactile cues
- Request for imitation
- Leading statements
- Questions
Considerations in developing TX plan
- Culture of the child's family of origin; recent trauma
- Religious considerations; languages & dialects
- Strengths or areas of the child's disability; environments important to the child
- Setting goals: including caregiver, educators, clients
Developmental Approach: Zone of Proximal Development
- Identifying the child's current ability level with support
- Determining how much support is needed to advance
- Measuring current level of understanding and independence
Setting Goals: Developmental Approach
- Prioritizing language behaviors used 10-50% of the time first
- Prioritizing behaviors understood in all receptive tasks
- Determining lowest priority if any
Setting Goals: Communicative Effectiveness
- Prioritize goals that will positively impact communication effectiveness
- Determine disability and clients’ communication development level
- Examine school-age and language expectations for children with varied communication skills
Treatment: Prelinguistic Stage
- Public Policy: Laws regarding birth to preschool and school-aged children with IEPs
- Focus on TX: Prevention: Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary
Infant Treatment in NICU
- Goals
- Achieving stabilization
- Preventing additional disorders
- SLP role in NICU
- Managing noise levels, over stimulation
- Advocating for oral motor development
- Teaching family about infant states of arousal
Treatment: Emerging Language (18-36 Months)
- Treatment plan to identify needs and strengths
- Determine goals
- Setting goals for context, intensity of treatment, and naturalism of treatment
- Strategies to use to achieve goals.
- Common problems to address include:
- Play
Developing Play Skills
- Assuming joint attention is present
- Identifying the stage of play the child is in
- Following the child's preferences in play sequences
- Explicitly guiding play sequences
- Incorporate social story approaches
- Use people games
- Use sensory games and materials
Increasing Lexicon
- Choosing developmentally appropriate words
- Choosing words that serve a range of functions
- Selection of words matching the child's phonological inventory
Developing Intentional Communication

- Form (initiations and increasing complexity)
- Receptive language (comprehension strategies)
Treatment: Developing Language
- Addressing common problems in language development
- Phonology
- Semantics
- Syntax
- Pragmatics
- Comprehension
- Play
Therapy Not Teaching
