Volume 1: This resource consists of scripted protocols for teaching basic language skills for children with language disorders. The protocols give scripted scenarios for teaching most of the bound morphemes of English that children with language disorder typically lack. These include: basic words; regular and irregular plurals; possessive; present progressive; prepositions; pronouns; auxiliaries and copula; regular and irregular past tense; articles; conjunctions; adverbs; regular third person singular. For each target skill, 20 exemplars are available for the clinician to baserate, treat, and probe for generalized production. Most children can be advanced to relatively complex social communication skill level training only when they have mastered the basic morphologic features. Because the clinicians roughly sequence in this manner, the basic morphologic skills and more advanced social communication skills are described in two separate volumes, the companion volume being entitled Treatment Protocols for Language Disorders in Children: Social Communication. These titles are also available as a combined-price two-volume set, detailed below. All target skill exemplars, detailed scripts, and recording sheets are provided on both the printed text and an accompanying CD. The forms on this CD are customizable and allow clinicians to modify forms to suit the client. Volume 2: Contained here are protocols for teaching social communication skills to children who have mastered the basic morphologic skills These relatively advanced social communication skills include the following: adjectives; comparatives and superlatives; adverbs; production of various kinds of requests; production of commands; comprehension of commands; production and comprehension of a variety of questions including what, why, when, where, who, how, which, yes, and no; production of negative sentences (negation) including is not/are not, I am not/I do not, I was not/I did not, constructions; passive sentences without and with the agent; topic Initiation; topic maintenance; turn taking; eye contact; conversational repair: requests for clarification; conversational repair: responding to requests for clarification. The protocols to teach social communication includes scripted scenarios that the clinician and the child can follow. Just by enacting the roles assigned to the clinician and the child, effective treatment may be accomplished. All target skill exemplars, detailed scripts, and recording sheets are provided on both the printed text and an accompanying CD. The forms on this CD are customizable and allow clinicians to modify forms to suit the client.
