Q

What is the assumption behind using the Maximal Opposition Approach?

A

Kids who collapse multiple sounds into a single phoneme are better treated with a systematic focus instead of an individual sound focus

(bat-back, bat-batch, bat-bass)

Q

A

No

25
Q

What characteristics does Metaphon Therapy focus on?

3

A

Sound duration (long-short)

Sound manner (noisy-whisper, stopping-flowing, etc.)

Sound place (front-back, etc.)

26
Q

Can direct instruction in phonological awareness be a goal in speech-language therapy?

Why?

A

Yes

These skills are needed for reading and spelling

27
Q

What is the 1st phase in Metaphon Therapy?

3

A

Teaching awareness of sound differences

Identifying features of sounds

Word pairs (of targeted speech sounds)

28
Q

What is the 2nd phase in Metaphon Therapy?

What is it similar to?

A

Transferring new metaphonological skills to communication

Production training of minimal contrasts

29
Q

Is the Minimal Contrast Theory backed up by research?

A

Yes but there is not enough evidence to say which Minimal Contrast approach is most effective

30
Q

What are strengths of the Minimal Contrast Theory?

2

A

Beneficial for children with multiple misarticulations and phonological patterns

Beneficial for addressing sound collapse

31
Q

What is the goal for the Cycles Approach?

A

Acquiring appropriate phonological patterns

Not eliminating incorrect ones

32
Q

How does the Cycles Approach work?

2

A

Moves through targets sequentially without requiring a certain production criteria to be met

Targets that are not achieved are targeted in the next cycle

33
Q

What are the three procedures in the cycles approach?

A

Auditory stimulation

Production practice

Picture/word naming tasks

34
Q

How long does the Cycles Approach normally last?

How long is each pattern targeted within a cycle?

A

5-16 weeks (3-6 full cycles)

~60 minutes

35
Q

When is the Cycles Approach completed?

A

When all needed phonological patterns appear in spontaneous speech

36
Q

Patterns targeted in the Cycles Approach appear in ___% of utterances or less.

A

40%

37
Q

What are the primary targets in the Cycles Approach?

5

A

Syllableness (omissions of syllable nuclei: vowels or syllabic consonants)

Omission of singletons

/s/ clusters in initial or final positions

Anterior/posterior contrasts (back-front sounds)

Liquids in all positions

38
Q

What are the secondary targets in the Cycles Approach?

3

A

Palatals

Other consonant sequences (clusters

Singleton stridents

39
Q

What patterns should we NOT target in preschoolers in the Cycles Approach?

(5)

A

Voiced final obstruents (b, d, g, v, z, ð, ʒ, ʤ)

Post-vocalic /l/

Word final /n/

Unstressed syllables

/θ, ð/

40
Q

What is the normal flow of the Cycles Approach?

8

A

Review previous week

Listening activity (read 20 words in ~30 sec.)

Do target word cards

Postproduction practice

Stimulability probing

Listening activity

Phonological awareness activity

Home practice

41
Q

What is the assumption behind the Cycles Approach?

2

A

A

Can be used or modified for…

  • Multiple phonological processes
  • Cleft palate
  • Developmental dyspraxia

44
Q

What are the two types of Broader Based Language Approaches?

A

Whole Language intervention

Naturalistic Intervention

45
Q

What do most intervention approaches assume?

Top-down approach

start with higher level language

47

A

Yes

48

A

Work on narratives based on pictures

Clinician expands on child’s utterances

49
Q

5

A

Phonology

Morphology

Syntax

Semantics

Pragmatics

(All simultaneously)

50
Q

2

A

Developing expressive language and intelligibility comes first

Phonology comes last

51
Q

What are the three steps in Whole Language intervention?

Provide different communicative opportunities

Provide consequences and feedback

52
Q

What are the TYPES of responses in Whole Language intervention?

(3)

A

Clarification (asking for more info)

Increasing complexity (relationships, cause-and-effect, etc.)

53
Q

What does Naturalistic Intervention target?

A

Overall speech intelligibility

54
Q

What does Naturalistic Intervention assume?

4

A

Primary issues in SSDs is intelligibility

Intelligibility is not only affected by production accuracy

Phonology is part of the overall language system

Phonology can be improved when focusing on higher levels of language

55
