*DISCONTINUED (*NEW EDITION in Alternatives below)

The second edition of the Word-Finding Intervention Program provides professionals with specific interventions to address a learner's Word-Finding skills. Like its predecessor, the WFIP-2 uses a three-pronged approach to Word-Finding intervention: retrieval strategy instruction, self-advocacy instruction, and Word-Finding accommodations. After assessment of a learner's Word-Finding skills, retrieval strategies are matched to a learner's Word-Finding error patterns, and learners are presented with activities that encourage generalization of these retrieval strategies at school, home, work, or play.
 
The WFIP-2 includes important changes and additions. The second edition is improved in its overall organization and user-friendly presentation. It also offers better retrieval strategy selections and Word-Finding accommodations. You'll get lesson plans, specialist's forms, and integration of technology recommendations throughout. Specific improvements include:
 
  • New research-supported mnemonic retrieval strategies
  • New assessment discussion of the differential diagnosis of Word-Finding error types
  • New organization according to error patterns typically observed in individuals with Word-Finding difficulties
  • Technology recommendations for retrieval strategy instruction, Word-Finding accommodations, oral presentations, and written language
  • Improved, user-friendly lesson plans and student study forms
  • New Word-Finding Self-Assessment Survey
  • New Classroom Observation Form to identify needed Word-Finding accommodations
  • New Recommended Word-Finding Accommodations Form to individualize Word-Finding accommodations
 
Over the last 12 years, the Word Finding Intervention Program has become very popular and has been used in numerous schools, centers, and hospitals by speech-language pathologists, special education personnel, and reading teachers. This program can help you assess and treat children with Word-Finding difficulties.
