Study Guide Flashcards
What is the ultimate goal for speech and language treatment?
improve communication skills
What is the individualized goal for speech and language treatment based on?
evaluation of specific communication patterns and needs
With inclusive treatment, who does this include?
- family
- teacher
- community members
What does comprehensive treatment meet?
all communication needs at all stages of development
During comprehensive treatment, What do we focus on during the Early Years?
- foundational skills
- development
- working on developing early sounds, building vocabulary, language, communication, social pragmatic skills–these all lead to communication!
During comprehensive treatment what must we do during the school years?
-must relate to the educational setting
What must we focus on beyond the school years during comprehensive treatment?
- functional communication systems
- facilitate relatioinships
By age 16 what does the law mandate?
-law mandates the child has to understand the goals. They are often invited to IEP meetings
What is Behavior modification?
-provide stimulus, response, then there is a consequence
What is Evidence-based practice (EBP)?
-IDEA mandates that the therapy we provide must be evidence-based practice. Meaning it should be well-researched and show long term positive approach
What is child-directed therapy?
- child led therapy, but the clinician gives the client options to choose from.
- the premise is that your maintaining the child’s motivational level
What is clinician directed therapy?
the clinician is directing and telling the client what they will be doing
What kind of therapy do most clinicians use?
-most clinicians include multiple method of therapy, they do not focus on just one
What is a baseline?
that student’s current level of functioning prior to any treatment being rendered
What is target behavior?
- the skill or the action we are trying to teach.
- It is established from the assessment that we had conducted
What is a probe?
-instrumental testing/informal testing that measures the client’s progress over time
What is reinforcement?
any stimuli provided to the child during their correct production of the sound
give some examples of positive reinforcement.
“good job”
smile
stickers
What is negative reinforcement?
- refraining from producing stimuli until the clinician provides the corrective feedback
- don’t say “bad job”
What are long term goals?
projected a year from assessment process
what are short-term goals?
small goals (benchmarks) that work toward supporting the overall long term goal
When is a probe performed?
Whenever the therapist chooses to do it. Once a week, once a month, every therapy session, once every three months, etc…
What is tactile cueing? and give some examples.
- this is a prompt that is used to facilitate the correct production of the sound
- tapping on the shoulder
- tap the chin as a reminder to close the mouth
What does kinesthetic cueing mean?
-helping by facilitating the coordinated movements for a sound
What is proprioception cueing system?
“6th sense”
an individual who has problems with proprioception are unable to identify where their body is in space
Listen to recording!
What are verbal cues? give an example
.
What are visual cues? give an example
.
What are the 4 different therapy approaches?
- traditional approach
- sensory motor approach
- multiple phoneme approach
- pattern-based approach
What is the premise for the traditional approach?
comprehensive and sequential approach
What are the 5 phases of the traditional approach?
- ear training–>perceptual
- production training–>establishment
- production training–>stabilization
- generalization–>transfer and carryover
- maintenance–>continuous across time
What is the focus of the traditional approach?
teach individual sound production in progression (phonetic features)
(Ex: isolation-nonsense syllables-words-phrases-sentences-conversation)
What are the Pros of the traditional approach?
-comprehensive and proven to address essential elements in articulation therapy
Generalize skill: conversation outside of therapy across settings and with others
What are the cons of the traditional approach?
all steps are unnecessary
Who does the Sensory-motor approach work best with?
works best with speech motor disorder clients–apraxia
what is the premise of the sensory-motor approach?
-build auditory, tactile, and proprioceptive awareness of speech motor movements
What are the 3 phases of the sensory-motor approach?
- heighten awareness to different patterns of speech motor movements
- reinforce correct production of target sound
- systematically facilitate correct production of target sound using varied CV syllable combinations
What is the focus of the sensory-motor approach?
identifying phonetic context where target sound is produced correctly and then vary phonetic context
What are the pros of the sensory-motor approach?
establishes good “starting point” for therapy
What are the cons of the sensory-motor approach?
not proven by research that facilitative contexts is more effective than any other approach
What is the premise of the multiple phoneme approach?
-appropriate for students with many sound errors
What are the three phases of the multiple phoneme approach?
- establishment: achieve accurate and consistent sound production of all English consonants using multi-modal cues (visual-grapheme-auditory-sound-tactile-touch)
- Transfer: use all target sounds correctly in conversation
- maintenance: goal of 90% accuracy in conversation
**must have establishment before transfer and transfer before maintenance
What is the focus of the multiple phoneme approach?
mass productions and allows for sequential teaching and accurate measurement of progress (e.g., pre and post testing)
What are the pros of the multiple phoneme approach?
-well-structured and provides good framework for measurement of progress
What are the cons of the multiple phoneme approach?
-limited research
What is the premise of a pattern-based approach?
production training target sounds with shared (distinctive) features or patterns
What are the 2 phases of the pattern-based approach?
- nonsense syllables in the initial position
- nonsense syllables in the final position
What is the focus of the pattern-based approach?
-use phonological contrast as basis for correcting sound class errors
What are the pros of the pattern-based approach?
-useful for children with multiple sound errors with no distortions
What are the cons of the pattern-based approach?
-limited empirical support on effectiveness on generalizing target to untrained sounds
What are shared common teaching strategies among different treatment approaches?
-modeling
systematic positive reinforcement of correct productions
- providing corrective feedback of incorrect productions-to facilitate the correct production of that sound
- repeated practice of target behavior–varying phonetic and linguistic context
- extend skills to conversation skills in natural settings
- teach self-monitoring skills (this is a form of generalization)
Do practice sheets for phonological processes
.
What is Metathesis? GIVE AN EXAMPLE
Child alters the sound sequence in a word
ex: pasghetti vs. spaghetti
what is dimunitization?
adds a vowel @ the end of a word?
ex: ball becomes bally
What two phonological processes are especially common with children with developmental apraxia?
metathesis & dimunitization
