Presentation Transcript

  1. Teaching in the Natural Environment Presented by Tracy Vail,MS,CCC/SLP

  2. Explore the Child • What do they like to look at? • How do they experience touch? • How do they experience sound? • What do their stims look like? • What “turns them on”? (potential reinforcers)

  3. Create a Pattern • Whatever the child does, do something different. • Make sure you each have a role. • Wait for the child to take an action to maintain the pattern. • Once the pattern is established, vary it slightly. • If you can’t create a pattern, try something different. • You’re looking for engagement, connection, shared attention.

  4. What does MO “look like”? • A movement • A sound • Eye contact • Some behavior indicating that there is something the child wants or needs

  5. What part does the child enjoy?

  6. Find the MO

  13. Normalize your Language • Slow your rate • Keep language level 1 step above the child • Prompt to make sure the child is successful but fade as soon as possible. • Obtain a natural “flow” of language as much as possible • Stay connected to watch how your language is affecting the child

  14. Shape at a level the child can attain • Start by shaping vowels • Move to CV syllables as soon as possible • Never reinforce when a child adds an inappropriate sound • Be aware of the maximum syllable shape the child can produce clearly

  15. Shape speech in the context of the Mand

  16. Teach EVERYTHING in NET • Increases generalization • The relationship is the context, the language is the content • Insures things being taught are relevant to the child’s life • Transfer to intensive teaching to increase response time and remove contextual prompts
