Motor Lens
A child produces 'uh' for 'up'
What is difficulty with closed-open-close movement sequence
This type of assessment is commonly used with motor speech clients.
What is dynamic assessment?
DTTC stands for this
What is Dynamic Temporal Tactile Cueing?
This refers to long-term, generalizable change.
What is learning?
A child says:
What movement pattern would you target first?
Closed-open-close movement sequences
Examples:
Focus on completion of the movement sequence rather than the sound itself.
A child produced /t/ with tongue between teeth
What is reduced superior lingual elevation/precision
Dynamic assessment examines how a child responds to this.
What is cueing/support?
"Watch me, listen to me, say it with me" describes this treatment approach"
What is DTTC?
This refers to temporary success during therapy.
What is performance?
Your client is:
Which treatment approach would likely be most appropriate?
DTTC
A child produces "me" with the teeth on the lower lip.
What is reduced labial contact with reliance on a compensatory dentolabial pattern?
True or False:
A child must complete a dynamic assessment to receive a diagnosis of CAS.
False. But is "gold standard"
This tactile-kinesthetic treatment uses hands-on prompts.
What is PROMPT?
This type of practice is ideal when establishing a new motor plan.
What is mass practice?
Your client:
Would you begin with blocked or random practice?
Blocked
A child says "ha" for "hi."
What is reduced differentiation between high and low vowel postures/jaw grading for vowels.
This hallmark CAS feature reflects difficulty moving smoothly between sounds and syllables.
What are disrupted transitions?
Name the DTTC hierarchy from most support to least support.
What is simultaneous production, direct imitation, delayed imitation, spontaneous production?
This type of practice supports retention and generalization.
What is distributed practice?
"The child substituted /d/ for /g/."
Rewrite this observation from a motor speech lens.
Reduced posterior lingual elevation.
A child repeatedly says "baba" for "baby."
What is reduced movement variability / difficulty transitioning between motor plans?
Name three characteristics associated with CAS.
What are groping, vowel distortions, disrupted transitions, prosodic errors, or voicing errors?
This practice condition improves generalization by changing practice conditions across trials.
What is variability?
A child produces:
What motor speech concern might this suggest?
Reduced movement variability.
The child relies on a single motor pattern & demonstrates difficulty transitioning between movement plans.
