Chapter 8 Flashcards
Intervention for speech sound disorders is
-very exciting
There is nothing in the world like
the feeling you get when a child first says a sound correctly!!
Using classroom language arts books for therapy
helps us help kids achieve Common Core State Standards
According to our text:
- Most tx approaches move from a simple to complex level of training (except the concurrent approach)
- Some approaches do contradict each other (e.g., start w/ stimulable vs. nonstimulable sounds)
The point is to remain flexible…
And do what is best for each individual client
Non-Speech Oral-Motor Exercises
- PBH do not believe that oral motor exercises are beneficial for anybody
- They say research has not proven that oral motor exercises help
What is Roseberry’s position on Non-Speech Oral-Motor Exercises?
Roseberry’s position: these exercises are very helpful for children with oral motor problems
Kent, R.D. (2015 November ). Nonspeech oral motor movements and disorders: A narrative review. American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology.
- He said that NSOMMs can be part of practice in orofacial myology
- Can be used with persons with dysarthria and dysphagia
- Don’t just reject NSOMMs wholesale
What is the TRADITIONAL APPROACH?
- (Van Riper)
- Around since 1920s
- Still popular and widely-used today
- However, most SLPs really don’t do ear training any more
Production Training: Sound Establishment
- Establish correct sound production in isolation
- Use phonetic placement techniques
- Successive approximation
Production Training: Sound Stabilization
Stage 6 Conversation ↑ Stage 5 Sentences ↑ Stage 4 Phrases ↑ Stage 3 Words ↑ Stage 2 Nonsense syllables ↑ Stage 1 Isolation
- Isolation
—use variety of fun activities
- Nonsense syllables
—I don’t really use these
- Words
—begin with words that are meaningful to the child. I work on sounds:
- word-initial
- word-final
- word-medial
- Clusters
(3. words) For example, with /s/:
Begin with soup, see, sun (word-initial)
Next: bus, face, piece (word-final)
Then: Classes, lesson (word-medial)
Last: Crust, stop, faster (clusters)
- Phrases
– in-between stage—carrier phrases common—e.g.:
I see ____
This is___
- Sentences
– various length and complexity
To establish sound in sentences:
- Corrective set
- Slow motion speech
What is Corrective Set?
SLP makes an error (e.g., fɪk/θɪk) and kids “catch” her)
What is Slow Motion Speech?
SLP and ch say sentence together very slowly
- Conversation
- Start with structured conv.—e.g., SLP gives a topic or specific pictures to talk about
- Transition to natural conv.—open ended. E.g., “Tell me what costume you wore for Halloween.’
Transfer and Carryover
- Vary the audience and settings
- Speech assignments
Maintenance
- Book: follow-up sessions
- Dr. R.: in schools, keep on IEP, but reduce to tx once a week
CONCURRENT APPROACH
- Said SLPs don’t have to use hierarchy we just described
- First establish sound in isolation and CV, VC combos—80% accuracy
- Then, mix it up in tx!
