Literacy-Based Speech and Language Therapy Activities makes improving your therapy and reducing your planning time a reality. This 200-page book is full of templates, explanations, and examples for you to experience the same success we do with our busy, diverse caseloads. Section 1 highlights The Research Behind Why Literacy-Based Intervention Works so well. In Section 2 we learn how to decide if language difficulties are due to an impairment, second-language influence, or cultural difference. After reading Section 3, you will be able to take any activity including your favorite storybook and design therapy that will last for several weeks. We provide pre-, during, and post-reading explanations and activities to assist in making your literacy-based intervention applicable to all age groups and disorder classes. Taking data and measuring progress are some of the most difficult things to do well. In Section 4, we walk step-by-step through a child's story to see what is present or missing, and how to write concrete, measurable goals. Section 5 is 50 pages of easily reproducible templates to be used individually or in groups. Lastly, in Section 6, we harness the power of high engagement and make Incredible Games that Match Story Content. And a bonus! We end this book listing some of the best storybooks for intervention that are divided by age, grade, topic, and goals.
Download or read book Curriculum Based Speech Therapy Activities written by Scott Prath and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Save time planning for therapy and increase your client and student outcomes by using curriculum-based intervention. Curriculum-based intervention materials can simultaneously enrich language and teach academic concepts. This volume contains 150 pages of activities focusing for the academic concepts: All about me, School, Animals, Family, Fall, and Friends.WHY IS USING CURRICULUM-BASED THEMES IMPORTANT TO SPEECH PATHOLOGISTS?The majority of students who receive speech therapy spend thirty minutes or one hour per week with their speech therapist. This equates to approximately 3% of a child's academic day. That means that the majority of her time is spent with parents and her teacher. We also know that the more ways (multi-modal) and times (opportunities) a child practices a skill, the more she will be successful. By using classroom themes we not only access the vocabulary topics, but also provide a way for the child to practice newly acquired communication skills on a topic that she is familiar with. Plus, the homework provides greater communication opportunities on each theme through interactions with the parent. INTERVENTION WITH YOUNG STUDENTS IS SUCCESSFUL WHEN IT:* Aligns to curriculum* Is multi-modal* Hands-on, table-time, floor time, * Has buy-in from all educational professionals* Increases parent involvement* Can be used in a variety of settings * Full-day, half-day, in-classroom, group therapy, and individual therapy* Takes into consideration second-language influence and low socio-economic status THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THESE MATERIALS PROMISE TO DO.These lesson plans were developed by a group of bilingual speech-language pathologists who provide therapy services to young children and their families through home- and school-based programs. The goal of many young classrooms is to provide early intervention in order to reduce the need for future services and improve academic outcomes later on. In this model, it is not uncommon for the speech-language pathologist to see a student in individual or group settings using therapy materials which are chosen solely with the child's goals in mind. While this paradigm works well for a handful of students, we found that greater gains can be made when therapy aligns to the curriculum and when parents can interact with a child based on what they bring home from school. By using the classroom themes we not only access the rich vocabulary from the classroom but also provide a way for the child to practice newly acquired communication skills on familiar topics. Plus, parent summary letters ensure greater communication opportunities on each theme through interactions with the home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the recent science about how therapy changes the brain can empower clinicians to face the challenges of increasingly demanding medical and educational settings. However, many speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are unaware of the vast impact new neuroscience research has on clinical practice. Cognitive and Communication Interventions: Neuroscience Applications for Speech-Language Pathologists is a practical guide that informs and enables SLP’s, clinical psychologists, and other therapeutic professionals to use new research to enhance their clinical outcomes. Although based on independent neuroscience principles and research, this unique book is designed to be a readable and scientifically sound clinical guidebook. Written with the busy clinician in mind, this professional resource uses accessible, easy-to-understand language to walk readers through the complexities of neuroscience and provide workable strategies for application. The beginning chapters break down important concepts, such as neuroplasticity, environmental stressors, and connectomics, to create a base of understanding. The middle chapters delve into recent investigations of factors that potentially affect typical brain development, as well as disrupt connectomics. The final chapters provide neuroscience considerations for intervention, including the “What, How, and When” of therapy and other important considerations for individualizing and maximizing outcomes. Throughout the book, clinicians will also find case studies that provide examples of the practical applications of neuroscience research and study questions to improve memory and inference.

Download or read book Speech and Language Therapy Intervention written by Karen Bunning and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2004-01-26 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text asserts the value of problem solving within a holistic approach to human communication, which considers culture, ethnicity and psychosocial issues. It is concerned with drawing out commonalities that exist in practice with people with a range of communication disabilities. As such, it represents a departure from more traditional texts on intervention with communication disability that "pigeon hole" therapy practice according to the particular client group or presenting condition. Articulation of the core conceptual frameworks and processes involved in intervention provides the foundation for clinical reasoning and implementation. This includes examining the different levels at which intervention is pitched and identifying the core therapeutic techniques used by speech and language therapists across the client spectrum. The text is supported by examples drawn from clinical practice.

Download or read book Embedding Evidence Based Practice in Speech and Language Therapy written by Hazel Roddam and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-04-05 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like all health professionals, speech and language therapists (SLTs) need to keep themselves up-to-date with the research evidence base that is relevant to their field of practice and be able to show how this contributes to their clinical decision-making. However, it is not always clear to practitioners how evidence-based practice (EBP) can be properly embedded in their day-to-day activities. In this valuable book, Hazel Roddam and Jemma Skeat present a wealth of instructive examples by SLT contributors from around the world, showing how clinicians, educators, and researchers have risen to the EBP challenge. Embedding evidence-based practice in speech and language therapy showcases the creative ways that SLTs are developing knowledge and skills for EBP, creating contexts that support the use of evidence in practice, and working towards making evidence easily accessible and usable. It includes real-life examples of how SLTs have encountered a clinical problem or situation and have accessed and used the evidence within their day-to-day practice. The contributors come from a wide range of work settings, from services situated within large organizations to those in independent practice, and represent a range of clinical areas, from paediatric to adult and across speech, language, voice, fluency, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), and dysphagia. This book is written for an audience of clinical practitioners, at any stage of their career, and is additionally a valuable resource for SLT students and lecturers.
