Short description

Conversational-Recasting Language Intervention technique is used in a clinician structured setting where following a patient’s production that omits the target, the SLP gives a “growth recast” that includes the target incorporated in a reply and recasts basic semantic information from the patient’s utterance (Camarata, et al 1994).

Long description

Conversational-Recasting Language Intervention technique is used in a clinician structured setting where following a patient’s production that omits the target, the SLP gives a “growth recast” that includes the target incorporated in a reply and recasts basic semantic information from the patient’s utterance.

Example: Target: present progressive (verb+ing). Session is set up and child says “Car going” SLP growth recast: “yes, the car is going”. Child says “cars going” SLP would say “Yes, the cars are going” (Camarata, et al 1994).
