Paediatrics

Question 1

What is ‘most knowledge’ approach?

Answer 1

For children with lower confidence. target sound in initial position (earlier development)

Question 2

What is the ‘least knowledge’ approach

Answer 2

good for confident (risk taker) kids. Also known as complexity approach. Task is ‘trickier’ target sound could be in final, medial position or in consonant cluster.

Question 3

Name 5 phonological impairment therapy intervention approaches (contrastive/non-contrastive)

Answer 3

• Minimal pairs
• multiple oppositions
• maximal oppositions
• treatment of empty set
• metaphonological
• core vocab
• cycles approach (non-contrastive)

Question 4

Treatment of empty set

Answer 4

targets 2 sounds that child can’t produce. eg /s/, /m/- sheet-meet

Question 5

core vocab

Answer 5

only used for inconsistent errors (only 10% of kids), CAS

teaches how to plan the phonemes in words. eg book -b-oo-k, practice sound multiple times, then combine sounds.

Question 6

Is lateral lisp a phonological impairment?

Answer 6

No, articulation impairment

Question 7

What is the difference between CAS and SSP?

Answer 7

CAS= groping movements, Vowel errors, small phonetic inventory

Question 8

What does relational analysis do

Answer 8

compares childs form with adult form (eg %of consonants correct)

Question 9

What is CHIRPA used for?

Answer 9

tool to assess children with multiple phon. errors

Question 10

Name the 5 SSD’s

Answer 10

phonological impairment, inconsistent phonological impairment, articulation impairment, childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), childhood dysarthria

Question 11

What is the ICS, intelligibility context scale used for?

Answer 11

Measures environmental factors.

Question 12

example of SMART goal

Answer 12

Ben will decrease final consonant deletion of /t/ sound to 10% usage with clinician in therapy session using minimal pairs approach.

Question 13

Metaphonological approach

Answer 13

builds awareness of structure of words, identifying sonds in words, swapping them to create new words, tap- t, swap t to s.

Question 14

multiple oppositions

Answer 14

similar to minimal pairs
used for children with moderate to severe impairment, phoneme collapse.
working on several target sound/error sounds at the same time: k, p, h, tr
tie- Kai, pie, hi, try

Question 15

minimal pairs

Answer 15

for mild to moderate impairment, 1 target sound.

point out to child that semantic information/meaning changes in words if we change the sounds: tap-sap

Question 16

3 stages of intervention

Answer 16

establishment
generalisation
maintenance

Question 17

cycles approach

Answer 17

moderate to severe impairment, used for highly unintelligible speech
non-contrastive approach

Question 18

5 types of data SLP collect

Answer 18

Ax data, baseline, data, generalisation probe data, control data, treatment data.
