what year was hanen developed?
answer
1975.
question
what is hanen
answer
a program for groups of parents whose children had significant language delays did something new instead of giving the children speech therapy once a week, they gathered the parents in a group for a series of sessions and taught them how they could assume a primary role in helping their child develop improved communication.
question
Parent-focused model of language intervention for toddlers and preschoolers with language disorders
answer
"it takes two to talk"
question
for parents of children with autism spectrum disorder
answer
"more than words"
question
in these specific programs, parents are taught to use:
answer
1) child-centered strategies (follow child's lead) 2) interaction promoting strategies (ask questions that continue conversation) 3) language modeling strategies (label, expand, comment)
question
for parents of children with ASD who are at the _______
answer
early stages of communication development
question
the content of the program is derived from studies of ______
answer
parent-child interactions that identify language facilitation strategies associated with development of communication skills
question
PARTICIPANTS included:
answer
late-talking toddlers between 18-30 months preschool-age children with cognitive and developmental delays preschoolers with specific language impairments
question
participants in reports of MORE THAN WORDS included:
answer
children 15-25 months of age who met the criteria for a diagnosis of ASD children 24-48 months of age who had a diagnosis of ASD or whose social behavior had raised suspicions of possible ASD
question
parental participants usually included:
answer
well-educated middle-income families english speakers self-refer to program motivated to help child
question
why is this list of parental participant characteristics not good?
answer
not diverse enough. these parents are more likely to come because they think they need it and because they have the time and resources to commit to it, whereas there are many children who's parents do not have the resources to bring them to this program
question
extensive clinical experience has indicated that most parents are successful if they are
answer
motivated, have resources for child care and transportation, attend all (for most of) sessions, are willing to share their experience with other families
question
the theoretical basis of hanen program contains two explanations:
answer
1) adult language input that is gramatically one step ahead of the child may facilitate development (within the child's zone of proximal development) parents are taught to reduce complexity of their language by using: -shorter utterances -slower rate of speech -fewer utterances 2) the responsivity "language hypothesis" contingency between the child's utterance and the adult's adult's input: (a) reduce contextual ambiguities (b) provides redundancy (c) increases the self saliency of the input
question
what is the zone of proximal development
answer
the difference between what a learner can do without help and what they can do with help
question
responsive language input is more easily processed and permits the child to
answer
redirect more cognitive resources for language learning
question
social interactionist perspective
answer
focusing on the child within the family context
question
family involvement is imortant : without it,
answer
intervention is likely to be unsuccessful, and what few effects are achieved are likely to disappear once the intervention is discontinued
question
the ultimate goal of family-centered invertenion is ti
answer
build capatcity in parents so that they can support their child's social and communication development in everyday contexts **teach parents how to do this at home
question
why is parent/caregiver involvement important?
answer
The child is at the home 80% of the time. if parents can learn how to do techniques, this will increase the child's language ability
question
naturalistic approach:
answer
strategies that identify and use opportunities for learning that occur throughout the child's natural activities, routines, and interactions: follow the child's lead, and use natural consequences
question
child initiated or child centered approach
answer
inherently more motivation and engaging fo the child when caregivers respond to child's initations, they help which leads to more communication
question
IT TAKES TWO TO TALK and MORE THAN WORDS have the following four components
answer
1) an orientation meeting (w/parent) 2) a preprogram assessment for each child 3) a series of group sessions for parents ((sometimes it is more helpful for parents to talk to each other//actively participating in this program)) 4) three video feedback sessions
question
a session is
answer
one hour and thirty minutes they have a total of thirty hours by the end
question
the mother and father-child interaction is _____
answer
videotaped for five minutes during free play the SLP records inventory of speech sounds, child's level of play, parents' interaction strategies, and keeps a record of child's communication abilities these observations form an informal baseline of child and parent behaviors
question
orientation: parents obtain an introduction video
answer
1) information about the program 2) the commitment involved 3) their role in the intervention process -other parents describe the program's impact on their child's communication development -parents decide if they want to continue with the program. If so, they move on to the preprogram assessment.
question
preprogram assessment: after the video-recorded play sessions, the clinician administer any informal or standardized assessment appropriate for the child
answer
finally, the Slp asks the parents their goals for their child (is the goal appropriate/realistic) goals are refined as the program progresses
question
it takes two to talk: goals for children are always phrased in terms o the _____
answer
strategies the parent will use in order to facilitate the child's achiev
question
pre-program assessment: after the video-recorded play sessions, the clinician administers any
answer
informal of standard assessment appropriate for the child
question
finally, the SLP asks the parents their
answer
goals for the child. **note if goal is appropriate/realistic
question
the SLP then provides
answer
direction regarding broad communication goals, based on the assessment results and preferences of the parents these goals are refined as the program progresses
question
It takes two to talk: goals for children are always phrased in terms of
answer
strategies the parent will use in order to facilitate the child's achievement of that goal. ex: if the child's goal is language initiation, the parent's goal will be "i will wait for my child to start an interaction using a single word" **silence is okay!!!!
question
the overall objectives of selecting intervention goals for parents are:
answer
facilitate positive reciprocal interactions encourage parents to use responsive language input that is well matched to their child's level of communication development
question
more than words: goals for children in this program are expressed ____
answer
the same way as in it takes two to talk: they are parent strategies that will be used to help the child achieve the goals
question

question
social support: has a direct positive influence on
answer
the well-being of the child and the family when a child has a disability families receive support from the SLP's, and from the other group members parents meet other parents in the program and are able to share their successes, frustrations, concerns and ideas (good/bad/ups and downs)

question
selecting materials in environmental arrangement
answer
1) select high preference and interesting to the child 2) select roys with multiple parts (e.g. mr potato head) 3) select toys that require assistance opening (playdough) 4) select toys that will alow you to take turns with your child 5) consider the child's play level (not too low/not too high)

question
managing materials
answer
1) be a gatekeeper, place yourself between your child and the material (to promote requesting) 2) be creative by mixing toys 3) promote turn-takking (e.g. SLP and your child have materials 4) promote routines (eg. building a tower, crashing it, rebuilding **remember to have fun
question
responding to all child communication
answer
responsiveness
question
when looking for responsiveness, you should notice
answer
all forms of child communication (simple gestures, vocalizations to word approximations and speech etc.)
question
in judging responsiveness, you should try to
answer
mirror the child's play actions and to map language onto the shared play (e.g.-if the child is driving a car, the adult will drive a car alongside and say "we drive!")
question
where should the target language you select be?
answer
at the child's target level MLU for half communication and slightly longer than the child's MLU (+1.5) for 1/2 if the child vocalizes while rolling out playdough, "roll" or "roll the playdough" be natural and grammatically correct.
question
current spontaneous performance as it relates to target level : 0-50 words: 50-100 words: spontaneous 2 word phrases
answer
1 word utterance (noun, verb) 2 word utterance (agent-action, action-object, modifier-noun) 3 word utterance (agent-action-object, action-object-location)
question
repeating child's utterance and adding new information
answer
expansions **most powerful strategy to increase diversity of language
question
what percent of adult communication is expansions?
answer
40-50%
question
child turn as it relates to adult expansions (point to ball) "ba" "ball" "my ball"
answer
ball Ball roll the vall (action-object) my ball (modifier-noun) my ball rolls (modifier-noun-action)
question
a pause with an expectant look is called a
answer
time delay
question
if the child does not respond to a time delay
answer
will continue playing and not require communication search for another opportunity
question
strategy as it relates to description of time delay pause in routine visual choice assistance inadequate portion
answer
after two to three repetitions in a routine, pause with an expectant look (about five seconds) hold up two items provide an activity that they need assistance (toy in a jar maybe??) provide less than needed (ex: a small ball of playdough, only a few blocks)
question
what are the four milieu teaching prompts

answer
mand-model procedure
question
how do you do a mand-model procedure?
answer
a prompt for communicative response: what do you want? what are you painting? an instruction to verbalize preference or give information -tel mommy what you want. tell me when you are ready an opportunity to indicate a choice -do you want milk or tea?
question
mand is a term that B.F. skinner used to describe a
answer
request
question
prompts child to imitate modeled language response
answer
model procedure
question
in the model procedure, the response is
answer
functional for the child: assess to reinforce-positive/functional
