Tossing out the Toys: Goal Driven Therapy in a Natural Environment
With the advent of tele-intervention and the transition in early intevention from clinician directed therapy to natural settings, it is important for therapists working with children with hearing loss to maintain a focus on specific speech, language, audition, cognition, literacy and parent guidance goals that follow typical developmental patterns. This presentation will address the research behind therapy in the natural environment, barriers and successes of the approach, and use video of early intervention and tele-intervention sessions to analyze the development of spoken language in a natural environment. Group discussion will include how to address specific goals while using items found within the home and through daily acitivities.
- Learner will be able to discuss the pros and cons of using only items found within the natural environment based on the current literature and regulations for early intervention and tele-intervention.
- Learner will be able to analyze video of early interventionist and tele-interventionist using items within the natural environment to address specific language, speech, audition, cognition, literacy, and parent guidance goals.
- Learner will be able to develop a list of activities to use within the natural environment addressing specific language, speech, audition, cognition, literacy, and parent guidance goals.
