Final Flashcards
What are the three major treatment approaches
Traditional
Phonological
Motor Learning
If you want immediate success you should focus on …
Inconsistant errors
Stimulable sounds
Less phonetically complex sounds
Early developing sounds
If you want more immediate generalized productions and marked intelligibility you should focus on..
Consistant errors
Less stimulable sounds
More phonetically complex sounds
Later developing sounds
What is the complexity approach
treating more complex sounds creates change in less complex sounds and contexts
Complexity Approach
Inventory Laws
Velars --> Alveolars and Palatals Affricates --> Fricatives Fricatives --> Stops Liquids --> Nasals Voiced obs --> Voiceless obs
Complexity Approach
Syllable Structure Laws
Clusters –> Singletons
Fricatives + liquid clusters –> Stops + liquid clusters
3 element clusters –> 2 element clusters
What words do you want to use in therapy?
High frequency
Real words
High/Low density for phono
Low density for artic
What is a SMART goal?
Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Time sensitive
Traditional Approach
AKA the ladder approach
- Treat each sound error individually
- Specific hierarchy
- Progress to more difficult task
“The Ladder”
- Auditory bombardment
- Auditory discrimination
- Teaching the phoneme in isolation
- Teaching the phoneme in syllabic context
- Teaching the phoneme in words
- Teaching the phoneme in phrase
- Teaching the phoneme in sentence
- Teach in natural context
The variations in each level are..
Imitation or spontaneous
What are the fix up strategies
- Imitation with verbal/visual cue
- Phonetic placement or metaphor
- Shaping or sound modification
- Moto-kinesthetic
What are fix up strategies for /s/
1-5
What are the similarities between phonological approach and traditional approach
both have an order hierarchy
both progress to more difficult levels
Differences between phonological approach and traditional approach
Traditional goal: changel the childs pronunciation of a sound in error
- treats an individual sound
Phonological goal: change childs underlying rule system for sound production
- treats groups of sounds with similar patterns of error
Phonological approach principles
- therapy begins at word level
- focuses on the phono system
- targets multiple sounds
Minimal Opposition contrast
use minimal pairs where the sound only differs by one or two PMV
When do you use minimal opposition
- for simple substitutions
- for stimulable sounds
- small number of errors
- not for distortions (like lateralized sounds)
Teaching minimal opposition
Phase 1: Discussion of words
Phase 2: Discrim testing and training
Phase 3: Production training
Phase 4: Carryover training
Minimal opposition
Phase 1
