The purpose of intervention
1. change/ eliminate underlying problem (normal language learner),

2. change the disorder (improve, make a better communicator),


3. compensatory strategies (teach tools for better functioning),


4. modifying the environment (maximizing communicating potential)

How to identify purpose
1. age of child,

2. intervention history,


3. nature of the disorder,


4. environment child must communicate in

Ways to change language behaviour
1. facilitation, 2. maintenance, 3. induction
Facilitation
Bring the child up to “normal” language learner status in faster time—rate of learning is accelerated but final outcome remains. Ex. phonological awareness facilitating literacy.
Maintenance
Maintaining a behaviour that would otherwise be lost. Ex. babbling in infants who have had cleft palate surgery.
Induction
Intervention completely determines if endpoint is reached (wouldn’t have happened at all otherwise). Ex. teaching sign language to child with hearing impairment.
Three principles to EBP
1. clinician expertise,

2. client’s preferences and values,


3. best research evidence

Steps to developing intervention plans
1. using available scientific evidence,

2. setting goals (based on Ax),


3. prioritizing goals (ZPD, Ax)

Priority scale based on current level (ZPD)
highest: forms and fxs used in 10-50% of all contexts,

high: forms and fxs used 1-10% in all contexts, but understood,


low: forms and fxs used 50-90% of all contexts, OR forms not used and not understood.

Continuum of naturalness (intervention approaches)
MOST to LEAST natural: child-centred, hybrid, clinician-directed. Also parent-based (fairly natural)
Types of clinician-directed approaches
drill, drill play, modelling
Types of child-centred approaches
self talk/parallel talk, imitation, recasting, build-ups/breakdowns, expansions, extensions
Types of hybrid approaches
vertical structuring, milieu training, script therapy, focused stimulation, interactive book reading
Service delivery models
clinical (1:1, group training, child’s home/ room at school), consultant, language-based classroom, collaborative
Ways to naturalize intervention
1. make language informative,

2. increase motivation to communicate within a task,


3. use cohesive texts (semantically and syntactically related),


4. move from here and now to there and then
