Intervention for prelinguistic kids focuses on…
training parents so they can encourage/reinforce correct behaviors and early focus is on achieving ANY sounds that have oral airflow.
-encourage through modeling
Therapy for kids after 3 y/o (linguistic age group) involves traditional articulation techniques with an emphasis on the following:
• teaching the identity, location and action of oral structures
• teaching how sounds are made using multiple modalities of learning, eg visual (place map), auditory, and tactile differences between oral and nasal airflow
• phonetic placement techniques
• sound contrasts
- teach oral vs. nasal airflow distinction, as necessary, after initial palatal surgery (not all kids will need this)
Obligatory errors would not be expected to respond to behavioral treatments, unless…
the problem is subtle/mild
-better treated surgically
t/f Obligatory errors respond best to speech therapy.
False, Obligatory errors DO NOT respond to speech therapy.
