Generalizable child skills are identified to maximize growth across all developmental and behavioral domains that are compatible with each routine. Trainees learn to integrate skills across domains and disciplines into common routines, learn to identify which routine is most appropriate for which skills, and learn to integrate strategies across disciplines rather than specific methods for each therapy. Emphasis is on family schedules and routines as they already exist. Trainees learn to identify and build on what the family is already doing without imposing a prescribed set of activities or regimen to practice, learn to increase opportunities for practice across routines and not just within a single routine, and learn to provide opportunities for learning without interfering with the routine. Team members work with the family to include the child in the family unit.
Trainees learn to communicate with each other and the family about interventions within activities.
Increased use of activity matrix as a communication tool across team members. If you would like a copy of the materials e-mailed to you, please contact Katrina Cripe to request a copy. The materials are being provided in Adobe Acrobat format.
