Week 4

Question 1

Cycles Approach Unique Features

Answer 1

For highly intelligible children with multiple phonological patterns.
Pattern acquisition rather than elimination.
Stimulate emergence of sounds or pattern, not mastery of it.

Question 2

Metaphone Therapy

Answer 2

Teach awareness of phonological structure of language.
Assumption is that we will give the child information, and encourage them to make their own sounds changes.
Phase 1: Concept level
Phase 2: develop phono and communicative awareness
Phase 3: Minimal Pair sentences are introduced.

Question 3

Blend in Phonological Awareness Activities

Answer 3

Kids beginning to develop phono awareness.
Contributes to reading development.
Rhyming and Alliteration are the first 2 PA skills.
All auditory, they play with the sounds and manipulate them.

Question 4

SSD and RD

Answer 4

Preschoolers with SSD are increased risk for RD (reading disability)
RD associated with impairments in phonological processing.
Not every child with a SSD will develop a RD.

Question 5

Naturalistic Speech Intervention

Answer 5

Kids with severe SSD and Language Disorders.
Goal is to increase functional communication rather than intelligibility.
Speech Recast: adult utterance immediately follows a child utterance with correct production.

Question 6

Phonological Disorders with Co-morbid Language Disorders

Answer 6

Intervention: target both phonology and additional language issues. Need direct intervention.
Need to figure out if child has knowledge of morphological phonemes.
Connect phonology to morphosyntax and semantics

Question 7

Functional Words

Answer 7

high frequency words a child uses on a daily basis

Question 8

Function words

Answer 8

smaller grammatical words
ie. auxillaries

Question 9

Language Based Intervention and Morphosyntax Intervention

Answer 9

Address coexistence of language and speech deficits.
Big focus on final position

Question 10

Child with Emerging Phonological System

Answer 10

Use babbling game activities first to introduce the sounds and increase consonant inventory.
Any word approximation should be rewarded.
Not about accuracy, more about intelligibility.
