Intervention Flashcards
Goal attack strategies
Vertical
Horizontal
Cyclic
Guide to selecting targets
Relevance to child and family (letters in name)
Stimulability
Degree of deviance
Impact on intelligibility
Vertical goal attack strategy
Intense practice on one or two targets until child reaches certain level
Horizontal goal attack strategies
Less intense practice on fewer targets
Cyclic goal attack strategy
Incorporating elements of horizontal and vertical structures
Predetermined time before moving on but practice w given targets
Contextual utilization approach
Look for contexts where the child can produce the target
Starts with “key” words
Contrast therapy
Production using contrasting word pairs
Sound congrats necessary to differentiate one word from another
Minimal opposition contrast (minimal pairs)
Uses words that differ by only one phoneme or single feature
Door vs sore
Pot vs spot
Key vs tea
Maximal oppositions contrast
Pairs of words where one speech sound known, and other is not produced by child
Manner vs place
M vs Sn
Treatment of the empty set
Pairs of words containing two maximally opposing sounds rhat are unknown o the child
L vs S
Obstruent vs sonorant
Multiple oppositions
Pairs of words contrasting a child’s error sound with three or four selected sound
Cycles approach
Highly unintelligible children w extensive omissions
Goal is to increase intelligibility within a short period of time (5-16 weeks)
After each cycle, new phonological pattern introduced
Distinctive feature therapy
Focuses on elements of phonemes that are lacking in a child’s repertoire
Used primarily for substitution
Metaphon therapy
Designed to teach metaphonological awareness - phonological structure of language
With children who fail to acquire phonological system
Nonspeech oral motor therapy
Use of oral motor training prior to teaching sounds
Teach control of articulates before correct sound production
