Front 2

Purpose of Intervention

Back 2

- Eliminate or minimize the underlying cause
- Teach compensatory strategies
- modify the disorder

Front 3

Principles

Back 3

broad, general, tested rules; conceptual bases for treatment

Front 4

Procedures

Back 4

based on principles; the specific actions of clinicians to effect changes in client behaviors; many procedures you can use based off of few principles

Front 5

Targets

Back 5

Client behaviors

Front 6

Treatment Program

Back 6

comprehensive plan for treatment of target behaviors, including treatment variables, measurement, procedures, generalization and maintenance strategies. And follow-up

Front 7

Pre-treatment Baselining Purpose

Back 7

- Provide multiple opportunities for a given behavior to occur
- clinician-designed measures that provide multiple opportunities for a client to demonstrate a given communication behavior

Front 8

Pre-treatment Baselining Procedure

Back 8

- the ratio of correct versus incorrect responses is calculated and the resulting percentage is used to determine whether the behavior should be selected as a therapy target

Front 9

Baseline

Back 9

Levels: Discrete level & Conversational level

# of trials:
Discrete - 20
Convo. - depends

# of samples: minimum is 3

Front 10

Normative Approach

Back 10

- based on known developmental sequences of communicative behaviors in normally achieving individuals
- therapy targets taught in order as they emerge developmentally
- most effective for articulation and language intervention with children

Front 11

Client-Specific Approach

Back 11

- based on an individual’s specific needs rather than according to developmental norms
- implemented across a wide range of disorders with both pediatric and adult populations
- frequency
- important to client
- client's potential mastery

Front 12

Components of Behavioral Objectives

Back 12

- The do statement identifies the action the client is to perform
- The condition identifies the situation in which the target behavior is to be performed; such as when it will occur, where, in whose presence, and with what materials or cues
- The criterion specifies how well the target must be performed for the objective to be achieved. Typically used criteria include

Front 13

Branching

Back 13

- When a task is either to easy or to hard for the client the clinician must modify the task
- this is achieved by increasing or decreasing the difficulty level by one step according to the therapy sequence

Front 14

Sequencing of Therapy Targets

Back 14

- Stimulus type
- Task mode
- Response level

Front 15

Stimulus Type

Back 15

- number of input used to elicit target responses
- direct physical manipulation
- concrete symbols
- abstract symbols

Front 16

Task Mode

Back 16

- amount of clinician support provided to obtain desired responses
- imitation
- cue/prompt
- spontaneous

Front 17

Response Level

Back 17

- degree of difficulty of target responses
- increased length and complexity of desired response
- decreased latency (actual time) between stimulus presentation and client response

Front 18

Specify nature of response

Back 18

form - production of /s/

level - in single words

mode - speaking, writing, gesturing, singing

Front 19

Long term goals should be

Back 19

consistent with exit criteria/ conditions for dismissal; consistent with outcomes

Front 20

Short term goals: Behavioral objectives

Back 20

based on present level of performance

developed in incremental steps toward long term goals

Front 21

objectives are written

Back 21

before intervention is provided

Front 22

Outcomes

Back 22

are assessments after the intervention has been provided

they are bases on the premise of functionality
