The first long term goal states, Bernie will increase Expressive and Receptive Language across all communication settings by the end of the semester. The short term goals will consist of, Bernie will demonstrate correct sequencing skills in structured tasks 4 correct out of 5 trials over 3 consecutive sessions. Also, another short term goal will be set into place, Bernie will follow two to three simple directions when given multisensory in 4 correct out of 5 trials over 3 consecutive sessions.
Long and Short Term Goal 2:
The second long term goal states, Bernie will demonstrate appropriate use of pragmatics skills by the end of the semester. The short-term goal will state, Bernie will demonstrate appropriate turn taking skills given verbal …show more content…
This is beneficial for adults and clinicians because it allows them to expose various examples of specific linguistic target within meaningful linguistic contents. The target can and may be any type of vocabulary word, two-word utterance, or any other morpheme. Research by Hilmann and Wolfe (2010), supported the power of focused stimulation. Upon completing two versions of a focused stimulation program, a young child with expressive language delay (ELD) made substantial expressive language gains over the period of 16 treatment sessions. Many parents and clinicians working with young children engage in targeting specific vocabulary and the use telegraphic speech. Focused stimulation consists of hearing target words repeatedly. The child completed focused stimulations in two manners, in a simplified condition (1-2 word phrases) and in an expanded condition (producing words in a naturalistic manner). Although the child mastered new vocabulary in both condition, the simplified manner allowed for more learned words. The expanded manner was also beneficial because the child gained more total expressive language. This revealed that modifications to examiner input also impacted the child’s pragmatic language …show more content…
While both methods work to improve children’s literacy intervention, the embedded approach emphasizes on “self-initiated, naturalistic, and contextualized interactions with oral and written language”. This correlates with the Social Interactionism theory. Social Interactionism believed that the main reason to learn a certain language is to interact socially. Early language starts off as simple as facial expressions that progress to child-directed speech. Parents are essential to a child’s language development when they respond to a child’s output. “The explicit approach on the other hand, focuses on the importance of structured, sequenced clinician-directed instruction for the development of discrete skills” (Justice & Kaderavek, 2004). Although this model has not been critically examined, the outcomes have proven to be effective. For example, the study-illustrated children have benefited in the area of recognizing environmental print following adult-mediated literacy-play interventions. In addition, while using explicit clinician-directed programs children have experienced a great amount of phonological awareness. Teaching explicitly appropriate behaviors will be crucial for intervention for
