Comd 3120 Unit 6 - Traditional Articulation Therapy Approach

Front 1

What are the 3 guiding principles to the traditional approach?

Back 1

Usually treat one or a few sounds at a time
Comprised of a series of steps
Progressively train sound (from simple isolated stage through conversational stage)

Front 2

What are the five steps to the traditional approach?

Back 2

Discrimination training
stimulability
sound stabilization
generalization
maintenance

Front 3

In discrimination training, you ______ and _________ between _______ and _______ production.

Back 3

listen, discriminate, error, correct

Front 4

What are the two types of discrimination training?

Back 4

clinician-client (ex: when clinician produces the sound, the child holds up a sign)

client-client (ex: client listens to self and holds up sign for yes or no)

Front 5

What step of the traditional approach requires you to teach correct placement and production (sometimes the hardest part of therapy)?

Back 5

stimulability (sound elicitation)

Front 6

What are some of the materials you can use for stimulability?

Back 6

mirror, diagrams, tissues, gloves, see-scape, video articulator, sound-level meter, spectographs, straw, tube from mouth to ear, fm system, tongue depressor

Front 7

List the four stimulability approaches.

Back 7

auditory stimulation/imitation
use of context
moto-kinesthetic
sound approximation (shaping)

Front 8

What is sound stabilization?

Back 8

expanding the productions in which the sound occurs

Front 9

What are the linguistic levels for sound stabilization?

Back 9

isolation
syllables
words
phrases
sentences
conversation

Front 10

What is generalization?

Back 10

(the other toughest part of therapy) - getting the client to use their new skills out of the therapy room - generating more natural practice situations to make production more natural and automatic

Front 11

What are four things you can do to improve generalization?

Back 11

speech assignments
speech budy
clear speech time periods
involve parents

Front 12

What is maintenance?

Back 12

progressive check up of client to see that productions remain correct - should be done at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months

Front 13

List four things that should describe the target behaviors that you select.

Back 13

immediate and socially significant difference in the communicative skills of the client
produced and reinforced at home and in other natural settings
help expand the communicative skills
are linguistically and culturally appropriate for the individual client

Front 14

List ten features of sounds you should choose.

Back 14

1. functional for the child
2. are stimulable
3. occur in key words or contextual testing
4. are visible
5. occur more frequently
6. affect intelligibility the most
7. are inconsistently mispronounced
8. are acquired earlier
9. are part of the child's phonetic inventory
10. may generalize to others

Front 15

When a selecto number of sounds is taught intensively, what is this called?

Back 15

training deep approach

Front 16

What is it called when simultaneous teaching of multiple targets occurs?

Back 16

training broad approach

Front 17

What is it called when simultaneous teaching of multiple targets occurs?

Back 17

training broad approach
