NDP3 Flashcards
This program was developed by Pam Williams & Hillary Stephen
Nuffield Dyspraxia ProgrAM (NDP3)
In UK, dyspraxia therapy or apraxia therapy focuses on:
● Teach the child sounds they cannot make
● Teach the child to join sounds together in words, phrases, and sentences
● Improve overall tone, voice, intonation, rhythm
● Improve speech intelligibility
Strongest evidence exists for 4 treatment approaches (2018):
1) Dynamic Tactile and Temporal Cueing (DTTC): Strand et. al., 2006
2) Integrated Phonological Awareness Approach (IPA): McNeill et al., 2009
3) Nu eld Center Dyspraxia Program (NDP3): Williams & Stephens 2004
4) Rapid Syllable Transition Treatment (ReST): Ballard et al., 2010 (developed in Australia)
Nu eld Dyspraxia Program (NDP3) is a comprehensive, flexible assessment and treatment that provides:
○ An assessment procedure
○ A set of therapy procedures and techniques, to plan treatment for children with DVD/CAS
○ A large resource of pictures/materials to use in therapy
Principles of NDP3
● Based on motor learning skills approach
● Uses psycholinguistic principles (Stackhouse & Wells, 1997)
● Building accurate speech from the bottom up
● Multi-level, multi-target layered approach
The motor learning of the child is really considered as it starts with the very simple ones to the more complex
Working on speech (sounds and words) through a motor programming approach
NDP3: Motor Learning Skills Approach
● Working on speech (sounds and words) through a motor programming approach
● Small graded achievable steps
● Based on repetition and practice
● Utilizes cues and feedback
● Works from child’s strengths
T or F: Based on their research, patients should be given lots of practice to acquire the motor program for a particular speech sound. In this program, the patients are given approximately 100 opportunities to produce certain speech sounds or word targets over the 45-60 minute session.
True
Used to acquire skills by giving cues and feedback on technique
pre-practice phase
Used to develop generalization and retention by giving feedback on outcome (right/wrong) but not on performance and cues are reduced
Practice phase
T or F: In the Psycholinguistic approach, they assumed that there must be a story of information or a representation which serves as a basis for recognizing speech as well as generating speech output.
True
T or F: The representation would often include details of words, meaning which is the semantic representation, its sound structure, which is the phonological representation, and instructions for articulation which is the motor program.
True
are part of lexical representations, “Blueprint” of how to say a sound/word
Motor Programs
online process of creating change NB transitions/blending
tasks
Motor Programming
T or F: we start from bottom up so simple to complex words. If you have a faulty motor programming, what this program does is to erase all of those and start froom the bottom and it builds your speech skills from the simple ones to complex.
True
Role of Repetition/Drilling
● Child learns how to articulate new sound or word
● Accuracy is inconsistent/trial and error
● Repetition and sequencing allows child to develop consistent/stable production
● Contrastive sequencing allows child to maintain accurate production “under pressure”
● SLT can control this - distant -> closer contrasts
Contrastive sequencing-graded
ask the patient to produce this speech sound a lot of instances and then if that is stable enough, you’re going to teach the child that, okay we have to di erentiate this from the other speech sounds. You do that so that he would have a stable production and would learn how di erent this target is from the other sounds
It has to be maximally di erent.
Very distant contrast
