Clinical Procedures Of Speech Pathology

Front 1

What is the normative approach when selecting targets?

Back 1

it selects the target behaviors that are appropriate for the client in view of his or her age and the age-based norms

Front 2

What is the client-specific approach when selecting targets?

Back 2

the targets that make an immediate and significant difference in the client's communication are selected regardless of the norms.

Front 3

What are the oral-motor considerations in therapy?

Back 3

hyposensitivity, hypersensitivity, weakness or incoordination of oral structures

Front 4

What are the basic goals of oral-motor therapy?

Back 4

Heighten conscious awareness of oral mechanism, normalize sensitivity to stimulation, inhibit primitive or abnormal reflex patterns while enhancing normal movement patterns, increase differentiation and stabilization of oral structures, and refine artic movements by increasing strength and range of motion

Front 5

helpful hint

Back 5

do not include more than one error sound in a stimulus word,, phrase, or sentence during initial stages of therapy

Front 6

helpful hint

Back 6

pay attention to the phonetic context of words that contain a child's target sounds

Front 7

helpful hint

Back 7

therapy sessions that elicit the greatest number of sound productions will be the most effective in establishing correct production as an automatic behavior

Front 8

helpful hint

Back 8

children w/ persistent errors that appear to be functional should be evaluated for the presence of oral-motor difficulties

Front 9

helpful hint

Back 9

use books that contain target sounds as immersion activities

Front 10

helpful hint

Back 10

counsel parents to respond consistently to the content of their child's utterances before pointing out speech errors or modeling correct productions to prevent frustration or negative feelings

Front 11

What are the factors affecting therapy for cleft palate clients?

Back 11

velopharyngeal insufficiency, dental anomalies, hearing deficits

Front 12

What are the factors affecting clients with hearing impairment?

Back 12

degree of loss, age of onset, configuration of hearing loss, age of identification, degree of linguistic complexity

Front 13

What are the characteristics of DVD (developmental verbal dyspraxia)?

Back 13

small repertoire of phonemes, late to talk, inconsistent speech errors, vowel distortions as well as consonant errors, groping behaviors, poor sequencing of speech movements

Front 14

What are the therapy implications with clients with DVD?

Back 14

slow, arduous progress
lots of repetitive drill
visual, tactile cues
sequenced movement patterns targeted
may need AAC in short-term

Front 15

What are the phonological processes?

Back 15

weak syllable deletion, cluster reduction, gliding, fronting, final consonant deletion

Front 16

What are the types of therapy that are effective with phonological processes?

Back 16

the "cycles" approach that identifies phonological patterns that are targeted for a designated amount of time. Includes: auditory bombardment, production training, stimulability probes, and take-home activities to promote generalization

Front 17

What is Semantics?

Back 17

meaning of individual words

Front 18

What is Morphology?

Back 18

the structure of words

Front 19

What is Syntax?

Back 19

the rules governing the order and combination of words in the construction of well-formed sentences

Front 20

What is Pragmatics?

Back 20

the rules governing the use of language in a social context

Front 21

What are the intervention targets for infants?

Back 21

localization, joint/shared attention, mutual gaze, joint action and routines, vocalizations, communicative intentions, nonsymbolic play, symbolic play, initial vocab/first lexicon

Front 22

What are the intervention targets for toddlers

Back 22

vocabulary, morphology, sentence types, and literacy

Front 23

helpful hint for language intervention

Back 23

teach the agent + action and action + object semantic relations sequentially b/c it generally provides an easy transition into 3-word utterances

Front 24

helpful hint for language intervention

Back 24

encourage families to engage children in activities to promote emergent literacy

Front 25

helpful hint for language intervention

Back 25

may be more effective to repeat or expand a child's utterance than to directly correct the child's form

Front 26

What are the treatment targets at the language for learning stage of development?

Back 26

curriculum, literature-based activities, semantics (Story Comp To Go, Famous Words and Proverbs, Alike Because..., Barrier Games), syntax (analyze sentences for parts of speech and sentence type, sentences and fragments fun deck, workbooks)

Front 27

What are the intervention factors at the advanced language stage of development

Back 27

Semantics (walc 11, Word Burst, Key Concepts for Grades 7-8, HELP for Language, Root word strategies), Syntax/morphology (incorporate classroom language arts books, edit written language)
