Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this case study was to explore the communication needs of a child with deafness and cerebral palsy (DCP) and how these needs can be supported by interventions targeting the use of communication approaches and strategies. One semi-structured interview with the child’s parents and five observations of the child in different contexts before and after the interventions took place. A rating scale “Checklist of Identified Needs”, deriving from the observation data, the “Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Development Matters” assessment and a British Sign Language (BSL) receptive and expressive skills assessment were used to explore the child’s communication strategies before and after the intervention. The child completed two parallel school-based interventions lasting seven weeks, (i) one delivered daily which focused on BSL usage and Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC) and (ii) one targeting communication strategies such as initiating and maintaining eye contact using a weekly “social story” and play-based sessions. Our results indicated that the combined use of sign and AAC technology to target key areas of communication use and a targeted approach using social stories to support communication strategies can be effective in enhancing communication skills of children with DCP. Implications for practice are discussed.
脑瘫聋儿的沟通需求及如何支持:个案研究
摘要本研究旨在探讨一名耳聋脑瘫儿童的沟通需求,以及如何通过针对沟通方法和策略的干预来支持这些需求。对孩子的父母进行一次半结构化的访谈,并在干预前后对不同背景下的孩子进行五次观察。采用基于观察数据的“确定需求清单”量表、“早期基础阶段(EYFS)发展事项”评估和英国手语(BSL)接受和表达能力评估来探讨干预前后儿童的沟通策略。该儿童完成了两个平行的为期七周的以学校为基础的干预,(i)一个每天提供,重点是BSL的使用和补充性替代沟通(AAC), (ii)一个针对沟通策略,如通过每周一次的“社会故事”和以游戏为基础的会议发起和保持目光接触。我们的研究结果表明,结合使用手语和AAC技术来针对沟通使用的关键领域,并有针对性地使用社会故事来支持沟通策略,可以有效地提高DCP儿童的沟通技能。讨论了对实践的启示。
