|
What are the three approaches to articulation therapy?
|
1 - Traditional
2 - Behavioral 3 - Linguistic-Based |
|
The traditional approach to articulation therapy focuses on what?
|
The correct production of one or two phonemes at a time until correct production is achieved.
|
|
List the 8 techniques of traditional approach
|
Phonetic Placement
Moto-Kinesthetic Stimulus Group Integral Stimulation Servotheory Sensory-Motor Discrimination |
|
What is the phonetic placement technique focus on? What activities are used?
|
Positioning of articulators and correct use of breath stream during the production of phonemes. Drill activities to stabilize production of sound
|
|
What technique within the traditional approach is useful for the hard of hearing/deaf population and why?
|
The phonetic placement
Moving the articulators helps show them how to make sounds. |
|
Explain the moto-kinesthetic approach.
|
A 1:1 approach in which each sound is taught as a part of a specified stimulus syllable, word, phrase, or sentence. Client is usually laying down and simultaneously receives tactile,
kinesthetic, auditory and visual feedback. |
|
What approach/technique is used today with clients with neurogenic impairments such as CP?
|
Moto-kinesthetic approach
|
|
Define the group method traditional approach.
|
A technique in which the focus is on the client as a whole person with many behaviors, with which speech is only one. Typically meeting as a group, breaking up to work individually and then coming back together as a group.
|
|
How is the integral stimulation technique different than other traditional approaches?
|
You begin with production rather than auditory discrimination. Stress is put on the successful production of the first carefully chosen target sounds chosen for stimulability and frequency in speech.
|
|
Define the Servotheory approach.
|
A two stage approach that stresses need for client to discriminate the error sound and the correct target and then correctly produce the sound in different words until correct production is consistent.
|
|
Define the sensory-motor approach.
|
Systematic program that utilized
coarticulatory effects in context of both assessment and treatment.Start with syllable. Use phonemes that differ in manner/placing etc. |
|
Define the discrimination approach.
|
Using common items, the clinician rewards the client for correct articulation with the item.
|
|
According to the discrimination approach, when child can discriminate between ___ and ___, production begins.
|
When child can discriminate between ERROR
and TARGET IN SENTENCES, production begins. |
|
The traditional approach that Harris Winitz took 12 years to develop.
|
The discrimination approach
|
|
Define the nonsense approach.
|
Using nonsense syllables and words to illicit the production of target words.
|
|
What is the goal of the nonsense approach?
|
To facilitate carry over of learned target sounds from deliberate use to spontaneous conversational speech.
|
|
Who is considered the father of articulation and what approach did he develop?
|
Charles VanRiper
Stimulus approach |
|
What does the stimulus approach focus on?
|
The single misarticulated target sound.
|
|
What approach provides the core for traditional therapy?
|
The stimulus approach.
|
|

2 - Production training 3 - Transfer and carry-over 4 - Maintenance |
|
What are the 4 steps to the application of the behavioral approach to articulation therapy?
|

2 - Specify target behavior 3 - Establish antecedent events (cues and prompts) 4 - Establish consequent events such as positive reinforcement |
|
What are the 2 major principles of linguistic-based approaches?
|
1 - Child's rule system is different from adult's and the child must learn the adults. (focus on group of sounds associated with a rule)
2- The function of the phonological system is to support communication and end goal needs to be improved communication |
|
What are the two major groups of the linguistic-based approaches?
|
1- Distinctive feature approach
2 - Phonological process approach |
|
What are the 2 disadvantages of the distinctive feature approach?
|
1. Time required to complete analysis
2. Questionable articulatory validity of many feature systems. |
|
The phonological process approach is based on these 3 assumptions.
|
1 - Treatment will result in more efficient therapy
2 - Assumes the problem is one of rule learning so treatment should entail discovery of those rules. 3 - Problem is proposed to be phonemic and not phonetic. |
|
Explain the difference between phonemic and phonetic.
|
Phonemic has to do with language and the production of words
Phonetic has to do with looking at individual speech sounds (phonemes) |
|
What are the 3 guiding principles for selection of phonological processes for remediation?
|
1. Select processes that interfere most with intelligibility.
2. Select less stable processes. They are more amenable to change. 3. Select processes that are most common in young children. |
|
Why do you need to know so many approaches to therapy?
|
So that you can select the best features from all of the models and create you own eclectic approach.
