Abstract

Introduction:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of peer-mediated instruction for requesting during a snack time routine for children with extensive support needs who were also beginning communicators.

Method:

Participants included three children aged 5 with extensive support needs who used a tablet-based augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) to communicate. Using a nonconcurrent multiple baseline design, participants were taught by peers without extensive support needs, to request for a preferred snack using modeling and a 3-second time delay until responding reached a mastery criterion of 80-100% across three consecutive sessions.

Results:

Results indicated that all three participants acquired the ability to request from a peer using AAC.

Conclusion:

Limitations and considerations for future research and practice are discussed.

Keywords:

Learning Disabilities

Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching III: Evaluation and Documentation

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning, patient...

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

Social Foundations of Self II: The Generalized Other

According to George Herbert Mead, as children progress beyond the game stage, they develop a more comprehensive understanding of societal rules and norms. This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group effort.
