100

These clients may respond more quickly to a stimulable target.

Who are younger children or those with less tolerance for failure?

100

The number of properly administered teaching episodes in a session.

What is dose?

100

This intervention uses a drill-oriented approach in a rigid hierarchy to focus on production of a single phoneme at a time.

What is the traditional articulation or Van Riper approach?

100

These two interventions address only accurate execution of speech sounds, not the motor planning or production.

What are the traditional approach and interventions for developmental dysarthria?

100

This is the first target recommended for bilinguistic or bidialectal clients with speech sound disorders.

What is error patterns that are atypical in all the client's languages or dialects?

200

This is the type of context associated with less feature changes between intended and error productions.

What is the most knowledge context?

200

This is the most important component of dose.

What is treatment intensity?

200

This intervention uses auditory and tactile input to target functional words in a hierarchy of gross to fine motor control, from glottal to jaw, to lips, and tongue.

What is PROMPT?

200

This diagnosis is appropriately treated with the NDP3, PROMPT, ReST, and DTTC.

What is childhood apraxia of speech?

200

This is why you would not target word final /n/ for an AAVE-speaking client.

What is "Nasals are often optional in word final position?"

300

According to target selection focusing on frequency of occurrence, this is the first logical target for young children or those severely impaired.

What are stops?

300

According to current research, doses of less than this number per 30 minutes are not effective.

What is 50?  Research suggests over 70 are necessary for severe speech sound disorders.

300

This approach uses any and all types of cues and models, focusing on functional words in choral production, immediate and delayed production, then cued and spontaneous production.

What is Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing?

300

This intervention is recommended specifically for severe CAS.

What is DTTC?

300

This focus of accent modification treatment is defined as the ease of understanding.

What is comprehensibility?

400

According to existing research, these clients are more likely to respond to nondevelopmental phoneme targets.

Children with multiple active phonological processes who are stimulable for the nondevelopmental target sounds.

400

This dose factor is a significant predictor of intervention gains over the course of a school year.

What is number of total sessions?

400

This intervention targets articulatory accuracy, syllable transitions, and lexical stress using multisyllabic nonwords.

What is Rapid Syllable Transition Treatment?

400

This intervention adds a component of phonological awareness.

What is the Nuffield Dyspraxia Programme?

400

This type of feedback is most appropriate to generalized learning of motor movements.

What is infrequent, delayed knowledge of results feedback?

500

When target selection focuses on facilitating patterns, this is the order targeted.

What are syllableness, singleton consonants, /s/ clusters, anterior/posterior contrasts, and liquids?

500

When providing treatment to a group of children with comorbid speech and language disorders, these are evidence-based negative factors on dose.

What are as group size increases, individual dose decreases by 13 trials per child and children with comorbid disorders typically receive significantly fewer doses of intervention?

500

This is the key focus in most interventions for developmental dysarthrias.

What is loud, clear speech?

500

This intervention specifically requires the client to have good cognition and grit.

What is ReST?

500

This is the level of evidence in support of nonspeech oral motor techniques.

What is none?
