-a microphone is linked to an acoustic display
-images are taken from a custom-made EPG palate worn during intervention to compare to printed out images for correct placement
Name one problem an SLP in the school might face when trying to implement an articulation approach?
Only 20-30 minutes of time, group sessions with different goals, etc.
Are drill play and high frequency word lists approaches or aspects of therapy?
Aspects of therapy. An approach would be cycles, minimal pairs, etc.
What percentage of SLP's in the school setting do you believe have children with SSD's on their caseload?
