Treatments Flashcards
Linguistically-Based Interventions focus on strategies for _______.
Reorganizing a child’s phonological system
What are Linguistically-Based Interventions most suitable to target?(4)
Multiple speech sound errors
Homonyms
Establishment of new word/syllable shapes
Establishment of new sound classes
Can Linguistically-Based Interventions be combined with motor-based ones?
Yes
What is the primary focus of Linguistically-Based Interventions?(3)
Establishment of an adult phonological system
Establish sound and feature contrasts
Replace error patterns with appropriate ones
What are Exemplars?
Individual target sounds
How should we choose Exemplars?
Likelihood of generalization
What are Minimal Pair Contrasts?
Those that differ by a single phoneme
What is the assumption behind Minimal Pair Contrasts?
Focusing on single phonemic contrasts will teach that different sounds create different meanings (pat-bat)
What two things can be contrasted in Minimal Pair Contrasts?
Feature differences (pat-bat)
Syllable shape differences (bow-boat, key-ski)
What do Minimal Pair Contrasts assume of the child?
That the child is physically capable of producing the target sound
What errors are Minimal Pair Contrasts most useful for?(4)
Sound substitutions
Deleted sounds
Phoneme collapse
Phonological patterns
What is the general flow when using Minimal Pair Contrasts?(2)
Teaching contrast perception
Teaching contrast production
What is the specific flow when using Minimal Pair Contrasts?(7)
Select a sound contrast based on client’s error pattern
Teach minimal contrasts at the perception level (pick up picture of ______)
Teach articulation of target if needed (switch to motor-based approach if this is particularly difficult)
Teach client to imitate each target
Teach minimal contrasts at the production level (you tell me which card to pick)
Teach single minimal contrasts with a carrier phrase (I found “tea”)
Teach multiple minimal contrasts with a carrier phrases (I “found tea” and “she”)
What are the two kinds of minimal pairs?
Minimal Opposition Contrasts
Maximal Opposition Contrasts
What are Minimal Opposition Contrasts?
Differ by a single feature (place, manner, voicing)
What are Maximal Opposition Contrasts?
Differ by 2+ features (place, manner, voice, nasality)
What is the benefit of using Maximal Opposition Contrasts?(2)
The contrasts are more salient (easier to perceive)
May facilitate faster acquisition by client
What is Multiple Opposition Therapy?
Contrasting one sound with several sounds
What is Multiple Opposition Therapy most helpful for?(3)
Addressing phoneme collapses
Children with multiple sound errors
Severe to profound phonological impairments
What is the assumption behind using the Maximal Opposition Approach?
Kids who collapse multiple sounds into a single phoneme are better treated with a systematic focus instead of an individual sound focus(bat-back, bat-batch, bat-bass)
What is Metaphon Therapy?(2)
Teaches the characteristics of sounds
Facilitates development of sound contrasts
Who is Metaphon Therapy most useful for?
Children who do not respond well to minimal pair therapy
What does Metaphon Therapy teach?(3)
Phonological awareness
Skills needed to succeed in minimal pair therapy
Development of metaphonological skills
