Specific Treatment Programs and Approaches Flashcards
Using class room language arts books for therapy – help us help kids achieve…
common core standards
According to our text ch 8…
- most treatment approaches move from a simple to complex level of training (except the concurrent approach)
- Some approaches do contradict each other (e.g., start with stimulable vs. non stimulable sounds)
The point is to remain flexible
-and do what is best for each individual client
Non-speech oral motor exercises
- PBH do not believe that oral motor exercises are beneficial for anybody
- They say research has not proven that oral motor exercises help
- roseberrys position: these exercises are very helpful for children with oral motor problems
Kent R.D. (2015 November) Non-speech oral motor movements and disorders: a narrative review. American journal of speech language pathology
- He said that NSOMMs can be part of practice in orofacial myology
- can be used with persons with dysarthria and dysphagia (swallowing disorder)
- don’t reject NSOMMS wholesale
Traditional Approach
- around since 1920’s
- still popular and WIDELY-USED today
- however, most SLPs really don’t do ear training any more
Production Training: Sound Establishment
- establish correct sound production in ISOLATION
- use PHONETIC PLACEMENT techniques
- successive approximation
Production Training: Sound Stabilization
Stage 1: isolation Stage 2: nonsense syllables Stage 3: Words Stage 4: Phrases Stage 5: Sentences Stage 6: Conversation
Stage 1, 2,3
- Isolation: use variety of fun activities
- Nonsense syllables: I don’t really use these
- Words: begin with words that are meaningful to the child. I work on sounds:
- word-initial (Soup,See, Sun)
- word-final( buS, faCe, pieCe)
- word-medial (claSSes, Lesson)
- cluster (cruST,STop, faSTer)
Stage 4, 5
- Phrases : in-between stage -carrier phrases common –e.g., I see ____, This is ____.
- Sentences: various length and complexity
To establish sound sentences
- corrective set: SLP makes an error and kids “catch” her
- slow motion speech: SLP and ch say sentence together very slow
Stage 6
Conversation: -started with structured conv. –e.g., SLP gives a topic or specific pictures to talk about
-transition to natural conv. –open ended e.g., “Tell me what costume you wore for Halloween”
Transfer and Carryover
- vary the audience and settings
- speech assignments
Maintenance
- book: follow up sessions
- Dr. R: in schools, keep on IEP, but reduce to treatment once a week
Concurrent Approach
- said SLPs don’t have to use hierarchy we just described
- first establish sound in isolation and CV VC combos 80% accuracy
- then mix it up
CSHA Dr. Steve Skelton
-if we vary the response topography in each treatment session, ch will make increase gains than if we just go up the hierarchy like a ladder
For example in one session (dr.skelton)
- /r/ in final position of words
- /r/ in VC combos
- /r/ in sentences in word-initial position
- /r/ in word-medial position in phrases
Dr. skelton: Activities and ideas for eliciting at least 150 productions per group session
- kids take own data
- SUBVOCALIZE (say it with your voice turned off) while other students taking their turns
- tally counters –> challenge students –150+ productions
Dr.skelton acitivites cont.
- post charts –> individual/group competition
- create stations– students do something different every minute or so while practicing sounds
- e.g., one ch on white board, one putting puzzle together, one lying on floor, one using flashcards at table
- then you yell “switch”
- ask students to create cards with cerative ideas for more interesting drill
- they draw card, practice sound the way card says
activites cont.
e.g., “Say /r/ 10 times by itself while you are doing jumping jacks”
-“say at least 3 sentences with /s/ while you draw a picture on the white board”
“say ‘the’ while you are doing hopscotch”
-echo microphone
-puppets,costumes
-roll a dice or draw number from envelope to determine how many productions they have to make
other ideas for centers
- read books or stories with target sounds
- hula hoops
- jump rope
- create stories with flip books
- put stickers or stamps on a paper
- legos
- kick a ball
- blocks
- put bingo chip into a jar
- pick up sticks
- blow bubbles
Phonological Contrast Approaches
-these approaches have become popular and are supported by research
