What is Articulation?
The motor production of sound
If a client has difficulty producing sounds correctly, then they have a ___________.
Articulation disorder
If a client is having difficulty acquiring a phonological system then they client has a ________.
Phonological disorder
What is the primary focus on Articulation Therapy?
Motor practice
What is the primary focus in Phonology Therapy?
Teaching feature contrasts
What are Descriptions & Demonstrations? What can this accomplish?
Describing and demonstrating the production of the sound
This can heighten the clients awareness of selected characteristics of speech
What are Metaphors?
Comparing an aspect of speech to something (that is not speech related)
What are Touch/Tactile Cues?
Movements made by the clinician or client that draw the clients attention to how a characteristic of sound is produced
What is Imitation?
The client repeats the clinician
What is Phonetic Placement?
Teaching the lingual and labial placement for sound
Teaching where to put the tongue and lips to produce a sound
What is Shaping?
Using a sound the client already knows to produce a new sound
What are three aspects to remediation of phonological disorders?
Phonological processes
Distinctive features
Paired oppositions (minimal or maximal)
Phonological processes are strategies used by young, typically developing children to _________.
Simplify the production of adult speech sounds
When do phonological processes typically disappear?
4 1/2 years
What two things are common in children with phonological disorders?
The use of phonological processes longer when compared to peers of the same age
The use of non-developmental processes
What is Unstressed Syllable Deletion?
Deleting unstressed syllables
What is Final Consonant Deletion?
Deleting the final consonant
What is Reduplication?
Repeating a simplified syllable
/wawa/ for “water”
What is Consonant Harmony/Assimilation?
Reduplicating a consonant instead of producing two unique consonants
/dʌd/ for “duck”
What is Cluster Reduction?
Simplifying consonant clusters
/tʌk/ for “truck”
What is Metathesis?
Switching sounds around within a word
/æmɪnəl/ for “animal”
What is Epenthesis?
Separating consonant clusters with /ə/
/bəlæk/ for “black”
What is Velar Fronting?
Substituting a velar stop for an alveolar stop

What is Gliding?
Substituting a glide for a liquid

What is Devoicing?
Substituting an unvoiced consonant for one that is voiced
/sæt/ for “sad”
What is Prevocalic Voicing?
Voicing consonants that come before vowels
/gaʊ/ for “cow”
What phonological processes should be suppressed (dropped) by age 3?
(3)
Final consonant deletion
Assimilation
Syllable deletion
What phonological processes should be dropped after 3?
6
Fronting
Stopping
Gliding
