Paed Speech Ax Flashcards
Early sounds
p, h, n, y, b, m, d, w
Middle sounds
f, k, ng, v, g, j, t, ch
What is assimilation?
sound changing to be like another sound e.g. bus to bub
What is prevocalic voicing?
syllable initial phoneme voiceless to voiced pea -> bee
What is postvocalic voicing?
syllable final phoneme voiced to voiceless e.g. bib to bip
What is stopping?
Fricatives/affricates to stops e.g. fish -> tish, soap -> dope, very -> berry, them -> dem
What is deaffrication?
affricate (ch, zh) or -> fricative (e.g. sh) or stop (e.g. d)
What is Weak syllable deletion
potato -> tato
Cluster reduction
star -> tar
Backing
alveolar /d/, /t/ -> velar /k/, /g/ e.g. dog -> gog
Gliding
r or l -> w
5 SSDs
phonological impairment, articulation impairment, inconsistent speech disorder, CAS and dysarthria
2 phonological SSDs
phonological impairment, inconsistent speech disorder
3 motor speech SSDs
CAS, dysarthria, articulation impairment
Characteristics of phonological impairment
consistent errors
errors beyond sibilant and rhotic errors
Characteristics of inconsistent speech disorder
inconsistent errors in consonants
no wowel errors
imitation better than spontaneous
Characteristics of Articulation impairment
1-2 speech errors only in sibilants and rhotics (lisps)
Characteristics of CAS
inconsistent errors in consonants and vowels
groping movements
inappropriate prosody
spontaneous better than imitated
Characteristics of dysarthria in chn
shorter phonation rate on MPT
slow repetition rates
breathiness
Characteristics of speech sound difference
errors acceptable in child’s own community
Phonological process that should be eliminated by 2
Reduplication (Grunwell 1987)
Phonological processes that should be eliminated by 2;6
fronting, assimilation and context sensitive voicing (pea->bee, or lid->lit) (Grunwell 1987)
Phonological process that should be eliminated by 3
FCD (Grunwell 1987)
Phonological processes that should be eliminated by 3;6
weak syllable deletion, cluster reduction, (Grunwell 1987) cluster simplification (Watson & Sukanec 1997) and backing (acc to Michelle Brown)
Phonological processes that should be eliminated by 5
stopping, gliding (Grunwell 1987)
Phonological process that should be eliminated by 7
fricative simplification (Thumb -> fum) (Grunwell 1987)

6 target selection approaches
traditional developmental (most knowledge) complexity (least knowledge) cyclical systemic nonlinear neural network
traditional developmental approach suitable for..
any child with SSD
reactive temperament/fear of failure/need early success
traditional developmental targets
phonological process that affect
- early developing sounds
- more stimulable sounds
traditional developmental approach based on assumption that..
acq of earlier sounds and syllable/word shapes are prereqs for later developing sounds
EBP for traditional approach
- better progress than complexity approach (Rvachew and Nowak (2001)
- parents greater satisfaction with this approach (M&B 2017)
Rx aligned with Traditional developmental approach
minimal pairs, metaphon, alternating morphosyntax, speech perception
Complexity approach is based on research showing that…
targeting not stimulable sounds and complex phonetic distinctions is associated with more widespread change than stimulable less complex sounds (M&B 2017)
Complexity approach aligned rx approaches
maximal oppositions, treatment of the empty set
complexity targets are
non-stimulable
phonetically more complex
later developing
complexity approach is suitable for
confident risk takers (M&B 2017)
chn with small phonetic inventories (Gierut 1992)
Cyclical approach
targets patterns of speech errors, divided into primary, secondary and advanced, for a set amount of time and cycles through them
Systemic approach
targets the phonological function of a group of sounds (collapse of contrasts)
rx approach aligned with systemic approach
multiple oppositions
clients suitable for multiple oppositions rx / systemic approach
mod-severe phonological impairment
large collapse of contrasts
ICF-CY guided target selection: BS and F
targets selected based on traditional and complexity approaches
ICF-CY guided target selection: Environmental factors
family preferences, service policies
ICF-CY guided target selection: Personal factors
motivation child's name, family members names salient word to family temperament and response to failure language skills
Rx for late talkers and chn at risk of SSD
- Provide a child with access to augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).
- Minimize pressure on the child to speak.
- Imitate the child, and in doing so model the skill of imitation to the child.
- Use a slower tempo and exaggerated intonation when talking with the child.
- Augment auditory, visual, tactile, and proprioceptive feedback to enhance the child’s sensory experience when attempting to speak.
- Avoid emphasis on non-speech-like movements of the articulators and focus on function.
Goals for late talking showing signs of SSD:
• Expand consonant inventory
• Expand syllable shape inventory
• Increase vocab size and inc words from a variety of grammatical classes
• Encourage the development of 2 word utterances
• Encourage caregiver responsiveness
(Adapted from Stoel-Gammon, 2011 and Bauman-Waengler, 2014)
EBP strategies for late talkers and infants at risk of SSD:
(Adapted from Stoel-Gamon 2011, see M&B 2017:471)
• Encourage first words containing sound in infant repertoire already
• Facilitate babbling in infants at risk (e.g. Down Syndrome) in terms of quantity and quality (canonical sequences)
• Encourage caregivers to be responsive to, imitate and expand babbling
• Analyse phonological characteristics of current lexicon to determine whether individualised selection avoidance strategies being used, and encourage acquisition of new words containing the phonological characteristics of known words
• Select words characterisied by CVCV, CV and CVC syllable shapes, words beginning with stops, and disyllabic words with stressed onsets
Goals for infants at risk of SSD due to delayed onset of canonical babbling:
(adapted from Stoel-Gammon, 2011)
• Increase amount of vocalisation
• Increase quality of babbling (-> canonical with varied vowel and consonants in CV syllable strings)
• Develop ability to imitate, starting with non-speech e.g. raspberries
• Encourage care-giver responsiveness
Multiple oppositions short term goal
X will contrast /a/ with each of the following singleton consonants and consonant clusters /b,c,d/ during 20mins of conversational speech with the clinician in the clinic with 50% accuracy by the end of the 8 week block of therapy
3 goal attack schedules
block (one domain for a period of time)
alternating (ssd one week other ROPA the next)
simultaneous (2+ domains in each session)
best goal attack schedule for concomitant language and speech impairments ?
alternating (SSD on week and other ROPA the next)
3 goal attack strategies
vertical: one or 2 targets at a time til criterion met
horizontal: several speech sounds in within a session e.g multiple oppositions
cyclical: 1 speech target for set amount of time
Horizontal goal attack is good for:
phonological impairment to help chn discover relationships between targets in system
motor speech difficulties to enhance motor learning
Vertical goal attack is good for
articulation and phon impairment
Behavioural goals include
- Performance – what the learner is expected to do or perform in order to show mastery of an objective
- Condition – condition under which the performance is to be done / occur (home with parents/playground with peers)
- Criterion – how well the learner is expected to perform (7/10 trials, %)
% accuracy starting point for production goal
50%
% accuracy starting point for auditory discrimination goal
80-90%
% accuracy starting point for multiple oppositions
30%
order of difficulty for word positions
word initial, final, medial
Goal for auditory discrimination in SSD
X will use auditory discrimination to discriminate between the minimal pairs /k/ and /t/, using the words, ‘key’ and ‘tea’, for fronting, with 90% accuracy, with the clinician, in the clinic
Phonological impairment goals include
- the phonological process you aim to suppress (e.g., fronting)
- the intervention approach you aim to use (e.g., minimal pairs)
- NOT word position
Phonological impairment goal example
Zack will produce /n/ using minimal pairs with 50% accuracy with the clinician in the clinic during the therapy session.
