Q

How is AOS treated

A

behavioral treatment

  5. repeated trials on same target response necessary to start
  6. cueing includes tactile cues for artic placement, simultaneous production, modeling, delayed imitation
  7. contrastive stress, phonetic cotrasts, carrier phrases, and singing may be useful
  8. push on abdomen to get vocal fold closure
  9. metronome or pacing board may be useful
  10. emphasize total communication
  11. teach self monitoring
