Based on the premise that much learning takes place through modeling, Easy Does It for Fluency Preschool/Primary uses modeling as an inherent component of this program because children can learn easy speech the same way. Goals and objectives are set up in a hierarchy to enhance shaping and generalization of easy speech.
Easy Does It for Fluency Preschool/Primary presents five steps to work through for the child to reach his or her goal of fluent speech.
Experiencing Easy Speech – The child experiences fluency by using slightly exaggerated inflection patterns and producing easy speech.
Establishing Easy Speech - The child imitates the use of easy speech in stereotyped and carrier sentences, and progresses to using easy speech in novel sentences.
Desensitizing to Fluency Disrupters – The child maintains the use of easy speech while tolerating pressures which may disrupt fluency (people, noise, interruptions, new locations, contradictions, time pressures, emotional topics, and competition).
Transferring Fluency – The child begins using easy speech in real-life situations beginning with semi-structured tasks and progressing to spontaneous speaking tasks. The response type becomes more conversational and the length of responses increases.
Maintaining Fluency – Direct therapy contact reduces as the child maintains the use of easy speech for longer periods of time without therapy intervention.
This book is great for work in the tx room and to send home activities for parents to practice with kiddos! I love how I can quickly print the description of how to complete the activity in the user manual as well!
