Nancy Kaufman's Psychodynamic Approach

Based on this diagnosis, a treatment plan has been established in order to assist J.A. with her speech. The focus of therapy would be to increase her intelligibility and focus primarily on limiting the frequency of phonological processes and increasing the functionally of her speech. The Cycles approach will be implemented to provide systematic correction of several phonemes simultaneously. This approach will also positively affect J.A. intelligibility more quickly given the multiple errors that she produces. The Cycles approach incorporates perceptual training through auditory bombardment, coloring activities and verbal production. This is will help the client with multiple stimulation of the targeted therapy, helping with perception and awareness. Below is a list of 3 long term goals to help J.A. with her speech production. Each long term goal has 3 short term goals associated in order to provide therapy techniques to increase the likelihood of obtaining these long term expectation. The goals are as follows:
Long Term Goal #1: The client will produce all final consonants with 80% accuracy
Baseline: 2/20 opportunities: 10% (as of 11/30/16)

Short term Goals: 1) The client will produce /p/ in the final position with 80% accuracy 2) The client will produce /t/ in the final position with 80% accuracy 3) The client will produce …show more content…
This book will provide opportunities to duplicate productions that are the focus of therapy. Through a structured, interactive, easy to follow book, J.A. will be able to receive additional practice in the areas of consonant vowel combinations and exercise to develop expressive, functional language. Coupled with the therapy goals presented, this home program will aim to solidify the activities done in therapy and provide J.A. with the much need repetitious practice that is need in order to progress towards functional and intelligible
