42
Q

What are Context Utilization Approaches?

2

Sensory-motor-based approach

Stimulability tasks followed by practice using nonsense syllables -> word/word-pair practice -> rehearsal sentences ->narratives

43
Q

What is the assumption behind Context Utilization Approaches?

A

Errors can be corrected by extensive motor practice is sound is in client’s repertoire

44
Q

What is unique about Context Utilization Approaches?

A

They emphasize imitated repetition of productions

45
Q

What are the strengths of Context Utilization Approaches?

3

A

Build on behaviors in the client’s repertoire

Capitalizes on syllables + auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic awareness or motor movements

Useful for clients who produce target inconsistently

46
Q

What are the weaknesses of Context Utilization Approaches?

A

Difficult to motivate children to do this much imitation and drill

47

Tactile feedback

Visual feedback

49

Palatography (creating images of how tongue contacts palate during speech)

Electroplatography (EPG, artificial palate with pressure sensors is inserted and connected to computer)

Spectrograms

51
Q

What are the assumptions behind Alternate Feedback Approaches?

A

Typical internal and external feedback does not help children with SSDs. They need something more.

52
Q

What are the strengths of Alternate Feedback Approaches?

A

Presence of novel feedback may help with long-established incorrect pronunciations

53
Q

What are the weaknesses of Alternate Feedback Approaches?

3

A

Cost

Most clinicians have limited experience with the technology

Most require something unnatural in oral cavity and may make speech unnatural (may impede generalization)

54
Q

Are Alternate Feedback Approaches supported by research? (3)

Spectrograms?

EPGs?

A

Tactile approaches supported by anecdotal evidence only

Most studies support positive outcomes with visual approaches

More research needed

Spectrogram studies limited

EPG most studied - some positive evidence

55
Q

What is the Core Vocabulary Approach?

5

A

Child learns 50 functionally-powerful words

Each week 10 of these words are randomly chosen and targeted

At end of twice-per-week sessions, child produces each word three times

Words produced consistently are removed from list

Untreated words are probed 3x every two weeks

56
Q

Who does the Core Vocabulary Approach target?

A

Children with severe and inconsistent speech sound productions

57
Q

What are Functionally-Powerful Words?

4

A

Names

Places

Foods

Child’s favorite things

58
Q

What is the assumption behind the Core Vocabulary Approach?

A

If child’s productions are more consistent, they will be better understood

59
Q

What are the strengths of the Core Vocabulary Approach?

A

Intelligibility is the overriding goal of all therapies

60
Q

What are the weaknesses of the Core Vocabulary Approach?

2

A

Only applicable to those with inconsistent speech

No detail provided on how to achieve consistency

61
Q

Is the Core Vocabulary Approach supported by research?

A

Few studies - seem positive

62
Q

A

Training as a precursor for teaching speech sounds

63
Q

What are three examples of Nonspeech Oral-Motor Activities?

A

Horn/whistle blowing

Sucking through straws

Tongue wagging

64
Q

Why are Nonspeech Oral-Motor Activities controversial?

2

A

They were only supported philosophically originally

Research does not support their use

65
Q

What sort of speech production is seen in children with CAS?

5

A
