Long description

Modeling Plus Evoked Production Intervention is an interactive approach that uses focused models of targeted forms with intermittent opportunities for the patient to produce the form and receive feedback regarding the correctness of the production.

Method: Sessions must first have “quiet practice” where the patient listens to focused models of the target form and the child is not required to respond. Activities can include storytelling with manipulatable figures, art construction activities, food preparation, and puppet play. The puppet or doll performs the actions while the SLP describes the activity. Tasks are structured so that the patient’s productions are not imitations of the SLP’s productions but are independently formulated utterances that contain the target form (Weismer & Murray-Branch, 1989).
